PUBLIC OPINION INFLMCEDI CHICAGO, April 11.—The havoc| wrought among the 30,000 shopmen, whose strike against the so-called Harriman lines in 1911 was lost, was sketched statistically yesterday be-| tore the United States commission on | Industrial Relations. The witness was Frank Comerford, for many years attorney for the men. Ong thousand question blanks were sent at random to the strikers thirty- four months after the strike, His figures, Mr. Comerford explained, applied to these 1,000 men, and he thought that a fair social survey of the whole number could be ebtained by multiplying his figures by thirty, Effects of Strike.

Forty-two per cent of the mon owned thelr homes, or were buying them. The strike ocost 15 per eent of these thelr homes, and of the whole number, 91 per cent moved from thelr lowly domiciles to even cheaper quartefs. Twelve per cent of the strikers had to sell their furniture and 10 per cent to seek charity. The average period of 1dleness occasioned by the strike was one year. The witness claimed that he had traced ‘sixteen cases of sulcide to the strike, and nine cases of insanity. ‘“This, in brief. is an attempt to repre- sent human values in dollars,” sald Mr. Comerford.
