WASHINGTON, July 17.-Approxi
mately 100000 workers were affected
by labor controversies, strikes and
lockouts in the United States during
the governments fiscal year, which
ended June 80, it was estimated un.
officially here today on the basis of
reports now being prepared for Direc-
tor Hugh Kerwin, of the concilption
bureau, department of labor.
The reports. when completed, will
show that the bureau was asked to
mediate in total of 800 cases, in
volving approximately 1,055,OOO work
ers, Kerwin believes, or about half
the number involved during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1919.
The estimate for 1920 indicates that
workers lost roughly s175,000,000 in
wages assuming an average wage of
SIS and total of ten days lost for
each Strikes, which do not contin-
ue at least ten days are rare, goyen-
ment reports show.
The loss to employers would be
about $700,000,000 in value of produc-
tion curtailed if wages represent one
quarter of the value of the product.
The steel strike alone is estimated
to have cost the workers approx
,mately s3,000,000 a day in lost wages
Wage losses of the outlaw railroad
strikers are believed to total nearly
as much as those of the steel strikers
Strikes are not breaking out as a
year ago." said Kerwin, "but they're
much harder to settle now than for
merly. It seems as if workers now
wait to make sure they have what
they consider a perfect grievance be-
fore beginning a strike. But once
out they seem determined to stay out
until they win.
Both employers and workers, how
ever, now seem more willing to ask
this bureau for assistance than for
merly."

welcome Of Cox expected to have sew
eral thousand persons out for the
demonstration.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Cox's run
ming mate. will greet the governor
in the presidential suite at the union
station here at p. m. and ride with
him to the Ansberry home.
