“Industrial disputes, judged by the number of actual disputes during 1941, were more prevalent than in any year, at least since 1920," reports the Government Statistician. “However, if consideration is given to the numbers of firms affected, workers involved, working days lost, or estimated loss in wages, the 1941 figures, although high, arc by no means a record. ’! Disputes in 1941 numbered 9(J, with 15,566 workers involved, 26,542 working days lost, and £34,917 estimated Joss in wages,"
