[The column headed "Strikers" shows the maximum number of strikers at any time during strike.] Other em ployees thrown Strikes which out of work. The strikes were mostly of short duration, 60.3 per cent of the total number which occurred during the seven-year period having lasted ten days or less. The lockouts, on the other hand, were mostly of longer duration, 58.8 per cent of the total number having lasted over twenty days. In the next two tables are shown, respectively, the number of strikers involved in strikes each year, and the number of strikes which succeeded, succeeded partly, and failed, the number of establishments and the number of persons affected during the seven-year period, NUMBER OF STRIKERS INVOLVED IN STRIKES IN GERMANY, BY YEARS, 1899 TO 1905.

[The column headed "Strikers" shows the maximum number of strikers at any time during strike.] Other em ployees thrown Strikes which out of work. In the German reports, where the causes of strikes are given in the tabulations, the demand and not the strike is taken as the unit-that is, each individual demand is made a separate unit, regardless of the number of strikes. The following table shows the number of strikes in which each cause has figured and the result for each year from 1899 to 1905: CAUSES AND RESULTS OF STRIKES IN GERMANY, BY YEARS, 1899 TO 1905. [Strikes due to two or more causes have been tabulated under each cause; hence the totals for this table, if computed, would not agree with those for the preceding tables.] For reinstatement of discharged employees. 153 26 98 CAUSES AND RESULTS OF STRIKES IN GERMANY, BY YEARS, 1899 TO 1905-Concluded. The statistics of strikes and lockouts in Great Britain and Ireland were compiled from the annual reports published by the British labor department since 1889. The first report, that for 1888, is not so comprehensive as those for subsequent years, and has therefore been excluded from the present compilation. The report for 1889 includes 15 strikes which began in 1888. In all other cases, except where otherwise indicated, the figures for total strikes and lockouts represent those beginning in each specified year. The reports for 1889 to 1893, inclusive, consider strikes and lockouts separately in most of the tables, but in the reports for subsequent years the strikes and lockouts are combined. Other changes that may have been made in the method of presentation from time to time are mentioned in connection with the tables. These various changes make it impossible to present for comparison in the same table the more important facts published in relation to labor disputes for the entire period. The three following tables, therefore, show the statistics of disputes, grouped by years for which they are comparable, namely, 1889 to 1893, 1894 and 1895, and 1896 |
