HOW MUCH DO STRIKES
COST THE NATION?
Curious Figures Based on Department
of Labor
Statistics.
(Capital News Service)
Washington, July 6.?Statistics issued
by the Department of Labor
show that strikes in this country
average more than 3,300 per year.
It is not contended by the department
that its figures are accurate,
since they depend upon newspaper
^ and trade paper reports for the most
, part, but that they are under, rather
than overstatements.
ft Tt is imnn?ciHlo fnifti-fiillv tn psti- I
mate the average cost of a strike,
since they vary so in duration, number
of workmen affected and economic
loss through whatever industry
is wholly or partially shut down.
But if the most conservative possible
estimate be adopted, and it is considered
that the average strife Erects
100 workmen, and that the average
strike lasts 10 days, the total
arrived at is 3,300,000 working days
lost per year. If the average cost
to each workman is $5 per day and
the average loss to each industry
does not exceed three times the loss
to the workmen, then strikes cost this
country some $66,000,000 a year.
It is not believed that these figures
are anything but suggestive. The
average strike undoubtedly affects
thousands, rather than hundreds, and
for many more than ten days; few
union laborers receive as little as $5
a day, and, of course, the industry
affected suffers out of all proportion
to the workmen.
But, it is pointed out at the capitol,

' if it were true that only $66,000,000
[ were wasted by stlikes every year,
that $66,000,000 spent in proper channels
on arbitration would undoubted
ly stop most if not all the strikes!
! It might be an economic measure
to spend a part of it for accurate
statistics of strike costs to the country;
a little education on what i
' really costs to stop work might mak<
(people less willing to indulge in, ori
cause, strikes.

Stamping Out Typhoid Fever.
Attention is called by the New
Orleans Times-Picayune to the fact
that both in Mississippi and in Louisiana
great progress has been made
I in the past two or three years in
the reduction of typhoid fever. In
Louisiana the death rate in 1921 was
only half as great as in 1918, the
rate being cut from 38.95 in 1918
to 22.34 in 1919, to 15.83 in 1920, to
17.73 in 1921.
Typhoid fever has always had bad
..aooo onW wnrv) v?r?. hut it .seems
I vcaio uitu gvvu ^ vw. w, -- ? ?
clear that the mortality from this
loathesome disease has been definitely
and permanently reduced. An epidemic
of typhoid fever today is evidence
that something which should
have been done has been left undone.
If an epidemic occurs in a town or
city the presumption is strong that
something is wrong with the water
supply or the milk supply of the
system of sewerage disposal.
Where competent authorities are
on the job there is not the least likelihood
any longer of a typhoid fever
epidemic. With a first-class public ,
health service adequately maintained,
