MUCH TIME LOST
? IN AMERICAN WAR INDUSTRIES. DESPITE PLEDGES AGAINST STRIKES. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.15 p.m.) NEW YORK, July 22. “Notwithstanding the no strike pledges given by national labour leaders after Pearl Harbour, strikes have cost nearly a million man days’ work in war; industries since January,” says the “New York World Telegram.” “Admittedly strikes are far fewer than a year ago, but there has been a rising tide of labour stoppages, costing time lost for ever to munitions making. Up to July, the strike trend had been upward in every month except May. Government officials say an important factor \ in causing strikes has been the hotheadedness of local union leaders, who fail to consult headquarters before calling a strike. Another factor is the difficulty of adjusting employer-em- ■ ployee relationships in converted industries.
