(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.)
LONDON, May 19. A statement dealing with employment in Great Britain conveys the interesting information that there are 5,250,090 men and women who have paid into the Unemployment Insurance Fund for the last seven years and have not drawn from it a single penny. Among them are 500,000 who have not been out of work for a single day in the last twenty years. The lucky ones who have been in regular employment have been engaged chiefly in brewing, clothing, leather, food, tobacco, printing and newspaper industries.
Even in the textile,, woollen, mining and heavy industries, there are thousands who have never been out of employment, notwithstanding the fact that these classes of work have suffered most in the depression. Regular workers in employment have paid more than £50,000,000 into the fund from which the unemployed have drawn.
