Report of Proceedings
of
Arbitration Committee Meeting
held in the
The Coal Trade Offices, Newcastle-on-Tyne
On Monday, May 1st 1922
4415. Tudhoe. George Porter, 27, stoneman.
On 5th November, 1919, Porter fell on the flat sheets whilst pushing a kibble of stone and caught his shin on a piece of stone. There were two small wounds which turned septic. They healed up but are breaking out intermittently. He was paid full compensation up to 15th October, 1921, when he was certified fit for work if he wore a suitable bandage. Porter contended he was not fit for work and the colliery was closed. Dr. Tinsley first reported to the Owners that Porter was fit for work, and ultimately Dr. Pearson. Dr. Tinsley reported to us on 27th January, 1922 :—
"I think he is fit for work where there is no danger of scratching or bruising his leg, and would therefore recommend his employment at bank rather than down the pit."
Adjourned.
