H.E. AT TUNG WAH HOSPITAL.
the substantial accumulation of orders cnsured considerable` acti- jvity in many branches of industry. · With the completion of these ar- rears, however, an increase in the volume of unemployment might. reasonably have been expected, but on the whole, the figures for the second half of the year shows comparatively little change from those for the first six months. The heavy industries have continu- jed to experience considerable diffi- culties, but the gradual reduction of the advantages previously en- joyed by many foreign competitors. as a result of the depreciation of their currencies, has been reflect. ed in British manufacturers secur ing an increased share of the avail able business. In addition, many of the newer industries have strengthened their position. Per haps one of the most astisfactory features of the year has been the mprovement in the relations be tween capital and labour, as evi- denced, in part, by the fact that, in 1927, the number of working days lost through labour disputes was considerably fewer than in any provious year since the War, That a greater disposition exists on both sides to examine together the various industrial problems, con- fronting the country has been shown during the past month by the acceptance by the General' Council of the Trades Union Con-
