During the period covered by the chart there were no other strikes of prominence or considerable magn tude, although certain of the strikes, small as to the number of strikers involved, carried with them a deep significance. To this class belong the strikes of the commercial tele- graphers, and of the musicians (in- | cluded on the chart in the theatrical industry), which were precipitated by the discharges and wage reduc- tions resulting from the introduction of automatic telegraph machines and the vitaphone respectively in the two | industries referred to.
