Tannochside – Miners Warned Out - A batch of about 50 miners and their families have been warned out of Tannochside New Rows, Uddingston, the notice to quit expiring on Thursday. A considerable time ago the Tannochside Collieries and Old Rows were purchased by the Mr Archibald Russell, coalmaster, from the Calderbank Iron and Steel Company, but the New Rows - built close by, but on a separate feu - were not purchased by Mr Russell. His employees continued to occupy them until recently, when it transpired that the houses had been purchased by the United Collieries Company. Notices were then served on a certain number that, not being in the United Collieries Company's employ, and the houses being needed for the United men, they would require to remove. Simultaneous with this Mr Russell set about the election of several blocks of new houses. The notices now served have caused quite a commotion amongst Mr Russell's men, who are unable to get houses in the district.[Bellshill Speaker 18 August 1900]
