English Have Better Trade After Strike
Settlement of the coal strike after over three months of idleness, plus renewed cotton operatives and engineering activity, has transformed Britain’s industrial and economic outlook. June’s living costs fell, the index dropping from 128 to 119, while the bank rate eased. Britain plans a 5 million dollar grant to boost Empire cotton growing, replacing the former annual grant. An Anti-Dumping Bill is to begin September 30 with duties up to 500 percent in some cases. May output of pig iron and steel fell sharply from 1920 levels, reflecting a coal strike. The American Chamber in London will publish a trade report on office appliances. The International Chamber of Commerce concluded its discussions.
