WAGES ON INCREASE
DESPITE WORLD WAR
Activity of Trade Has Also Been
Sustained But Number Employed
is Lowest on Record.

London, Jan. 26.-The fourth year
Of war has been remarkable for the
sustained activity Of trade, the con-
tinuous and cumulative increases in
wages and the ferment in the engi-
neering and munition industries, says
The Daily Telegraph.
During the past twelve months
wage increases to workingmen ex-
ceeded C 100, 900, 600 and the Increases
during the three years 1g15-16-17.
together with the rise in prices Of
commodities, have completely
revolutioniZed the pre-war economic
basis Of British trade.
The unpleasant feature Of the year
has been the growing discomfort and
unrest pervading large sections Of
the workers and this is seen i'm the
number of industrial disputes. often
Of the most trivial kind. Official re-
turns from January to November
indicate there were 494 disputes dur
ing those months affecting 647.724
workers and causing the loss of over
$500, 900 working days, the greatest
loss OF time being recorded during
September, October and November.
The number Of persons unemployed
Is the lowest on record and through
out the war period the figure has
steadily declined till it is now below
] per cent.
