' In any realistic appraisal of the recent increase of labor disputes two points must be noted. One'!

Who the devil wants to scrutinize 1 normal the Some of those individuals with noses for news wholly extraordinary freedom from strikes which the country enjoyed during the de- pression years shoulder. 1 The average numper of wage earners involved in labor disputes during these three years was about . 227000 annually. But this was by no means a = normal figure. The average for the previous de- cade, a period characterized by better times and by greater readiness on the part of labor to risk the loss of work, was approximately 729,000. This is about the number indicated for 1934 on the basis of our experience during the first quarter. The second quarter, now about to end, probably will show a greater increase when statistics have been compiled. But with due allowance for this fact, it is certain that we have thus far experienced nothing comparable with the strike activity either of the war years, when the number of men involved In disputes averaged 1234,000 annually, or of the immediate post-war period, as in 1919 when the figure reached the astounding total of 4,160,000. The second point to be noted is that while strikes and threats of strikes are now increasing the primary cause is substantially different from that which motivated the great majority of labor disputes in earlier years. Records of the Depart- ment of Labor show that over a long period before the depression wages and hours figured as an issue in fully three-fourths of all strikes. In the experi- ence since the mid-summer of 1933 wages and hours have played a wholly subordinate part and the dominating issue in three-fourths of the disputes | has been some phase of the question of union recognition. It was this second phase of the industrial situation, menacing as it did the success of Presi- dent Roosevelt's recovery program, that led to the enactment by Congress just before its adjournment of the Labor Disputes Bill. Under this the Govern- ment proposes to experiment with a new system of official arbitration which is designed to supplant 1 unofficial and voluntary mediation that has proven ineffectual.

It is surprising, when you come to think of it, that women have had to wait so long and work so hard to attain this privilege. in the masculine world have won them such uni- versal respect and custom has accorded them such generous treatment that it is somewhat of a shock legal from a more primitive past and long since levelled in countries with newer constitutions still standing against them.
