Japan Labor Unions Grow Amid Strikes and Wages Rise
W. E. Curtis reports in the Chicago Record on Japan's labor unions expanding across the empire with 38 to 39 strikes in the past year. The ironworkers union in Tokio is strongest with 2,200 members, alongside ten other Tokyo groups. Government attention grows as a general labor bill, inspired by British law, proposes factory inspections, wage protections, safety, and a certificate system to curb strikes and poachings. Wages have risen 20 to 40 percent, fueling urban migration and industrial strain.
