Industry, trade and commerce. The situation in industry, trade and handwark is generally unchanged. While the supply of industrial coal is continuing to be good, the allocation of raw materials has deteriorated almost more and more; this is particularly true of the textile industry. Whereas the supply of industrial equipment, particularly coal-mining, with auxiliary equipment, also often encounters the greatest difficulties; whereas the expansion of industry throughout the Community is hampered by the fact that the labour force required to carry out the work is reduced; The recent selection of the enterprises by the employment offices is all the more noticeable since the addition of foreigners has also ceased and a replacement by Prauenarbcit by no means achieved the desired effect. It is even reported from time to time by an irresponsible attitude of the prauen committed to work. However, it is not necessary to complain about the morale of work, neither with German nor with foreign workers. I would like to ask the placement of industrial workers in the Sudetengau of workers who are coming from abroad or who are part of the labour force, especially since the already existing workers are not accommodated. The lack of skilled workers necessary for the conversion work, in particular lockmen and carpenters, has a very restrictive effect. T
