15 Months Defense Strikes _ Cost 24 Million Man-Days

During the ‘period from July 1, 1940, to Oct. 1, 1941, there were 1,960,331 workers involved in strikes in all industries. The increase in strikes over the previous year principally was in industries’ manufacturing defense materials. Competent authorities estimated that the lost time. if all applied to the manufacture of airplanes, would have produced at least 10,000 pure suit planes, with enough left over to build two or three good-sized war ships. Of. course, by no means all of the lost time was actually in aircraft plants. : Worker stoppages involved: almost every phase of the defense effort. June of this year, the last month for which industry-by-industry figures are available, was typical. ;The man-days lost totaled 1,448,234, compared with 484,007 during June, 1940. During that month 12,039 aircraft workers lost a total of 52,218 mandays because of strikes. In. shipbuilding strikes the loss of time from strikes was 57,146 man-days; strikes in iron and steel mills accounted for a loss of 103,809 mandays and in nonferrous metals and their products, 60,730 man-days. The report showed an almost unbroken rise in. strikes since the nation began to produce on a major scale for aid to Britain and national defense in mid-1940.

Despite the large number of strikes and the ‘huge loss of time, American workmen ‘as a ‘whole stuck to their jobs of producing for defense, Labor Department officials said. ‘The official reports showed the average worker lost less than one-half of 1 per cent of his werkinge time because of strikes during the 15-month period.

Roosevelt May Intervene

A strike could not be called, however, before Dec. 5, 30 days after the fact-finding = board’s report was made public. Mr. Roosevelt is expected to intervene personally if ‘al strike order is issued.

Aircraft Corp. at San Diego. Mr. Hillman urged non-striking welders to continue working and said he doubted that the companies would need additional aid to maintain operations.

- . Hillman’s Charge Denied .

Jimme Goss, union business representative, denied Mr. Hillman’s charge that the strike was an outlaw move and said the union held contracts at six aircraft plants which have recognized the autonomous welders’ union. Welders returned. to shipyards yesterday at Seattle and Tacoma, Wash., and Los Angeles, but some met a violent reception at Los Angeles. . Their spokesmen charged the
