Therp lust as many days lost in the eight legal

OF course. in this reference is only made TO the

as Che Individual IS concerned, he would prefer a hoh'
day to Illness, although the latter may not be SO eX-
nensive in dollars and cents. Furthermore. there Is nc
accounting for the loss to industry that generally
accrues from a let down IN production on ue uAS
following a holiday
This penchant of the statisticians, of multiplying
vares by the number of days lost. thus landing them
nv IN the millions their favorite perch, is INDUCED in
more generally when dealing with the subject OF
strkes and lockouts. For instance, a very able pub
licist declared recently that in one state alone in 1870
there was a loss due to strikes of over 1o,oo0,o0o
working days
It sounds disturbing but IN that case. the same a
in the case of illness, when compared with the loss
due to legal holidays, the matter was not alarming
in fact, only one-fourth as alarming, because any two
of the eight legal holidays furnish as many days OF
unemployment as all the strikes.
In other words, there are 5000, 900 wage-earners
in the state referred to. which number multiplied by
eight holidays shows that 100000 days are lost to
industry through holidays as against 100000 los
through strikes and lockouts.
Whether figures lie or the gentlemen who MAXI
