OF the more than $4,000 strikes in
the nine-year period that ended De.
cember 3d. last, more than $4,000 were
in seven states-New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Massachusetts, Illinois, Ohio,
New Jersey and Connecticut. Before
the new year the total for these seven
industrial commemorative is expected
to be well beyond the $4,000 mark
More than 60 per cent OF all the
strikes of the last ten years have
taken place in the states that lie north
of the Ohio and east Of the MISSISSIPPI
pi, about 10 per cent Of them in terri
tory to the south of the Ohio and east
of the Mississippi and the rest in the
west.
The table that follows, which covers
the 1914-1922 period, shows the num-
Der of strikes and a conservative esti-
mate Of the number of persons. The
figures for 1922 are to a certain extent
speculative, contingent on what hap
pens in the five remaining months OF
the present year: r.
the end Of this year is expected to
exceed $4,000. The number Of per-
sons involved probably will be in tho
neighborhood Of 100000. rs IS
impressed with the great amount Of
time lost during the strike, would
place the figure nearer 10000, 900, and
1t would be difficult to prove that
either Of these estimates was false

Last Decade Exceeds Record of
Previous rs Years.
MANY MILLIONS ARE INVOLV
Records OF the Bureau Of Labor Show
That in the Ten-Year Period There
Have Been Approximately 10000
Industrial Disturbances Involving
More Than 1900, 900 Men and
Women-Most of Strikes Have Gen.
tered in Seven States

IN the decade ending at midnight on
December 81 next it is estimated that
the number of strikes and lockouts
that disturbed industrial America for
that period will have exceeded more
than 10000 OF 1000 more than took
place in the quarter of century from
1881 to 1906, inclusive. These indus.
trial disturbances, which have meant
suffering and hardship not only for
the participants but also for the pub
lie, have involved millions of men and
women The loss in wages, if avail
able, would total a staggering sum,
and the price paid by industry, If it
could be measured in dollars would
approximate the war debt of a first
class power.
Statistics on file in the Department
Of Labor in Washington show that be-
tween January 1, 1913, and December
81, last, the number of strikes and
lOckouts was about 23,1OO and by the
end of the year the number will have
passed 10000. For the years under
consideration the bureau Of labor has
record by months, industries and 10
calities. The records for the period
of 1905 to 1912, inclusive, are not
available. When it Is necessary to
compare present and past conditions
the quarter of a century period Of
1881 to 1905, inclusive, will be used,
the official records for those 25 years
being fairly complete.
In the 25 years prior to and includ-
ing 1906 the total number Of strikes
and lockouts was 25,353 and the num-
Der of persons involved about 6715,-
600. These totals lose significance
when compared with the record OF the
last ten years with 4 total which by

IL is certain rnat wage losses from
strikes In the last ten years would
mount into billions of dollars, but II
| is impossible to give anything ap
preaching an accurate estimate unless
the time books Of every concern af
fected Ia every part of the country
were available.
Again, take the 1919 steel strike.
! The wage losses caused by that battle
between capital and labor have been
variously estimated at from less than
$3O,OOO,OOO to $250OOO,OOO. That was
| just one 1919 strike. There were six
| others involving upward Of 100000
| persons. 1t is not difficult to visualize
the size Of the job necessary to &C
curately estimate the wage losses OF
that year and the same problem arises
when the question of the losses of en-
pIoyerS is under debate.
Another interesting phase of the
problem is that thousands Of strikes
are nonunion. In 1916, out Of 1851
strikes, AL involved workers who
were not members of trade unions.
In 8O6 others the union utilization Of
the strikes was matter still in doubt.
In 1921 nonunion strikes probably ex-
ceeded 300 Of the total, and it is the
same story, and generally in proper
ton, for all the other years that are
of record.
New York Leads.
Among the cities New York heads
the list with 2,196 for six years, or an
average of 366 year. There were
494 reported in 1917 and by a coinci-
dence the number was the same in
1918. In 1916 the total reported was
1853, in 1919 it was $40, in 1920 it was
315, and in 1921-this record is not
yet cOmplete-18O.
Chicago follows New York, but the
total for the six years is only 619, or
an average of about 1O4 a year. In
Philadelphia the total for this period
was 400; Boston, 4O7; Cleveland, 287
st. Louis, 286; Newark, PIP; Balti
more, POL; Cincinnati, 173; San Fran
cisco, 40; Providence, 1855; Detroit,
III; Seattle, 1853; Pittsburgh, 1853;
Rochester, 155, and New Orleans 142.
Cities in which the totals for the
six-year period were less than $50 and
more than 25 were Bridgeport, Den
yer, Jersey City, Holyoke, Lynn, Mil
waukee, Paterson Springfield, Mass. ;
Toledo Trenton, WilIes-Barre and
Youngstown.
The largest number of strikes called !
during this period affected the build |
ing trades, more than 2,7OO having
been called by the building trades
unions. The metal trades unions ac-
for more than 1890; the cloth |
ing industry labor organizations for |
?, 900; the miners for about ], 400; the
textile unions for another 1850 steam |
and electric transportation for more
than 1900, and strikes called by the I
paper manufacturing, tobacco, furni-
.ure, iron and steel workers and lum-
Der unions were in all instances less
han 500 and more than 100.
The reports of the Labor depart
nent for the month of July estimated
hat there were then approximately
800 600 men out of work as q result
II the strike Of railway shopmen, min
RS and textile workers.

