FEWER WORKLESS

Britain’s Good April (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, May 5. . Commenting on. the reduction of 146,758 in the number of workless people in Britain., which is shown by the latest monthly return issued last night, the Daily Telegraph, London, says that April marked a distinct stage in the conquest of unemployment “It is when 12 months’ recovery is viewed as a whole that the solid na ture of the advan.ee becomes* manifest,” the paper adds. "Coal i s the most basic of all our industries, and since April, 1936, the increase of employment in the coal trade falls but little short of 190,000. Cotton is second, while the engineering industry, the most sensitive to rearmament orders’, is only fourth. “The plain truth is that a good April has crowned a good 12 months, l and that the end of recovery is not yet in sight.”
