 For all of last year the total was 38, OPS, ,000. Earlier peaks were 25,- 425.000 in 1887: 26,219,000 in 1927 and 23.048, 900 in 1941
 The Bureau of Labor Statistics. which compiled the figures, said the number of strikes and lockouts for the first nine months of this year totaled 3,575, compared with 3,784 for all Of 1945
 The reascn Tor the biz jump in man days lost officials said, is that postwar strikes have been bitter and for keeps, hence extended for longer periods. During the war walkouts generally were small, spontaneous and quickly settled.
 BIS didn't begin keeping it's pre- sent type of strike statistics until 1927, so no comparison is possible between the postwar year l946 and the postwar year 1919 on the basis of man days or work lost
 However, in 1919, BIS says there were 4,160000 workers involved in strikes. The figure this year may surpass that mark because for the first nine months of 1o46 the total involved was 3,8O5,0O0

NO DEPORTATION AT PRESENT FOR
 4S EST0NIANS

MIAMI, Fla, Nov. 2-The At toIney General of the United States assumed authority over AS Estonian refugees who sailed 6,001 miles from Sweden to Miami in small boats and representative he sent here said today the group will not be deported until another order is given by the Attorney Generals office.
 Thomas E. Shoemaker, Deputy Commissioner of Immigration, sent here by Attorney General Tom Clark after President Truman per- sonally expressed concern over the Estonians, said the refugee group will remain under the supervision of the Immigration Department.
 The next order regarding their stay in the country, however, will come direct from the Attorney General, he reported.
 We are not going to take snap judgment from the standpoint of law. government and the people involved" said Shoemaker in a verbal statement.
 These Estonians are not of a criminal nature. but they entered the country without visas. They will be given mature consideration in every shape and form
 It appeared that the three little bands of Europeans who fled their homeland when the Germans in- vaded and refused to go back af- ter Russia occupied the country were about to win their plea for "one last chance" to enter the United States.
