HIT MILLIONS
Total of $500, 600 Work
ers Affected By Strikes
During Year.
(By United Pras.)

Washington. July 17.-About g.
100000 workers were affected by
labor controversies. strikes and
lockouts in the United States dur
ing the governments fiscal year
which ended June 30, it was esti-
mated unofhcially here today on
the basis Of reports now being pre-
pared for Director Hugh Kerwin of
the conciliation bureau. department
Of labor.
The reports when completed will
show that the bureau was asked to
mediate in q total of 800 cases. in
volving approximately 1,055, 900
workers, Kerwin believes, or about
half the number involved during
the fiscal year ending June 30,
1919.
The estimate for 1920 indicates
that workers lost roughly $175,O ,O00.-
600 in wages, assuming an average
wage of IS and a total of 10 days
lost for each. Strikes which do
not continue at least 10 days are
rare, government reports show.
The loss to employers would be
about $700, 1000, 900 in value of pro-
duction curtailed If wages repre-
sent one-Quarter of the value Of
product.
Strike Costs Millions Daily.
The steel strike alone is estimat'
ed to have cost the workers ap.
proximately $4,000, 900 a day in los,
wages. Wage losses of the OUTLAW
railroad strikers are believed t
total nearly as much as those o
the steel strikers.
Strikes are not breaking out u
fast as q year ago." said Kerwin
"but they're much harder to settl
now than formerly. 1t seems n

Can the soul die in the seemingly

greater danger than this antithesis.
