MANY STRIKES DECLARED
IN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS THEY
NUMBERED 3e,757.
Total Number Of Employees Affected
Was Over Nine Million-Building
Trades Most Prominent.

The industries of the United States suf-
fered less from strikes during 1900 than
in any year since 1892, If the number OF
employees thrown out of work by strikes
and the duration of the strikes be taken as a
measure. According to the twenty-first an
nual report of the bureau of labor of the
Department of Commerce and Labor in 1905
there were 221 CSC employees thrown out OF
work by 2,U77 strikes, undertaken by 176,
337 strikers in 1922 establishments, and
lasting an average of twcnty-three days in
each establishment involved. The report
in part says:
The year 1894 stands out in the history
of the country as the year most notable for
the great number of workers thrown out of
work by strikes. over 66O,OOO employees be-
ing thrown out of work by $40 strikes, I'M
dertaken by jO;5, O49 strikers, in s. 1916 estab-
lishments. and lasting an average of thirty
two days in each establishment involved"
Over $4,000 Strikes.
Statistics for a twentyfve-year period,
from 1881 to 1906, show strikes in the
United States numbered So 57 and lock-
outs l.546.
The total number of persons who went
out on strike during the twenty-five years
was 6,'2S,o4S and locked out 1921. The
dependence of one occupation upon another
in the same establishment swells the ag-
gregate of employees affected during the
period to 9.52J, 4:4.
The average duration of strikes per estab-
llshment was twenty-five days, and of lock-
outs eightyfour days. The greatest num-
Der of strikes in any one industry was in
the building trades. which had over 26 per
cent of all strikes and IS per cent of all the
establishments involved in strikes. In lock-
outs the building trades also led all other
industries.
The importance of the part that organ
lied labor plays in strikes" the report says,
lis indicated by the fact that of the total
number of strikes in twenty-five years prac-
t!cally 60 per cent were ordered by labor
organizations. Employees who struck sue
ceeded oftener than they failed. and en-
ployers We're similarly successful in lock-
outs. Employees succeeded in winning all
the demands for which strikes were under
taken in per cent of the establishments !;
succeeded partly in over Is per cent and in
only 36 per cent of the esta blishments did
they fail entirely to win any of their de-
mandS.''
Lockouts resulted wholly in favor of en-
pioyerS in over 81 per cent of the esta blish-
ments involved. succeeded partly in IL per
cent, and failed entirely in 81 per cent.
