71 PC. Of Strike Losses Caused
 By Independents
Only II Per Cent Due To A.F.L. Workers, Says U S Labor Department Report -Jursdctional Strikes
 Almost Completely Eliminated

Members of the American Feder atiOn of Labor have lived up tC their nO-strike pledge better than any other comparable group Ot workers in the country, according to an official report just made pub lie by the Department of Labor.
 This report shows that while the AFL comprises more than half of the organized workers in the nation, its members accounted for only II per cent of the total man-days lost due to strikes during 1o43. Only 20 per cent of the total number of strikers were AFL workers.
 By contrast, the CIO with a ia, smaller membership, had A pc, cent of the total number of strik. CTS and they accounted for l6 pel cent of the man-days lost.
 But the most significant item ir the report revealed that unions moi affiliated with either the AFL or the CIO were responsible for 71 per cent of the total idleness from strikes ir 1043.
 The chief reason for this fact was the disastrous coal strike con ducted by the United Mine Work. CTS Union, which constituted the one big blot on labor's war record during the year.
 Analysis of the figures released by the Labor Department reveals the ef- fective work done by leaders of botH AFL and CIO unions in haltine strikes once they started.
 Although the number of strikes by affiliates was prOportionately large, the time lost was almost inf. intestinal because through the eff. forts of union leaders living up to the no-strike pledge the men were persuaded to go back to work in a day or two in most cases.
 The nation did not receive similar cooperation from leaders of "inde- pendent" unahiliated unions who, in several instances, openly fouted the no-strike pledge and ordered workers to remain off the job.
 One of the best records in l943 was made by the railroad brother. hoods, most of which are AFL affiliates. They engaged in only seven strikes and accounted for only One-tenth of the total workers involved in strikes.
 Another interesting feature of the report shows that jurisdictional strikes have almost disappeared in wartime. A few AFL-CIO disputes cropped Up to interfere with produc- tion, but strikes caused by jurisdic- tlonal troubles between two AFL af- flliates were virtually non-existent.
 Wages were the issue at stake in more than half the strikes-1,oO6 out ot 3,734-the tabulation disclosed.
The union times., 1944-07-22

Most of the wage strikes were de- mands for increased rates. Many were protests against adjustments of time or piece rates which workers felt would result in lower earnings; others were strikes over application of over time rates, incentive systems, etc.
 More than One-fourth of the total strikes resulted from disputes over working conditions and company policies, such as seniority, discipli- nary methods, racial questions, su- pervision or work loads. About l5.7 per cent - or 585. strikes-arose from questions concerning union organization = including recogni- tion as bargaining agent, strength ening of bargaining position, and closed or union shop recognition. Considerably more than half of the strikes involving union organization also concerned wage and hour issues.

 The members of the union voted to return to the AFL fold in a recent referendum election. President-elect Randolph, of the ITU, notified AFL Secretary-Treasurer George Meany that 60 days must elapse before the union can act on the result of the referendum.
