WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-Why
does PROS RITY cause
STRIKES?
The past year has seen more
strikes and disturbances in the
labor world than possibly any
previous year in the history of the
country. The pending strike of
the 400, 900 railroad>men empha-
size that labor unrest" is more
prevalent than ever before.
Last August there occurred 143
separate strikes and lockouts; in
September there were 165 more;
October added IO6; November
SO; December 68; January ia.
During February, March and
April, such labor troubles in
creased until by May it was es-
timated more than half million
workers we're affected.
Strikes Occur
During May occurred the big
strikes of cloakmakers, carpenters
and painters In New York, tailors
in Chicago, and bituminous coal
miners in Pennsylvania.
In addition 5000 longshoremen
went out on the Pacific coast,
1000 coal miners quit in Kansas

4 that time, the street railway

The same reports that tell
of strikes and IOckOuts, tell
of industry working at its

In the last quarter century,
of higher wages and shorter

The army of the unemployed

Thus, prosperity brings strikes

Here's the Reason
Most strikes in the steel indus
try have come when conditions
were almost unbearable for the
worker.
THE FACT IS THAT STRIKES
OCCUR WHEN BUSINESS HITS
THE BOTTOM, AND ALSO
WHEN 1T HITS THE TOP!
Government economists
who have studied the ques-
ton declare that for the
worker INDUSTRIAL STAG
NATION and INDUSTRIAL
PROSPERITY are the same
thing.
When conditions become
| unbearable it means that
wages are not sufficient to
buy food, clothing and shell

and kiddies.
/ When prosperity sweeps

The advantage to the workei
