STRIKE LOSSES ARE GUESSES;
FIGURES NOT BASED ON FACTS

Washington, Feb. 5.-An approx
mate cost of strikes can not be estl-
mated, except in isolated instances
says Edison l.. Whitney, writing in
the Monthly Labor Review, issued
by the United States bureau of la
Dor statistics.
The writer discounts claims by
those who estimate the cost of
strikes down to the last dollar. He
says it is impossible to estimate the
loss and that figures issued on this
subject "are but mere guesses by
the compiler, not statistical in char
acter and frequently incorrect in
their conclusions"
Despite the machinery established
by the bureau of labor statistics and
the various states complete infor-
nation of every strike can not be
obtained, nor is it possible to say
that the information is correct in
every particular, especially since
statements of employers and EN-
ployes are frequently greatly at
variance. The recent steel strike
illustrates this point. On the first
day of the strike, says Mr.. Whitney,
the union officials announced that
10000 men were idle; the next day
the number was given as $4,000;
two days later as 100000, and on
October 81 as 10000. On the other
hand the employers denied that over
40 per cent of the above number
actually went out. On October IL
the Inland Steel Company, at In
diana Harbor, announced that 5000
of their employees had returned to
work, while the union officials
claimed the number was $50. On
October 81 the Indiana Steel Com
pany at Gary, Indiana, stated that
their mill was operating, while the
union officials said that the strikers
were standing firm.
1t is shown by these figures that
the steel strike resulted in loss
of 100000 man-days or 4O,OO0,O0O
man-days, according to ones view
point. From the standpoint of sta
tistics, however, the figures mean
nothing.
The loss resulting from strikes is
largely mythical, according to the
writer, who says:
Most industries are seasonal to
a certain extent and when, after a
short strike, the men return invig
grated and rested as a result of
their vacation, they will, in the
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1921-02-11

course of the season, do as much
work as they would have done hac
no strike occurred" Instances II
the steel industry are cited to prove
this point 1t is also stated that 9
miners strike does not necessarily
reduce the amount of yearly wages
received, as at may divide the slack
season into two parts, and IN estl-
mating their loss in wages this con-
dition should be borne in mind"
In discussing strike losses by EN-
ployers, Mr.. Whitney says very
few who estimate this loss explain
their method of figuring"
Except in very long-continued
strikes, however, it seems to be linn
tied mainly to the loss in profits
something very difficult to figure
for profits are elustive and may dis
appear even in the absence of a
strike, since they are generally de-
pendent upon market conditions at
the time of the sale, rather than at
the time of manufacture.
Temporary losses in one estab-
lishment are often offset by tempo
rary gains later as where shop is
closed for a time by strike of its
employees and a neighbor shop gets
its business during the time, and
then later the first shop profits SIM
ilarly by a strike at the second
shop.
an only rare instances does the
public, the innocent third party, suf-
fer money loss. 1t suffers in in
convenience mainly.
Rarely is there any loss of time
to employees in related industries
Manufacturing establishments dc
not live from hand to mouth. They
keep enough raw material on hand
for most emergencies and their fin
ished product is rarely oversold.
"In the recent coal strike what
little inconvenience was suffered
was due to fear that there might be
a shortage of coal, rather than be-
cause any such actual shortage ex-
listed, and the few establishments
that were closed because of the
strike undoubtedly soon made up fol
lost time, if the slack season in
that industry was not at hand.
while it may be possible to get
at the cost of a few small strikes
it does not seem that figures pur.
porting to represent the cost Of
strikes in money have any value
whatever"

IN MOONEY CASE
Another Perjured Witness For
State COnfesses.

Associated Press and United Press
kilograms of last Tuesday, gave
news of the confession of a third
perjurer, a witness against Thomas
j. Mooney and Warren X. Billings.
We give the A. p. kilograms in full
with excerpts from the U. P. story.
ASSOCIATED Press)
New York, Feb. 8.-Frank P. Walsh
of special counsel for Thomas j.
Mooney, convicted of murder in San
Francisco in connection with the
preparedness day bomb explosion in
1916, early today telegraphed San
Francisco authorities apprising them
of an alleged confession by one of
the witnesses in the case that he
had given perjured testimony at the
trial.
The witness named by Mr.. Walsh
was John Mcdonald, now a resident
of Trenton, N. j., with whom Mr.
Walsh had a long conference last
night. According to Mr.. Walsh, Nc
Donald declared in an affidavit COW
ering 13 typewriter pages, that the
case against Mooney was a frame
up"
"McDonald swore in his confess
sion," Mr.. Walsh said, that he
could not indemnity Mooney as the
man he had seen with a suitcase
prior to the preparedness day explo-
sion, although he Unidentified Mooney
during the trial. He said District
Attorney Fickert, the San Francisco
prosecutor, had forced him to make
the identification.
Mr.. Walsh quoted Mcdonald as
saying he stood in Stuart street in
| San Francisco at about l o'clock on
the afternoon of July %, 1916. He
said he saw man set suitcase
on the sidewalk then, accompanied
by another man who came from a
saloon, walked away.
| Mcdonald is alleged to have fur
| Their said that he walked away and
in short time heard an explosion.
He thought it part of the pre-
pardness day celebration. Next day
he met a policeman and told him
what he had seen, but asserted he
could not identify the man.
He was induced, Mr.. Walsh quot
ed further, to go to police headquar
tiers, where he was questioned by
District Attorney Fickert and Cap
tain Matheson, and told them he did
not know Mooney, who was sus-
| pected.
He subsequently was taken to
Moneys cell and to that occupied
by Billings, another defendant He
asserted. according to Mr. Walsh,
that Fickert remarked: "These are
the men you saw
Further, Mcdonald is alleged to
have stated he was coached with
other witnesses in testimony to be
given. He asserted he fixed the
time q seeing the suitcase dropped

