Excerpt from Report on Strikes and Lockouts in Canada, From 1901 to 1912
Sir, - I have the honour to submit a report on strikes and lockouts in Canada, covering the period 1901-12. The report presents a statement, compiled from the records of the department, giving certain particulars concerning all strikes and lockouts which, so far as the department has been able to learn, occurred in Canada from the beginning of to the end of 1912. The record is set forth year by year and, in addition, the statistics for the decade 1901-10 have been tabulated for quinquennial periods, so that comparison may be more conveniently made with reports for equal periods in later Canadian records and with equal periods in the case of other countries where records may be kept. The information contained in the present report may be briefly summed up thus The strikes for the twelve years 19 01-12 have numbered an average of 110 annually. (2) The employees concerned in these strikes have numbered (3) The time lost in strikes during> the twelve years, 1901-12, falls somewhat under nine million days, the annual average being about three-quarters of a million days. Estimating the value in round terms of one day's labour at the annual loss to the country may be placed at about a total estimated loss for the twelve-year period of between twenty-two and twenty-three million dollars.
