SYMPTOMS
By SCOTT NEARING.

The United States is prosperous
more so, perhaps, than it has been for
fifty years Yet despite this thing
called prosperity, or, perhaps because OF
it, the people are profoundly dissatis-
fled. Discomfort abounds. Unrest -
everywhere.
Everyone grants the existence OF un-
rest. Even to students of the problem
the symptoms OF its rapidly widening in
fluences are surprising.
Glance for example at the record of
strikes that have occurred in the past
two years.
The United States department OF la
Dor reports that during the first nine
months OF 1915 there were 9l6 strikes
and lockouts. For the same months in
1916 the total was 2,5S4-almost three
times as great. To be sure, strikes
occur during periods OF prosperity. but
the leap from nine hundred to twenty
five hundred in one prosperous year Is
none the less extraordinary.
The strikes OF 1916 We're not local.
They were confined to no one section
and to no one industry. On the con-
trary they We're well distributed over
localities and over industries.
There We're eighteen states in which
more than four strikes occurred during
September. 1916. Pennsylvania leads the
list with forty-seven strikes; New York
follows with forty. then comes Massa-
chusetts with thirty, Ohio with eighteen,
New Jersey with fourteen, and Conneetr-
cut and Illinois with thirteen each.
While the strike area is of necessity the
industrial area, the field of strikes was
as wide spread as the field of present
day industry.
The industry reporting the iarges,
number OF strikes is the metal trades
The metal trades industry is very far
from being alone, however. Fifteen 9th
er trades report four or more strikes
for the month of September, 1916. The
number of strikes in the metal trades
was fifty-three; among the miners, thir'
ty-four; the building trades, thirty-threc
among the textile workers, twenty; the
clothing industry, fifteen; among the
bakers, eleven, and among paper makers
! ten. The strike area is thus spread owe,
as wide range of Industrial activities
as it is of states.
! Most of the strikes were called by
unions. In l54 strikes and eight lock
outs, the employees were connected Will
unions; in nineteen strikes and two lock
] outs they We're not so connected; II
/ nine strikes they were not connected
with unions at the time of striking, but
/ became organized during the course o.
] the strike; in the remaining eighty three
! strikes it was not stated whether tn,
| strikers had union affiliation or NOT.

/ fcrcnt industries, located in all of. tn,
great industrial centers. Unrest is grow
