T.U.C.

The origin of Britain’s Trades
Union Congress 80 years ago,
was due to the initiative taken
by a local Trades Council. In
the days before there was a na-
tional assembly of trade union
delegations, meeting annually,
the Trades Councils served as the
only link between unions in the
United Kingdom which affiliated
their branches for localized ac-
tivities on a common basis,
through the Trades Council in
the area. These Councils serve
a similar’ purpose today. The T.
U.C. General Council recognizes
521 of them in England and
Wales.

$66,000 The Lot

Highlights of Christmas adver-
tising was a display by a firm of
jewelers urging the purchase of
“fine jewels” at three prices—a
brooch at $12,500; a necklace at
$28,500, and a bracelet at
$25,000.”

$66,000 the lot! And this at a
time when the average family
budget was being pared to find
the price of a tie for Dad and a
pair of nylons for Mom.

Somebody must be making a
lot of money somewhere, but tens
of thousands of Christmas shop-
pers merely looked in the lighted
windows and gasped.
