GLEN AFTON COLLIERIES REPLACEMENT OF KEY MEN (Special to Times) GLEN AFTON, Saturday Temporary appointments to enable the resumption of work at the Glen Afton collieries, which have been idle since the disaster which caused the deaths of 11 key men last week-end, were announced by the superintendent, Mr P.
