STRIKES AND LOCKOUTS IN CANADA, 
 
 1901-1916. 
 
 1. GENERAL SUMMARY. 
 
 This volume contains information collected in the Department of Labour to the 
 close of the calendar year, 1916, with respect to strikes apd lockouts in Canada. In the 
 report on this subject for the period, 1901-1912, issued in 1913, it was indicated that 
 the department planned to issue similar reports periodically, supplementary to the 
 statements on industrial disputes appearing in the Labour Gazette and in the Annual 
 Eeport of the Department. The earlier report gave special attention to the quin- 
 quennial periods, 1901-1905 and 1906-1910, and the present volume gives special tables- 
 for the succeeding quinquennium. Comparisons are made with the statistics of indus- 
 trial disputes for the periods 1901-1905 and 1906-1910, and in addition a brief survey 
 is given of industrial disputes during the sixteen years covered by the departmental 
 record. Throughout the report, unless stated otherwise, the figures as 'to the number 
 of disputes and the employers and employees affected are those of disputes in existence 
 in the year. As usually a few disputes are caj-ried forward each year, in the total for 
 any period of years a small number of disputes and the numbers of employers and 
 employees affected by them are counted more than once. The time, loss in each dispute 
 is an estimate of the number of " men days " lost. It is ascertained by mtdtiplying 
 the number of working days in which the industry was idle by the number of 
 employees involved in the dispute. 
 
 In the period 1901-1916 tljere were 1,594 strikes, which involved '9,430 employers, 
 398,391 employees and a time loss estimated at 10,920,539 working days. Perhaps the 
 outstanding feature of the record is the comparatively slight industrial disturbance in 
 Canada since the outbreak of the war. Disputes in progress when war began in August, 
 1914, were soon adjusted ; only seven disputes occurred in the period from August 1 to 
 December 31, 1914, and less than 300 employees were affected. In 1915 there were 
 forty-three strikes affecting 9,140 employees, and causing a time loss of 106,149 days— 
 the smallest amount of disturbance from the standpoints of number of disputes, time 
 loss and percentage of the total population involved ever ■ recorded. Although in 1916 
 the number of disputes increased to seventy-five, the year stands third in the record 
 as to minimum of trouble. In 1911-1915, the five years with which the report deals 
 most closely, the number of disputes — 449 — was lower than in either of the two pre- 
 vious quinquennial periods. The number of employees affected— 12Y,959 — shows a 
 slight increase over the figures for the two previous periods — 126,179 in 1906-1910, 
 and 123,096 in 1901-1905— but the time loss of 4,969,739 days was muct the heaviest 
 of the three five-year periods.

 COMPARISON WITH PRECEDING PERIODS. 
 
 From the standpoint of the number of disputes, industrial unrest in the period 
 1911-15, was greatest in the building, metal, clothing and transportation trades in the 
 order named, and it is noteworthy that this order prevails throughout the three quin- 
 quennial periods (Table II). Time loss, however, was greatest in mining, in which 
 industry 51.7 per cent of the time loss was recorded. The clothing trade stood second 
 with 11.8 per cent, and building third with 11-2 per cent; in each of the other two 
 periods building took second place. The time loss in raining and lumbering shows 
 marked increases throughout the three periods, and there is also a steady increase in 
 time loss in the metals group, although this is probably not disproportionate to the 
 expansion of the industries of that class. The unskilled labour group shows a decided 
 increase in the last quinquennium, and in this period, also, the time loss in the foods 
 and tobaccos group was much heavier than in either of the two previous periods. In 
 the building, woodworking, printing, and miscellaneous groups the time loss in the 
 last period was greater than in the second but less than in the first. The figures of 
 time loss for 1911-16 in the textile, leather, and general transportation groups 
 diminished. 
 
 The mining industry has contributed a constantly increasing share of the country's 
 industrial unrest, aboijt twenty-five per cent of the total time loss being chargeable to 
 this industry in the first quinquennium as against approximately forty-seven per cent 
 and fifty-one per cent in the periods 1906-10 and 1911-15, respectively. Mining apart, 
 the volume of industrial unrest, as measured by time loss, shows a decline in the 
 second quinquennium and the increase in the third period is greatly reduced. (See 
 pag;e 16). Coal mining, to which, of course, is due most of the time loss in the 
 mining industry, is also responsible for a large share of the total industrial unrest as 
 is shown by the accompanying chart. 
 
