Rubber Strikes
Blamed For Bio
Working Loss

As a result of the two big rub
Der strikes last month, the highest
time loss due to work stoppages in
any month in almost two years
was recorded in August, d report
by state Industrial Relations Di-
rector Margaret A. Mahoney re-
vealed today. 10
There were 491 900 man-days of
time lost in 80 strikes which in
volved 34,400 workers, the report
showed, The lost time amounted
to an hour and % minutes for
every Ohio worker. Though July
was high, August topped it by
over one-fourth.
Although the number of strikes
was about half that recorded in
August of last year. the time loss
was almost four times as much,
Primary reason was the size and
length of the strikes in Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Co. plants in Akron
and st. Marys and in the Fire
stone Tire & Rubber Co. plant a
plants in Akron. as#
The Goodyear strike, which be-
gan in July, lasted 29 days of Au-
gust and idled $1,000 workers. The
Firestone strike began on Aug. 13
and continued into September, fin
ally ending on the sixth. It idled
5000 workers. The two together
caused 81 percent of the 491 900
man-days of loss in the state.
AS a result of these strikes, Ak
ron had about 6-12 times as much
idlenesS in August as the other
seven major Ohio metropolitan
areas combined. Akron lost $780,
OOO man-days, or almost 10 per-
cent of potential Akron working
time. ~ g.h II
Second largest amount of time
loss occurred in Cleveland-17, 900
man-days. Toledos slate was clean
with no strikes recorded during
the month.
Following Cleveland, the metro
politan areas in order were: Gin
cinnati 2O,200 mand-days; Column
bus, $500 man-days; Youngstown,
9oOO man-days; and Canton, ], 100
man-days.