/ .he Mooney trial, he stated, at the
/ instance q Assistant District At
to~-sy Edward Cunha "he changed

I dreak MONEYS alibi."
Nine persons were killed in the
explosion. Mooney was sentenced
. death and Billings to life i'm

the sentence had failed, President
Wilson interceded in Moneys be-
half and Governor Stephens COM
muted the sentence to life imprison-
ment.

Mike Marcinak
Murdered By
Red Raiders

Mrs Marcinak, Of Newark, n. j.,
has brought suit against Attorney
General Palmer and immigration
Commissioner Caminetti for $3.50, 600
for causing the death Of her hus-
band, an eX-service man with a good
record. Marcinak died from in
human treatment by Palmer's secret
service men.
Mrs. Marcinak, widow of Mike
Marcinak, tells in the complaint OF
how, while she was working on a
night shift in q factory, her hus-
band was dragged by Palmer's men
from his bed, taken from their
house in Newark, ~ j., in a bitter
winter night, without sufficient
clothing, and so mistreated and ne
elected by his jailers that he died
Of pneumonia in prison within three
weeks Of his arrest
Typical Of many of the "red
raids" Palmer's heroes made short
work Of the two small children,
aged 2 and 3 years, whom they awoke
from their sleep when the father
was seized at l o'clock in the morn
| ing. They simply handed these ba-
bies over to neighbors. The father
was refused permission, when locked
IN the police station, to send word
to his family or to a lawyer. When
ne was dying, Mrs. Marcinak de-
clares in her sworn statement, She
was denied permission to see him
He had been transferred to Eli,
Island by Caminettis men before h,
died. '
As though to mock the complac
ency of "anti-revolutionary" pro
ceedings of American Legion con
ventions, Mrs. Marcinak offers a
evidence in her suit a copy of he
late husbands clear record with tn
/ American Expeditionary Force, wit
the statement that he was seizet

brought to his death, without leg;
warrant, upon mere suspicion or r.
port that he had Communist syn
pathies.

According to Walsh, Mcdonald
made affidavit that he was not able
to identify Mooney and that he did
so in his testimony at the trial only
at the instance of District Attor-
ney Fickert of San Francisco.
McDonald's affidavit, Walsh said,
was telegraphed to San Francisco
where a special grand jury is in
vestigating the Mooney case Moo
ney was convicted of murder-nine
persons were killed when a bomb
was exploded during preparedness
day parade in 1916 and was SEN
fenced to die. President Wilson in
terceded in his behalf and the SEN
tence was committed to life i'm
prisonment. Warren K Billings also
is serving life term for implica-
ton in the explosion. McDonalds
statement says that his Identified
ton Of Billings also was false.
Mcdonald told Wash, it is said,
that he was promised a share in
the $17,500 reward offered for the
dynamiters, in exchange for his tes-
timony. After the trial, he said,
ne tried to collect but has never been
able to get the money He alleged
that the case against Mooney was
"frameup" and that many of the
witnesses were instructed as to what
they should say on the stand.
The testimony of John Mcdonald
in the trial of Thomas Mooney was
Of major importance in that it con-
sisted Of Moneys identification.
McDonald's statement follows one
recently given by Detective Draper
Hand to Mayor Rolph in which
Hand was alleged to have said that
he himself was instrumental in
framing" certain parts Of the case
against Mooney.
A grand jury investigation of
these statements has been started,
having only reached a Erelimary
stage as yet, according to the dis
trict attorneys office.
District Attorney Mathew Brady
publicly annunced recently that if
the evidence tends to establish that
the MooneY case was framed" he
will ask for new trial for Mooney
Immediately.
San Francisco, Feb. 8.-The re-
ported statement of John Mcdonald,
of Trenton, N. j., that the convic-
ton of Thomas j, Mooney and War
rem K. Billings, against whom he
testified, was frame up" marks
the third recent statement of alleged
facts tending to show that these
men were the victims of periured
testimony. The new evidence,
aduced here, is to be presented to
the county grand jury.
McDonald's reported statement
was characterized as the EFFECT of
corrupt propaganda" by Edward A
Huhha, who as assistant district at.
torney prosecuted Mooney. Defense
counsel said it was a natural ont