 I DISTRIBUTION BY PRWINCES. 
 
 The record of the distribution of strikes or lockouts among the provinces during 
 the period 1911-15, places Ontario, the most populous province, in the lead with 43-4: 
 per cent of the total number (Table I). Quebec ranking , second with 16-7 per cent. 
 Measured by working days lost, however, the economic disturbance was greatest in 
 British Columbia, that province recording 35 per cent of the total time loss. Inter- 
 provincial disputes caused 28-9 per cent of the time loss, and disputes in Ontario, 
 which province' ranked third from this standpoint, caused 13-6 per cent of the time 
 loss.

 MAGNITUDE OF DISPUTES. 
 
 The great majority of the disputes concern comparatively small numbers of 
 employees. In 61 per cent of the disputes in the period 1911-1915, less than one hun- 
 dred employees were involved (table III). There were 10 disputes in which the time 
 loss was 100,000 days or upwards, and these disputes accounted for almost 70 per cent 
 of the total time- loss for the period (table IV). The majority of the disputes were 
 also of short duration; almost 30 per cent of the disputes in the period 1911-1915 
 existed for less than five days and 57 per cent endured not more than twenty days 
 (table V). Disputes, in this period were of greatest duration in building and mining, 
 in which industries 18.7 and 17-3 per cent of the disputes, respectively continued 
 longer than thirty days. 
 
 CAUSES AND RESULTS. 
 
 The majority of the disputes in the period 1911-1915 were due to questions of 
 wages and hours, about 70^ per cent of the disputes and 63 per cent of the time loss 
 being due to this cause. TJiree per cent of the disputes and 20-7 per cent of the time 
 loss were due to demands for recognition of the union, and 2-2 per cent of the strikes 
 and 5.2 per cent of the time loss were on accoxint of sympathetic strikes (table V.) 
 As to the results of the disputes, 139 or 30 per cent resulted in favour of the employees, 
 164, or 36 per cent in favour of the employers, ' 79 or 17 per cent were compromised and 
 in 67 cases the result was indefinite (table VI.) 
 
 METHODS OP SETTLEMENT. 
 
 Direct negotiations between the parties or their representatives ranks first as a 
 method of settlement, 196 of the 449 disputes having, been settled in this way. (Table 
 
STRIKES AND LOCKOUTS IN CANADA, 1901-1916 1 1 
 
 VII). Thirty-one disputes were settled by conciliation or mediation, 3 by arbitration 
 and 5 by reference to a board under the Industrial Disputes Investigation Act; in 
 104 cases the employees returned to work on the employers' terms and in 40 cases the 
 dispute was settled by replacement of the workpeople; in 70 cases the dispute was 
 settled otherwise, or there was no settlement, or the settlement was indefinite or not 
 reported. ' 
 
 SURVEY OF THE SIXTEEN-YEAR PERIOD 1901-191G, 
 
 The factors which determine the causes and duration of disputes are found in a 
 measure in the general economic situation of the country. The accompanying chart 
 indicates that the percentage of strikes in each year in which the demands for 
 increased wages and shorter hours were dominant causes rises or falls, generally speak- 
 ing, with the curve of prices. The commercial crises of 1903-1904 and 1907-1908 sfeem, 
 however, to have retarded the demand for higher wages much more than the advance 
 in prices, while in the period of depression which began in 1913 the downward trend 
 of the demand for higher wages proceeded simultaneously with the movement upward 
 of prices. On the other hand the percentage of strikes to prevent wage reductions 
 rises perceptibly in the crises of 1903-1904 and 1907 and 1908 and during the depres- 
 sion at the time of the outbreak of the war. In the intervening periods of expanding 
 employment and rising prices strikes to secure higher wages increased. 
 
