POOR RELIEF DROPS.
General Decrease Reported in Britain. EMPLOYMENT FOR YOUTHS. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, August 21. Figures issued by the Ministry of Labour show a general decrease in the number of persons in receipt of poor relief in 47 selected areas in England, Wales and Scotland. The number relieved in July was 1.3 per cent less than in the previous month, and 5.2 per cent less than a year ago. The decrease was somewhat greater in the case of outdoor relief than in that of indoor relief. A special analysis of unemployment among juveniles issued by the Ministry shows a reduction of 8000 in the number of registered unemployed boys and girls under IS years of age on June 24 last, compared with November 26, 1934.
The total in June was 102,000, of whom about 50 per cent were under IC— a somewhat higher proportion than last November.
