The result of these disturbances was reported as follows: These figures include a few strikes in Canada. The strikes here reported include only those in which members of affiliated trade-union bodies were involved. For purpose of comparison, the list of strikes presented by the American Federation of Labor in November is here given. It will be noticed that in many cases there is marked variance between the figures in this statement and the figures in the table prepared by the bureau. It must be remembered, however, that there is some difference in the period covered by the two tables. RESULT OF STRIKES IN SPECIFIED TRADES AS REPORTED BY THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR, 1913-14. RESULT OF STRIKES IN SPECIFIED TRADES AS REPORTED BY THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR, 1913-14-Concluded. LAWS REGULATING THE EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN, JANUARY 1, 1915. The following analysis of the laws regulating employment of women 16 years of age and over existing on January 1, 1915, has recently been prepared by the bureau for the information of a number of correspondents. In order to make it more widely available it seems worth while to reproduce it here. The large amount of legislation of the present year has naturally resulted in some changes in the laws affecting the employment of women and these changes are not included in this analysis. Some of the changes are shown in the article on the legislation of the year 1915 on another page in this Review. Five States, it will be noticedArkansas, Maine, Nebraska, North Carolina, and Wyoming-have all made changes in regard to the hours of labor of women. Probably further additions to this list will be made when full information is available in regard to the legislation of the year. At that time it is the purpose of the bureau to reprint this analysis with such changes as may be called for by the action of the legislatures. 2119°-15-3 33 |
