THE COST OF STRIKES.
ENGLISH UNION LEADERS ANXIOUS.
RAILWAYS AND TIIE STATE
London, Aug 21
Owing to tho abnormal number of strikes the effect on tho trade union funds is causing tho leaders anxiety. The reservo funds of the General Federation decreased from £162,210 in 1908 to £15,883 in 1913.
Nearly 900,000 unionists are affiliated to tho Federation, and danger arises from the growing membership sweeping in less thrifty members.
Tho Board of Trada is organising a far-reaching inquiry irilo the relations between the railways and tho State, with a view to preventing strikos and lock-outs.
