Shordon Aug 29. From ministry tables published data on industrial disputes and stoppages during 1934. The figures show 55,000 workers involved in 612,000 days of disruption across all disputes, with 8,320,000 days lost in progress. Most disputes centered on wages, employment of certain classes, and working arrangements, with hours of labor a smaller factor except in 1919. Methods of settlement favored direct agreement, but arbitration and conciliations also played roles, while large disputes tended toward compromise.
