Details of Event
30 April 1924: Colliery Machineman Killed at Slamannan - Whilst Robert M'Allister (25), a colliery machineman residing at Blinkbonny, Slamannan, was employed in placing an electric coal-cutting machine in position in the mill coal section of No.3 Pit, Jawcraig colliery, Slamannan, he met with an accident which terminated fatally. It appears that in some way M'Allister was caught by the mechanical picks and sustained injuries from which he died almost immediately. He leaves a widow and one child. [Scotsman 2 May 1924]
