Abstract

ONE THIRD OF OUR COMMERCIAL THEATRES CLOSED SINCE THE war. Only one teenager in 25 a member of a youth club. 600 million a year spent in Britain on offcourse betting. Fourteen million members of Bingo clubs. So what has all this to do with industry 15 000 out of a labour force of 21 000 displaced by mechanised, automated equipment. A working force of 22 000 packing workers reduced to 9 000 by the same means. Ah, but that was in the USA Well what about 30 000 New York electrical workers on a 25 hour week Well that is America too And how about the shortest working week yet negotiated in Europe Ah well, Europe a bit nearer home maybe. Yes, but this was in Leigh, Lancs, and they negotiated a threeday week in a textile mill
