woolen goods, 67.76 per cent; carpeting, 62.55 per cent; cotton goods, 52.90 per cent; clothing, 49.07 per cent; silk goods, 47.19 per cent; woolen and worsted goods, 46.23 per cent; rope and bagging, 41.67 per cent; tobacco, 39.13 per cent; boots and shoes, 32.66 per cent, etc. The following table shows the number of persons actually striking during the period from January 1, 1887, to December 31, 1900, by industries and by sex. It will be noticed that the first six years of the period are not included in this table. The fact that the employees striking were not subdivided as to sex in the first report on strikes rendered necessary the omission of the period covered by that report. A comparison of the percentages shown for females in this table, which includes only those employees actually striking, with those shown in the preceding one, which includes not only those striking, but also those thrown out of employment by strikes, will afford information as to whether female employees are as active as male employees in urging their demands which lead to strikes.

NUMBER AND PER CENT OF STRIKERS, BY SEX AND INDUSTRY, JANUARY 1, 1887, TO DECEMBER 31, 1900.

Table VIII.-Causes, etc., of strikes, by States.-In this table is taken up separately each of the States in which strikes have occurred during the twenty-year period, and under each of these States separate data

are given for each cause or object, showing for the strikes which occurred on account of each cause or which were undertaken for each object the number of establishments involved and the number of these -in which strikes succeeded, succeeded partly, and failed. Table XIX of the report relates to lockouts and is entirely similar to this table in both its title and the arrangement of the facts included therein.

Table IX.-Causes, etc., of strikes, by years.-This table is similar to the preceding one, showing separate data for each year of the period, classified as to the causes or objects for which the strikes were undertaken. Table XX, for lockouts, corresponds to this table in both title and arrangement.

The per cent of establishments in which strikes and lockouts succeeded, succeeded partly, and failed during each of the twenty years ending December 31, 1900, together with a total for the entire period, are shown in the following summary:

RESULTS, FOR ESTABLISHMENTS, OF STRIKES AND LOCKOUTS, JANUARY 1, 1881, TO DECEMBER 31, 1900.

[This table does not include he results for 180 establishments for which the data were not obtainable by reason of the fact that strikes or lockouts were still pending, etc.]

So far as strikes are concerned, it is seen that out of a total of 117.472 establishments affected by strikes during the twenty-year period, and for which the results were ascertained, the employees were successful in gaining their demands in 59,637, or 50.77 per cent; they partly succeeded in attaining the objects for which the strike. was instituted in 15,325, or 13.04 per cent, while failure followed in 42,510, or 36.19 per cent. In a small number of establishments, constituting three hundredths of 1 per cent of the whole number involved in strikes, data were not obtainable by reason of the fact that strikes were still pending at the end of one of the three periods included in the report, and these, therefore, have not been included

in the table. Of the lockouts during the twenty years for which results were ascertained, the firms gained their point in 4,972, or 50.79 per cent, of the establishments; they partly succeeded in 615, or 6.28 per cent, while they failed in 4,203, or 42.93 per cent. In 1.44 per cent of the whole number of establishments involved the lockouts were either still pending at the end of one of the three periods comprised in the report or the results were not obtainable, and for this reason they have not been included in the table. The number of establishments, both in strikes and lockouts, for which no result could be secured for the reason stated is too small to affect in any appreciable degree the proportions given. The considerable variations in these proportions from year to year may be seen by reference to the table itself.

In order to show the results of the strikes ordered by organizations as compared with those of the strikes not so ordered, the following series of tables is presented. The first two tables show, respectively, by years and by industries, the number of strikes ordered by organizations and the number of establishments in which strikes succeeded, succeeded partly, and failed, and the number not so ordered which could be properly classified under each of these three heads. The last two tables of the series are drawn from the first two and are entirely similar in form, showing the facts in the form of percentages. The tables follow:

NUMBER OF ESTABLISHMENTS IN WHICH STRIKES SUCCEEDED, SUCCEEDED PARTLY, AND FAILED IN STRIKES ORDERED AND NOT ORDERED BY ORGANIZATIONS, BY YEARS, JANUARY 1, 1881, TO DECEMBER 31, 1900.

[Attention is drawn to the fact that the first column of each section of this table relates to the number of strikes, while the succeeding columns relate to the number of establishments in which these strikes occurred. The latter number is much greater owing to the fact that a single strike frequently extended to two or more establishments. This table does not include the results for 37 establishments for which the data were not obtainable by reason of the fact that strikes were still pending, etc., and for 10 strikes involving 104 establishments for which information was not obtainable as to whether they were ordered or were not ordered by organizations.]
