BRITISH INDUSTRY
PROCESS OF SOCIAL EVOLUTION
(British Official Wireless.)
Rugby, November 20.
The process of social evolution, with a change in the nature and location of national industries, is disclosed in the Ministry of Labour “Gazette.” For the purposes of analysis 100 industries have been treated separately, and of these 66 record increases during the last five years and 34 show decreases. The workers in the silk and artificial silk industry have increased by 93.6 per cent., and the expansion last year almost equalled that of the four preceding years together. Statistics confirm in a striking manner the southern trend of industry. The London area has increased its number of insured workers in five years by 10.2 per cent. London and the South-Eastern counties taken together now represent 25.7 per cent, of the insured population, as compared with 24.2 per cent, in 1923.
