BRITISH INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION
FALL IN UNEMPLOYMENT British industrial production grained momentum during February, as indicated by the rapid fall in unemployment. The 1.196,000 persons entered on the unemployment registers on February 21 represented a reduction of 74.000 from the previous week and an increase of only 72,000 above the number 12 months earlier. As 100,000 fewer miners are now employed than was the case a year ago, the present unemployment figure is an especially significant indication that the industrial position is considerably improved.
