A Miners' Superstition.
The colliery at Halesowen, Worcestershire, has been idle for two days through a superstitious fear that ill-luck would befall the miners who failed to cease work as a mark of respect for a comrade who had been killed. This has caused the large ironworks to be closed for three days.
Yorkshire Evening Post, 1st March 1920.
