ter of great national concern. The Mayor of
MiddlesbOrOugh writes to the Home Secre-
tary: "Trade has not revived here, and
great distress in the district has so seriously
affected those who previously subscribed to
relief funds that our local resources are not
TO be depended upon. l am, there
fore, obliged to ask for Government
assistance" As proof of the de-
preston in trade, the Chairman of
the Annual Congress of the Trades Unions
stated that four of the principal Unions
spent f26O,000 in relieving members during
the past year. To add to the unavoidable dis
tress, in the large cotton manufacturing
