Industrial Disputes
Wages lost through industrial disputes during the first three months of this year totalled £13,900, compared with £28,095 in the same period last year, according to the May issue of the Abstract of Statistics. The figures do not allow for the fact that work not performed during the disputes may have been done later. There were 11 disputes concerning shipping and cargo working, six concerning meat freezing, five coal mining, and one each in the flax-milling and gold-mining industries.' The total 24, was one less than that for the same period last year.
