Many Unemployed Abroad.

Pauperism has increased enormous
ly in the United Kingdom this year,
and the number of persons receiving
indoor relief is the greatest since the
records began in 1868.
A census of the unemployed, taken
by the newspapers, shows an extra
ordinary number-over % 900 In Glas-
gov alone. The London Times says
that the outlook is "the worst that the
younger men have faced" adding:
"The dominant fact is that there is
no life in shipbuilding, and no pres
pect of any revival. The railway shops
have cut down their staffs so PEI
cent of the masons are out of work,
and 20 per cent of the plumbers"
