1921 Census - Colliery Work Job Title

[Polly007]

Hi
Does anyone know what this might be, please?  The top two lines belong to the same person.
It's clearly 'Coal Miner ? Workman' but what's the '?', please? 
Thank you

Day Workman, i.e. paid by the day, not by contract
see day wageman here http://www.dmm.org.uk/educate/mineocc.htm#d

In County Durham they were also known as 'datalers'.

Thank you all SO much!  It's been transcribed as 'Dairy Working', so I was a bit blinkered by that.  Then I'm thinking, who works down a pit, for a full hard shift and then has time and energy to milk cows?  I knew it had to be something different to Dairy but couldn't figure it out!!

Thank you

Roger Dataller was a pen name adopted by Arthur A Eaglestone.  He had worked in the steel and coal industries in Yorkshire before gaining a scholarship to Oxford.  One of his titles was A Pitman looks at Oxford.

Colliery workers and dockyard workers would wait at the gates hoping to be cholsen to work that day .  At the gate would stand the "Tallyman2 who handed out tokens to men in the crowd.  Many men would go home to their families if the tallyman hadn't chosen them to work that day

I lived in a port and used to see about 10,000 men waiting at the various dockyards.
