cording 10 the report of the state bur-
eau of statistics.
Never in the history OF organized
labor, says the report, has there been
so great an increase in single year
as took place in 1912. During the 12
months there was a net increase OF
20 local unions and a net increase of
5,730 members.
Strikes, the desire OF certain trades
10 organize and the sudden zeal OF
which brought about greater activity
on the part OF the regular trade un-
ions 10 extend their organization
work. are assigned as causes for the
increase. OF the new unions which
organized during the year, the larg-
est membership was achieved by the
street and electric railway employees,
where there was a gain of more than
5000 members, and among the tele-
phone operators, which has more
than 1000 affiliated.
The most noteworthy feature OF the
year in labor circles was the great
industrial strike at Lawrence. OF this
movement, the report says: The
great strike in Lawrence brought into
national prominence the Industrial
Workers of the World and demonstra-
ted the effectiveness of direct action
under the leadership of those who,
inspired by revolutionary ideals, as
sumo direction of large bodies OF
poorly organized and unskilled alien
workers"
