THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

(Paid Advertisement) .'' ' % ‘ Cost of the Strikes Being the last of six messages to the public, based on resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Associated Employers of Indianapolis, and having for their purpose the awakening of the public to its interest and its responsibility In obtaining just settlement of the present railroad and miners’ strikes. THE people of the United States are to day having levied upon them heavy and uneconomic penalties in financial loss, deprivation of life, property and rights and in personal discomfort as a result of strikes of union miners and railroad workers that are curtailing production, hindering the movement of trade and disturbing industry and business at a time when the country can ill afford to suffer this disastrous handicap on the eve of industrial recovery. Misdirected public toleration and indifference to the fundamental issues involved in the strikes of coal miners and railroad workers, and of all similar strikes of union labor, is largely responsible for the chaotic and un-American condition which confronts the nation today, and which presents to the patriotic and lawabiding citizens of this country plain questions that demand prompt, direct and decisive answers. SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND union miners are on strike in the bituminous and anthracite coal fields. Four hundred thousand unionized railroad workers are on strike and threats of additional walkouts of railway employes come from union leaders assuming to speak for organized railroad firemen, oilers, clerks, freight handlers, etc. Many more thousands of unionized workers are out on strike in the shoe, garment and textile trades and in minor disturbances. One and one-half millions of men and women labor unionists are directly involved and idle in these strikes throughout the country, according to the U. S. Department of Labor. These figures do not take into account thousands of other workers indirectly affected and thrown out of work through curtailed industrial operations. Four billion dollars is the net strike loss to industry and labor in the United States in 1921, according to Government estimates. Approximately 9,000,000 hours of work per day are being lost to the country's production at this time through strikes, according to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which also states that from January, 1916, to December, 1921, there were 20,062 known strikes. This is an average of ten strikes for each working day, or more than a strike an hour for every hour of a nine-hour working day. The appalling economic loss to employers, employes and the public in connection with these strikes is impossible of estimate, representing as it does many billions of dollars in lost wages and business, curtailed production, disturbed trade, strife and destruction of life and property, misery and unhappiness. These strikes, losses and destruction are not chargeable to American labor as such, the vast majority of which is unorganized. This chaotic and un-American condition is directly and solely chargeable to misdirected present-day closed-shop unionism, which represents but a small minority of our population. Out of a total national population of about 110,000,000 people, and approximately 50,000,000 of whom are gainful workers, only 3,195,651 are dues-paying members in the American Federation of Labor. Locally, out of a population of 335,260 people, 146,300 are gainful workers in either the wage or salary groups, and less than 10,000 of them are affiliated in the allied labor unions of Indianapolis, The losses of life and property can be stopped for the present by settling the existing strikes. But unless they are settled with a full consideration for the American right of a man to work, even more serious losses will come in the future. THIS is a matter of vital importance to the whole people and it is urged that civic and commercial organizations, trade and business associations, patriotic societies, clubs, churches and similar institutions shall at once adopt clear-cut resolutions containing, among other declarations, the specific demand that there shall be no settlement of either the coal or railroad strikes which shall require or necessitate the discharge of any loyal non-union employe, or which shall fail to forever establish, in plain and unequivocal terms, the right of any citizen to employ or be employed with full protection of the law, in any legitimate pursuit or occupation.
