Cost of Strikes.— Strikes in the United States during 1964 cost more than 23,000,000 man-days, the Bureau of Labour Statistics reported. This was the highest level since 1959 but better than the postwar average, the bureau said. Nearly one-third of the hours lost were in the motor industry.—Washington, January 6.
