Twenty Years of Labor Strikes in America

The report of Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor for the United States, shows, says the Christian Endeavor World, that in the last twenty years this country has had more than twenty-two thousand labor strikes. The largest number in any one year was 1,799, in the year 1900. The loss from strikes in twenty years is estimated at $257,000,000 for wages, and $122,000,000 for employers.
