TRADE UNIONS.
POSITION AT HOME. FUNDS GREATLY REDUCED. RUGBY, Friday. The report of the Registrar 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 urn ions suffered such great inroads on their funds, and that was in 1921, when they distributed £7,000,000 in unemployed funds. —British Official Wireless. ‘
