English Miners Refuse Income Tax Fined for Absence
Three Lancashire coal miners were ordered by the court at Wigan to pay 50 damages each for missing work and causing a loss of 177 tons. One miner said he would not pay income tax on earnings over 650 dollars. The second said he gave his mother a weekly sum to cover tax, but she failed to wake him for work. The third admitted he could have worked more but chose not to.
