STRIKES ARE EXPENSIVE.

When one stops to count the cost
of the strikes that take place in this
country, the figures are amazing.
The question at once arises: "Who
pays the piper?" In other words,
who suffers most from strikes, and
upon whom does the greatest hard
ship fall? Whose hard earned money
goes to pay the enormous bills in
Cured during strikes, and who must
suffer the loss attendant upon closed
factories and shops?
Employer aud employee share these
losses, but in what proportion? Fig
ures show that the employees pay just
about twice as much as the employ
ers in the settlement of the bills. And
the unhappy part of it for the work
ingmen is that employees are the least
able to stand the drain upon their
financial resources.
Looking at the year 1903, statistics
recently compiled show that there
were during that year 1879 strikes in
the United States; that the days lost
numbered l, $40, 934; that the wages
lost amounted to $18, 341 $40; that
the loss sustained by employers
reached 50, AL, 299, and that the num-
Der of people idle was 6, Jos, 694
In Pennsylvania alone there were
in that year 218 strikes, over 10000
days were lost involving a wage loss
of more than So, 900, 900 and loss to
employers of more than $1,000, 900,
and throwing over 23S, 900 persons
out of employment.
New York s record for that year is
greater, the number of strikes being
319, and the days lost numbering
over $4,000. The losses in money
were comparatively small, but the
proportion paid by workingmen and
