"Why, just look at that strike in Preston, England, among the cotton spinners.

There were only 660 operatives, but that strike, before it ended, threw out of employment over 7,800 weavers and other workmen who had nothing whatever to do with the quarrel of the 660 men.

In the recent strike in the cotton trade in Lancashire, at the end of the first twelve weeks the operatives had lost in wages alone $4,500,000.

Four strikes that occurred in England between 1870 and 1880, involved a loss in wages of more than $25,000,000.

In 22,000 strikes investigated lately by the National Bureau of Labor, it is estimated that the employees lost about $51,800,000, while the employers lost only $30,700,000.
