Somehow Robert had expected this,
but her refusal did not make him any

rocked Jerry back and forth.

standing by her humble friends.
"And you love me too, don't you.

HOW MUCH DO STRIKES COST
THE NATION7
Curious Figures Based on Department
Of Labor Statistics,

Curious Figures Based on Department
Of Labor Statistics.
Washington, July 6.-Statistics Is
sued by the Department Of Labor show
that strikes in this country average
more than 1900 per year. 1t Is not
contended by the department that its
figures are accurate, since they de-
pend upon newspaper and trade paper
reports for the most part, but that
they are under. rather than Overstate-
ments.
It Is impossible truthfully to esti-
mate the average cost of strike. since
they vary so in duration. number OF
workmen affected and economic loss
through whatever industry is wholly
or partially shut down. But II the
most conservative possible estimate be
adopted, and it Is considered that the
average strike affects 100 wOrkmen,
and that the average strike lasts ten
days, the total arrived at Is $500, 900
working days lost per year. II the
average cost to each workman Is IS
per day and the average loss to each
industry does not exceed three times
the loss to the workmen. then strikes
cost this country some S66.ONO,OOO a
year.
1t is not believed that these figures
are anything but suggestive. The
average strike undoubtedly affects
thousands, rather than hundreds, and
for many more than ten days.
