THE LABOR SITUATION.
Twenty of the 43 Strikes Re-
suited in Favor of Employers.
Five Favored the Employees, and Nine
Were promised-Demand for
Increased Wages Was Leading
Cause of Disputes.

Albany, N. Y, Sept. 19.-The guar
terly bulletin of the state department
of labor issued Sunday has this to
say as to the situation in state and
nation.
In the first quarter of the year, ow-
ing to labor disputes, unusually cold
and stormy weather and lessened ac-
tivity in few industries, employment
was very poor; but subsequently there
was so much improvement that June
and July actually surpassed the record
year 1902. Among approximately
100000 wage earners in the various in
dustries of the state, 157 per 1000
were earners in the various industries
of the state, 1877 per 1000 were report
ed idle at the end of June, 1904, as
compared with 231 and las in June,
1908, and 1902. respectively; for the
close of July in 1902, 1903 and 1904.
the respective ratios were 156, 17S
and 148. The principal cause of this
improvement was the phenomenal ac-
tivity in construction work in the lead
ing cities.
Conditions of employment in the en-
tire country manifest similar improve
ment, according to the late statistics
collected by the American Federation
of Labor In the September issue of
the American Federationist the official
magazine of the federation, it is stated
that among 85,450 members of the
1892 local unions making returns for
July, 16 per cent were without en-
iployment at the close of the month,
while month earlier the 1891 unions
making returns reported 81 per cent.
of the membership as unemployed, and
in July. 1903, the PERCENTAGE of unem-
ployed was" 3:S.
Referring to strikes, the bulletin
said that the two overshadowing dis
iputes for the second quarter of this
year were the masters and pilots on
the Great Lakes and the New York
Clothing Trades strike against the
"open shop. 1t adds:
! "In the labor disputes about $4,000
employees were directly concerned, and
probably as many more thrown out OF
employment from some part Of the
period of the dispute, the total num-
ber of working days lost being esti-
mated at more than one million.
About one-half a million days time
was lost by the 1000 masters and
pilots and the 10000 other marine
workmen from New York state effected
by the formers dispute with the Lake
carriers association. The total num-
Der of workers directly concerned in
disputes begun in April, May and June
was $4,000, and the aggregate number
of work days lost was 1928 900. Twen-
ty of the 43 disputes resulted in favor
of the employers and only five in ia
vor of the employees, while nine were
compromised. The compromises were
nearly all made upon demands for in
creased wages which was still the lead
ing cause of disputes. The employers
were almost uniformly successful in
the disputes involving trade unionism."
