strikes and real wages, 1t il
there shown that FROM January
to June, this year, there were
731 wage disputes. In the whole
year of 1911 there were 9O3, anC
in 1912, 82l. In no other year
since 1900 has the number ex.
ceeded $50, and it has generally
been under 500. The disputes
this year have involved $50, ,60C
workmen. .Thelargest single strike
was that of $4,000 South Wales
miners, who came out for a fort
night in May to settle the prob
lem Of non-union labor.
Changes in compensation show
that nearly 1,4OO,OOO workers
have received increases in their
weekly wages amounting in the
aggregate to $587,5OO per week.
Even when allowance is made
for unemployment, this must a
mount to considerably over $25,
900, 900 per annum.
During the other years of this
century decreases nearly outbal-
anced gains, so that the net gain
at the end of 1912 as against the
position in 1900, was only $685.
600 per week, or about $50, 42O,-
900 per year. At the end of
June, this year, the gain as a.
gainst 1900 was 81, $50, 900 per
week, or some SIS. 400, 600 a year.
Two-thirds of the whole gain in
the last six months has gone to
miners. The next largest share
goes to workmen in the building
trades, who have won their VIC
tories at a smaller relative cost,
in the shape of working days
lost through disputes. than any
other industries outside of min
ing.
Two questions naturally pre-
sent themselves in connection
with a review Of this kind:
l. Has changes in the cost of
living absorbed all of the increase
in wages, thus leaving real wa
ges no higher than before the in
creases were granted?
2. Did the cost of securing the
increase due to loss of earning
time during strikes, together
with the expenses of the strikes,
Overbalance the wage increase
gain, thus leaving the workmen
no better off after than
they were before they undertook
to better their condition by this
method?
On the second question The
New Statesman gives no infor-
nation.
On the first question it says:
"In spite of the increases of the
past eighteen months, it does
not seem certain that the posi-
Uion has improved as compared
with 1911. In any case the in
crease cannot be considerable" "
