CaDitaI And Labor.

A review of labor conditions dur
ing 1919 issued by the department
of labor, although indicating a con-
tinuance of strikes and lockouts that
have proved costly to the country
goes to show that gradually but sure
" a better understanding between
capital and labor is being reached
Strikes and lockouts in 1919 in
the United States numbered 1874,
in which more than 100000 work
men were affected. Naturally, the
greater part of these labor disturb
ances would be found in the more
populous states, and ii is not sur
prising that approximately one-nalf
of them occurred in five states-New
York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Illinois.
The totals of labor troubles last
year and the year before were prac-
Itically the same, but the total for 49,
I19 was substantially under that of
1915 and 1917. The figures show,
however, that in 1918 no strike in
volved so many as 10000 workers,
while last year there were number
of walkouts that interrupted the la
Dor of more than 10000 workmen.
These chiefly were in the textile in
dustries. One phase of the report
that is of special interest is the fact
that during last year there was prac-
tically a complete absence of violence
in labor controversies, and the de-
partment attributes this to the less
frequent use of strike-breakers. 1t
will be a happy day for labor and
capital when strike-breakers cease to
exist and recourse is had entirely to
conferences between the interested
parties, where appeals may be made
to reason, and differences of opinion
adjusted in the light of submitted
| facts. Washington Post.
