Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on Strikes and Lock-Outs and on Conciliation and Arbitration Boards in the United Kingdom in 1913: With Comparative Statistics The present Report is the twenty-sixth of a series of Annual Reports issued by the Department dealing with Strikes and Lock-outs, and with the work of voluntary Conciliation and Arbitration Boards in the United Kingdom. As soon as the Department is aware of the existence of a strike or lock-out, schedules' are sent out both to the employers, or their representatives, and to representatives of the workpeople in volved, and information is thus obtained first-hand while the facts are fresh in the minds of the parties concerned. Throughout the Report a distinction is drawn between work people directly and indirectly involved in disputes. The former are those who actually struck work or were locked out, while the latter are those thrown out of work at the establishments where the disputes Occurred, though not themselves parties to the disputes. It is impracticable to state the number of workpeople who were thrown out of work, or whose employment was curtailed, at other establishments or in other industries than those in which a dispute occurred. The aggregate duration of a dispute is an estimate of the total number of working days lost owing to', tl1e dispute at the establish ment or establishments where it occurred, and is ascertained by multiplying the total number of workpeople directly and indirectly involved (as above defined) by the number of working days from the beginning to the end of the strike or lock-out; allowance being made for any increase or diminution in the number involved, owing to the extension of the dispute on the one hand, or to the gradual replace ment of the workpeople involved, or to their finding work elsewhere, on the other. Small disputes involving less than 10 workpeople altogether, or lasting less than one day, are not included in the statistics, unless their aggregate duration exceeds 100 days.
