Report of Meeting held 7th November, 1923
Dean & Chapter. George Barber, 52, hewer.
On the 15th September, 1921, Barber slipped whilst filling a tub of coal and ruptured himself, setting up hernia, for which he was operated upon at Durham County Hospital. He restarted work on 29th January, 1922, and worked until 24th June, 1922, when he had to cease, and restarted on 13th August, 1922. He again fell off on 27th March, 1923, and was off until 17th May, 1923, when he restarted and continued until August, 1923, when he had to give up. He is fit for light work but is unfit for hewing, and the management allege they cannot find light work, and Barber asks for full compensation.
At the last meeting Barber stated he had been examined by Dr. Turner, and the case was adjourned for a report to be obtained from Dr. Turner.
Awarded full compensation until suitable light work is found.
