U.S. STRIKE TREND
Increase In Spite Of Labour Leaders' Promises HEAVY LOSS OF WORK HOURS Rec. 11.30 a.m. NEW YORK, July 22. Notwithstanding the no-strike pledges given by the national Labour leaders after Pearl Harbour, strikes have cost nearly 1,000,000 man-days of work in war industries since January 1 says the World-Telegraph. Admittedly strikes have been far fewer than a year ago, but there has been a rising tide of labour stoppages posting time lost forever in munitions making. Up to July the strike trend has been upward every month, except during May. Government officials say that strike trouble is chiefly due to two factors. Firstly, employers are bearing down because they think that they can get away with it under the national no-strike declaration. Secondly, there is the hot-headedness of local union leaders, who fail to consult headquarters before calling & strike. Another fr»ctor is the difficulty of adjusting employer and employee relationships in converted industries.
