REOPENING OF WORKS
ACTIVITY IN BRITAIN SIGNS OF RECOVERY (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 10 a.m. RUGBY, Nov. 14. Evidence of the growing business activity, which promises well for continued recovery in the next, period, accumulates. News has reached Swansea of plans to re-open the Cwmfelin tinplate works, which have been idle for years.
It is understood that the plant is to be employed in the manufacture of steel cases for the carriage of fish in place of the wooden boxes now in use.
It also is considered probable that the Bryngwyn steelworks in South Wales, which have been closed for six years, will begin to work again shortly. At Monkton, near Jarrow, in Durham, there is a proposal to construct new coke ovens and a bv-product and coalcleaning plant at a" cost of £250,000. The plant will use about 200,000 tons of coal annually. One of the big works at" Middlesbrough which has just booked a single order for 35,000 tons of steel has increased its earnings by 18 per cent, since 1931, and is employing 59 per cent, more workers.
