TRADE UNIONS LOSE 1,331,5O0
MEMBERS IN LAST THREE YAERS

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S The total
membership of trade unions in the
United States increased from AZ.
900 in 1897 to 3,779,O00 In 1929,
according to advance figures taken
from report to be issued early
in December by the National Blu.
reau of Economic Research. Inc, Of
this city, under the title "The
Growth OF American Trade Unions,
1SS0-1923"
The largest membership record
ed in one year was in 1920, when
5.110,500 were enrolled in trade nn-
ions. The membership in 1921 was
4,S13.400; and In 1922, 4,05S 400.
The findings in this report. which
required two years for its prepara
tons. have been approved by the
board of directors of the bureau.
Summarizins the tables in the
formal report, statement author
lied by the bureau reads in part
as follows:
During roughly the last hall
century the membership in Ameri
can trade unions has twice reached
striking peaks, from which it has
later descended. The first peak
was achieved in 1887 when mem
bership rose TO about 100000 and
the second in 1920 when it ex-
ceeded 5.000,000. In each case the
labor movement failed to hold its
maximum numbers.
after 1887 the losses were so
great that membership in the early
nineties was probably only a couple
of hundred thousand. and since
1920 the unions have lost more than
one and quarter millions.
Two Situations Presented
"The two situations are not, how
ever. analogous. The labor move
ment of the eighties was labor

itself: 1t was torn by internal con
flict, and 1t was engaged in finding
the form and methods of effective

and the realization OF some con
census OF opinion regarding pro
gram of development left the move

but sfarted on new career. There
after the rise in members has been
almost continuous and has always
been large.
