Superstition or Pleasure?
Work was resumed at all the collieries in South-east Lancashire after the Easter holidays yesterday. In the Manchester and Bolton districts several hundreds of men absented themselves, causing much inconvenience. Many of the miners in these localities consider it unlucky to start on the first day after a holiday stoppage, and make this an excuse for another day's play.
