Présentation de l'éditeur

Labour Unrest was one of the most serious problems confronting the country. In 1913, 11,491,000 working days were lost through strikes and lock-outs. The situation was steadily growing worse, when the contending forces in this country united in defence against a foreign foe. Then, although from time to time during the war there was a recrudescence of unrest, it was held in check by a consciousness of the national danger. Now, however, it has broken out again with redoubled force; and in 1919 theL abour Gazette, published by theM inistry of Labour, recorded 1413 strikes and lock-outs, affecting 2,570,000 persons, and involving the loss of 34,483,000 working days. That year witnessed the railway strike, which lasted for nine days, and dislocated industry from John oG roats to Land sE nd. In 1920 there was little improvement, for there were 1715 strikes and lock-outs, affecting 1,932,000 people, and causing the loss of 27,011,000 working days. The iron-moulders strike, which began onS eptember 22, 1919, and lasted until January 12, 1920, caused serious dislocation, and its effects were felt throughout the year ;while in October the general strike of miners, which continued for fifteen days, threatened to bring industry and transport to a complete standstill. In short, it must be admitted that the situation is darker than it was before the war.
