In the bad early days before the Truck Acts, the "butty" or "gaffer", a middleman who contracted with the mining company to deliver an agreed tonnage of coal to the pithead, hiring and paying his own labour, often conducted his business as a profitable adjunct to other activities, administering to the coalfield as merchant, insurer or brothel-keeper and, as "butty", finding wages most promptly for his regular customers. There was widespread opposition to the "butty-system" in the second half of the nineteenth century, the miners demanding direct employment on piece-work by the colliery companies, and by 1912 most hewers in charge of "stalls" were restricted to the employment on a time wage of one man and a boy. As a simple working arrangement, the system", always virtually exclusive to the Midlands, continued to operate there, though on a diminishing scale, until the early 1930's. It was peculiar to the "longwall" method of working, the "butty" contracting to work a particular longwall face and engaging and paying his men, at a day-rate, out of the contract terms with the company. A small "working master", he would spend some time hewing the coal himself to set the pace and expect his men to keep up to it. Any tonnage cut in excess of the minimum agreed was his profit. He was an envied, but never a popular, figure.Marriage Notes (Maria Spruce (kc))
