WORK FOR ALL
BRITAIN’S NEW INDUSTRIAL TEMPO. “Th|e. opening of new factories indeed, accounts for something like ore-third of the increase in employment during the last couple of years,” adds the “Financial News.” “At the end of last year there were 250,060 more men and women at work in the manufacturing industries (i.e., excluding mining, building, transport, etc.) than at the end of 1933. In the two years factories which might have employed some 60,000, closed down. Thus there has been a net increase of 310,000 or so ■in employment. Of this, 96,300 is accounted for by new factories established in 1934 and 1935, and some • 25,000 by men elmployed in extensions to existing factories. The actual number of factories opened in 1935 was lower than it was in 1934, but it does include a large number of big concerns. There are 16 factories employing more than 400 men each, and four employing more than 2000.”