Watch the Eye.

In discussion OF the second CUES
ton, it may be pointed out that only
those birds should be kept for layers
or breeders that show good strong
constitutions, able to stand the
strain of heavy egg production
They should show nice depth OF
body, Us well as length, and should
present good breadth of back
Another part that will come in for
consideration is the eyes. The eyes
should show full and clear in clean
cut head. 1t must he borne in mind
that only those birds that are strong
can produce eggs regularly under the
strain Of severe winter.
Grade the Flock
II may be said for the third ques-
ton that all birds that show any
physical defects whatsoever should
be graded from the flock. Sick
chickens are not paying ones and
the quicker we grade them out the
better Crooked backs, scalcy legs,
crooked beaks. abdomen laying low
are some good examples of physical
defects to look out for. II does not
require an expert to see some of
these things and that farmer will
profit who gives some OF his atten-
ton to the home flock on rainy days
instead of going oil to the store to
discuss the fall elections.
Ask Powell
AS to the last question it seems
ms though any one could tell whether
n hen is laying or mott As matter
of fact il requires some experience
to be able to decide this, aud when
we apply the test to our home ilockS
some astonishing results are obtain
ed. 1t is not proposed to 20 into "a
technical discussion of the points
involved in applying this test. Suf-
flee to say at present that Indications
of non-layer are found in the APP
pearancc of the feather, eyes, legs
and finally the condition of the comb
and pelvic arches. The writer of this
article would be very glad to come
into contact with any one who IS
DESTROYS of raising better poultry
and will give free culling demons,ra-
tons anywhere in the county upon
proper notice.

Probably every farmer and poul-
try raiser knows or ut least should
know, that now is good time to rid
the home flock of drift wood and
start the new year right by having
flock of hens that will lay as well
MS eat. To have maximum pro-
duction of eggs during the winter
months there should be careful
grading of the fowls during the
months of September and October.
Non-Lay-rs
To those who have never cullcd
out the non-layers the following
questions and discussions should be
of particular interest While it is
not meant to go into detailed dis
cussions of the points in question,
n few of the following suggestions
will be of interest in very practical
way to the poultry raiser or house
wife who wishes to give them any
attention:
/. What relationship is there be-
tween the moult of the hen and the
egg production?
2. What should keep for layer
or breeder?
3. What shall Gull out of my
Aock7
i. How can I tell whether u hen
is laying or not?
Early and Late Moultcrs
Taking the questions up in order
for brief discussion, it may be said
that the moulting of the hen will
increase or decrease her egg laying
period ms the case may be. The
early moultinE hen is unusually a
very slow moultcr and takes about
all summer i'll getting her new fcath-
ers. Ia this manner IL will Ice seen
that her period for egg production
will be shortened very considerably.
The late mouitcr or the hen that
mouths during the months Of Septem-
Der and October has had time to fill
out successful year If properly
handled. This is not saying that the
bird that mouths early is not Il good
layerl There are several factors to
be considered. The kind and amount
OF feed will effect the moulting pc
Rod very considerably. The period
OF moulting may also vary with the
different breeds.

THE DREAMER

The road lay straight before him,

And the scarlet peoples called him
to the forests cool and dim.
And the song birds happy chorus
seemed to lure him further on,
Twas IL day of wondrous pleasure
but ihc day was quickly gone.

the purling of brook
Any more than gray old sagcs can
resist some dusty hook.
And though stern faced duty bade
him march the highway straight
ahead,
"rhc trees are better company than
busy men, he said
We wondered at his dreaming and
his wanderings far astray.
But We We're counting values by the
gold and silver way,
And sometimes ms | saw him gazing
idly at the sky,

Which the gold and glory seeker pas

Which is just as good as money tC
