Hundred and sixty.flve Thousand Men
Idle in New York City.
New York, May 26.-There are 1861
900 idle men in New York notwith-
standing the fact that every line of
business is booming in the city. These
men, but for strikes, lockouts and dis
sensions among rival labor unions,
would be earning a total of $66O,O,
day, or $3,96O,000 a week.
Not only is every penny of this
stupendous sum lost to them, but in
dustries and firms, representing a total
capitalization of $550,O00,0O0, are at a
standstill. with consequent loss of
profits.
The trade paralysis has reached q
stage more extensive than any here
tofore known, even during periods Of
great industrial depression.
Most Of the workmen are idle, not
for any act of their individual unions,
but for the acts of other unions or be-
cause Of the recent decision of the
employers to stand together and fight
the demands of one union by throwing
the workmen OF other unions into
idleness.
