THE BRITISH UNEMPLOYED.

RELIEF WORKS AUTHORISED. Press Assn — By telegraph — Copyright. LONDON, yesterday; The London County Council has authorised work which will absorb the unemployed, including the expenditure of a siim of £281,000 for the electrification of trams ; but the Council negatived the scheme of Captain Hemphill, deputy-chairman, to expend a million on electrical traction and street widening. Mr John Burns asked the Council to facilitate useful schemes of winter work. The Times decides the Cabinet is divided as to whether the remedy for unemployment should be legislative or administrative.
