INDUSTRIAL AND ECONOMIC

Industrial unrest was apparent in
the United States throughout 1917,
largely as n result of war conditions
and in spite of efforts made by the
government, aided by leaders of organ-
izcd labor, to prevent strikes which
would delay the nations war prepara-
tionS.
Early in the year nationwide
strike of the skilled railroad employees,
which had been avcrted in 1916 by the
passage of the Adamson law, providing
indirectly for an Increase in wages.
was again threatened, owing to the
fact that the placing of the Adamson
law in operation was delayed pending
n decision by the United States Su-
premc court on its validity. The
threatened strike was avcrted March
Is by the capitulation Of the railroad
managers On the following day the
United States Supreme court handed
down a decision holding the Adamson
law constitutional.
Serious troubles were precipitated in
the Arizona copper fields July ! when
the miners struck. Disorders were re-
ported from several points and on
July u the people of Bigbec, Ariz., de-
ported POO members of the Industrial
Workers of the World, who it was
charged had fomented the strikes in
the copper mines. On July 81, 81 J..
w. w. leaders were deported from
Gallup, n. M. On August l. Frank Lit
tie, |. W. W. leader, who had been
prominent in the Arizona troubles, was
lynched at Butte, Mont, where he had
gone to take part in strike of miners
and where he was alleged to have
made speeches attacking the govern
ment.
A serious tie-up OF all shipbuilding
plants in the country was threatened
in August and September. Machinsts
and boilermakers in Eastern ship
yards went on strike August p and
25,000 skilled mechanics and other
workmen struck in San Francisco Sep
tember II. On September 20, Presi-
dent Wilson named commission,
headed by Secretary of Labor Wilson
and representing both employers and
employees, to act as his personal rep
resentatives in allaying labor troubles
during the war. The strike in the San
Francisco shipyards was ended Sep
tember &c through the efforts of the
government mediators.
Leaders of organized labor in the
United States took decided stand
throughout the year in support of the
government preparations for war and
against antiwar propaganda. At the
annual meeting of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in Buffalo in Novem-
Der, union labor pledged its solid sup
port to the government in the prosecu-
iion of the war
The railroads Of the country faced
another crisis during the closing
months of the year when demands
were made by the four bro.herhoods
for wage increases averaging 40 per
cent, affecting, directly and indirectly,
approximately 100000 railroad en-
ployees.
Labor troubles of the year were
closely allied with economic develop
mcnts, growing out of the increased
cost Of living in the United States. In
order to prevent further increases in
prices government regulation Of many
Industries was undertaken as war
