FUNDS. REDUCED
MEMBERSHIP LOWER UNIONS AND GENERAL STRIKE (British Official Wireless.) BUGBY, sth January. The report of the Begistrar of Friendly Societies on trade unions for the year 1926 shows a further decrease of 300,000 in membership, and, owing to the general strike, the expenditure on the dispute was the heaviest experienced. The funds were reduced from £12,750,000 to £8,750,000. In only one other year have trade unions suffered such great inroads on their funds, and that was in 1921, when they distributed £7,000,000 in unemployed funds.
