In that time few more than 500 cases of strikes and threatened strikes and lockouts have been acted upon by department officials. Three hundred and forty-iive cases were satisfactor- fly adjusted by the commissioners of conciliation, 50 were adjusted by the commissioners of conciliation in CO., operation with local officials and agencies and 3o cases were pending or in the process of adjustment. The period of industrial readjustment through which the country has been passing made the settlement of in- dustrial disputes more difficult. but despite that fact nearly 90 per cent of the controversies in which the de- partment used its good offices were equitably and satisfactorily adjusted. Without doubt these settlements did much to aid in the stabilizing of the generally disturbed industrial situat- loon. Nearly million and half workers were involved in the disputes under consideration." ,sgglsi- ..s
