THE LABOR QUESTION, In the 20 years endiug with 1900 Carroll D. Wright United States Commissioner of labor i the 16 Annual Report in writing of the time lost by strikers gives the number of days lost by wage earners at 2,789,160, which reduced amouuts to 7,641.6 years, -fie alto gives the wage loss of employes by lost time by reason of strikes during tne 20 years under review at 1357,863 478, during which time other labor organizations than those direotly engaged in the strike assested the strikers to (he amount of $16,174,793. anbTthe loss to the employers by reason of the strikes therein for the 20 yeais amounted to 1122,731,121, tusking the total leasers for the period foot up " $895,769,392 obargable to strikes. The num ber of persons who lost time by reason of strikes for the 20 years from 1881 to end of 1900 were 6,105,694 , and their average loss was $42 to each wage earner engaged. ? . 7 The losses from lockouts for the 20 years ending with 1900 was not as great as from strikes, being $48,819,745 as the wage loss of employees, $3,451,461 assistance to employees by labor organizations aud $19,927,983 loss of employers; making an aSgregcte loss from lockouts foi the 20 years of $72,399,199. By adding the losses from strikes and lookouts during the 20 years it will be seen thai lab or troubles are responsible for loss of $468,168,681. By scanning the above figurei it will be seen that the lossert from strikes and lockouts for thi 20 years under review fell heavi est on the employers, their sha.-e being $826,509,477 while the employer was $142,669,477. Of the 14,457 strikes in the 20 years under consideration those in 103,465 establishments were orders by labororgsnizations, of which the strikes in 64,690 were successful, those in 14,066 succeeded partially and those in 34,699 failed . At the same time there were strikes in 13,913 establishments that were not ordered by organisations of which 4,947 succeeded, 1,259 partly succeeded and 7,707 fail ed. That some idea may be form ed as to the relatiou that the present labor troubles bears to the whole business carried on in the United States the following figures are given. In 1900 there were 512,734 manufacturing establishments of all kinds in tne united states that gave employment to 6,719,137 wage earners, clerks and officials to whom were paid iu wages and salaries $2,735,439,848, and turn d out a product valued al 13,- 030,279,666. 80 far as the farmers and farm bauds have not entered the labor tarmail. In 1900 there were 5,739,657 farms in the United States on which 10,438,219 either as tenants wage earners or owners. The value of the farms and farm property in 1900 was 20,514,001,838. Just how mauy wage earners are organized in the several unions or kindred organizations is not certainly known, but president"1 Mitchell rrcentlv estimated the number t 2,000,000. This is not quite all the number employed in the factories.
