The following table shows the number of strikes cach year from 1594 to 1905, grouped according to the number of days of their duration:

STRIKES IN AUSTRIA. BY DURATION AND YEARS, 194 TO 136.

The strikes were mostly of short duration, 2,034 out of a total of 3,759, or 54.1 per cent, lasting from 1 to 5 days. Only 45 strikes occurring in the twelve years lasted over 100 days.

The next table shows, for each year, the magnitude of the strikes as measured by the number of persons involved:

STRIKES IN AUSTRIA, BY NUMBER OF PERSONS INVOLVED AND YEARS, 1894

This table shows that a large proportion of the strikes in Austria were strikes of considerable magnitude, 1,085 out of a total of 3,759 involving over 100 employees.

In the table which follows the strikes are grouped according to the number of working-days lost, which probably is the true measure of magnitude, since it takes into account both the number of persons

STRIKES IN AUSTRIA BY WORKING-DAYS LOST AND YEARS, 1894 TO 1905.

Owing to the short duration of many of the strikes, the aggregate working-days lost did not exceed 100 days in 1,517, or 40.4 per cent of the total number of strikes.

The summary tables of strikes, as published in the Austrian reports, do not show the results of strikes by principal causes, but make each individual demand a separate unit, regardless of the number of strikes. Thus the statistics which follow show the number of times each demand figured as an incentive to a strike, and the results of such demands. The figures for the years 1891 to 1893 were not in such form that they could be used in this connection. Those for the years 1894 to 1897, inclusive, do not include strikes in the mining industries, while those for 1898 to 1905 show the demands made and results for all the strikes reported in the preceding tables. The following table shows the causes or objects for which strikes were undertaken and the results for each year from 1894 to 1905.
