UNEMPLOYMENT IN SOUTH WALES
PITIFUL REVERSES GF FORTUNE.
(Rec. March 15, 8.45 p.m.) London, March 15.
Unemployment has produced a tragic change in thousands of South’ Welsh homes. The war-time earnings enabled tho people to live in comparative affluence, and they furnished their homes in some degree of luxury. Now forty thousand are idle in the Rhondda VaJley alone, and acute distress exists among large families. The "Daily Chronicle’ states that the reverse of fortune irf pitiful. Pianos are sold for £l2, and good kitohen ehairg at a shilling eax:h. A collier always insisted on buying tho best available piano. Now the same homes are often reduced to bare requirements in furniture, and some even_ of these have begun to vanish. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
