The table below summarizes the returns of strikes and lockouts secured by the Bureau of Mediation and Arbitration for the third and fourth quarters of 1910.

In the last quarter of 1910, on the other hand, disputes were much more numerous than in 1909 or than is usual for that quarter. The number of work people involved was much less than in 1909, but the total time lost in disputes was somewhat greater. Both items were still much higher in 1910 than is usual for the fourth quarter, just as was the case in 1909. NEW DISP1fTES.
