ECONOMIC HIGHLICHTS
Happenings That Affect the Dinner Pals, Dividend
Checks and Tax Bills Of Every Individual: Ma
tional and international Problems Insep-
arabic From Local Welfare

Since last November there has
been a larger monthly average to-
tai Of strikes than at any other
period in the country's history
with the exception Of 1917 !, says
the United States News. From
November through May, exactly
1923 strikes have occurred. They
have struck 46 of the 4s states
North Dakota and New Mexico
being the exceptions. As is to be
expected, they have been most
numerous in sections of the coun-
try where industrial development
is highest Michigan, New York,
New England. California. They
have been least numerous in the
agricultural states Iowa, Kansas,
Nebraska, etc.
Even so, there is nothing unique
in the aumber Of strikes that have
occurred in recent months--the
World War years provide num-
erical parallel. However, as the
U. S. News also points out, there
is vast and fundamental differ
enee in the demands the strikers
ara making to-day as compared to
those they made in 1917.
In practically all pre-depression
strikes, labor demanded higher
wages andlor shorter working
weeks. The closed shop was rare
Il vital issue. Today the pri-
mary demand Of strikers IS the
closed shop. In many Instances.
union demands FOR higher wages
and shorter work weeks have been
met By industry but strikes have
continued, because employers re-
fused to grant the closed shop.
This Is obviously a vital change
IN labor's attitude. Furthermore.
it has been accompanied by the
entry Of labor into politics on an
unprecedented scale. The A. F.

eral and radical publications that
slice with labor, feel that direct
action is essential, and that such
strategy as the sit-down strikes
end the demand for 100 percent
closed shop, where no non-union
man may work, is necessary Il la
Dor is to receive its fair share of
industry's earnings.
One thing is rtain-labor IS
more powerful today than evar ii
the past. In the nineteen years
ending in 1882, less than 80 per-
cent of strikes ended with labor
winning its demands. Last year,
more than 40 percent of strikes
eliminated in unequivocal vic
tories for the strikers, while in SO
percent more, labor received part
of its demands.
As every student of history
knows, recovery from a depres-
sion breeds strikes. This was trna
after the depressions Of 1884
1891, 1907, etc. However, today
the issues are deeper and differ
ent, and present strikes cannot
be accurately compared with those