 As to the duration of strikes, the curve showing the percentage in each year of 
 strikes of more than thirty days duration has the same general trend as the curves of 
 prices, demand for higher wages and union recognition. It is noteworthy that when 
 the crest of the wave of prosperity was reached in 1911-1912 there was a strong demand 
 for higher wages, but the percentage of strikes continuing over thirty days declined. 
 In the depression of 1913 and 1914 the number of, prolonged strikes increased in 
 apparent efforts to make wages conform to the cost of living and to prevent wage 
 reductions, while in 1915 workmen opposed attempted reductions in wages, half the 
 strikes of more than thirty days in that year being chargeable to this cause. In 1916 
 the steep advance in prices was concurrent with a strong demand for higher wages, 
 but the decline in the percentage of the disputes which endured for more than thirty 
 days indicated that in general adjustments were speedily effected. 
 
 The years 1903, 1911, 1912 and 1913 are prominent in the record as years of unrest 
 and the years 1902, 1904, 1905, 1915 and 1916 as years of comparative calm. The 
 heavy time loss in 1903 is due chiefly to a number of strikes in the building trades and 
 one of over 3,000 men at Toronto in particular and a strike of 5,000 shoe workers at 
 Quebec. The year stands third highest in the record from the standpoints ot both 
 time loss and number of disputes. ' In 1911, the year of heaviest time loss, there were 
 prolonged strikes in the coal fields of the Crow's Nest Pass and at Springhill, Nova 
 Scotia. In 1913 there was a strike of 6,000 railway construction workers in British 
 Columbia and in September a strike began in the coal mines at Ladysmith, Vancouver 
 Island, which was not terminated until August, 1914. There were strikes of some mag- 
 nitude in gold mines in the Porcupine district, of garment workers at Montreal and 
 of cloak makers at Toronto. The most serious dispute in 1913 was that in coal mines 
 on Vancouver Island. A number of disputes of lesser importance in the building and 
 clothing trades, and a strike by saw-mill hands at St. John, New Brunswick, contri- 
 buted to the total. The years 1902, 1904 and 1905 are years of low time loss in the 
 period of comparative industrial, peace before the era of expanding employment and 
 advancing wages. They also show the influence of the crises of 1900-01 and 1903-04. 
 The effect of the crisis of 1907-08 is no doubt reflected in the decline in the number of 
 disputes. After the outbreak of the war there was a period of almost complete 
 immunity from labour troubles and the year 1915 established a low record in time 
 losses. The year 1916 stands third in the record as a year of low time loss.

 INFLUENCES OF THE INDUSTRIAL DISPUTES IXVESTIGATION ACT, 1907. 
 
 The Industrial Disputes Investigation Act, 1907, administered by this Depart- 
 ment, has an important bearing on industrial disputes, and it has been thought well 
 to include in the report a brief record of proceedings under the Act. The following 
 table shows the proceedings from March 22, 1907, the date of the enactment of the 
 statute, to December 31, 1916.

 The total num,b6r of boards of conciliation and investigation established under the Act 
 during the period was 184. 
 
 The 219 cases in which application was made for the establishment of a board, of con- 
 ciliation and investigation were disposed of as foUovlfS : — 174 were reported upon by boards, 32 
 were settled without the establishment of boards, nine were settled while the board was in pro- 
 cess of constitution, one board was restrained by the Court of Review from proceeding with its 
 investigation, two were referred to Bx>yal Commissions appointed under the Inquiries Act and 
 one was under consideration by the Minister at the close of the year 1916. 
 
 COMPARISON WITH OTHER COUNTRIES. 
 
 Tables are given at the conclusion of the report dealing with strikes in the United 
 Kingdom, Australia, France, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Holland, Sweden, Germany and 
 Austria. Where statistics were available some attempt has been made to compare 
 these countries wiih Canada as to industrial unrest. The only figures available for 
 the United States are those of disputes during 1914 and 1915, and as the United States 
 was not at war during these years no comparison is made. The ratio of the number 
 of disputes to the total industrial population, excluding the agricultural, commercial 
 and professional classes, would be no doubt the best basis of comparison, but statistics 
 are frequently inadequate fdr such comparison and the number of strikes per million 
 of the population in all gainful occupations (these figures being available) has been 
 therefore used as a basis of comparison. The figures show that, making due allowances 
 for the higher degree of industrialization which obtains in some of the other countries, 
 Canada enjoys a greater degree of immunity from trade disputes than other industrial 
 nations. In the period 1911-15 Canada had 166 trade disputes per million of the 
 population gainfully employed. On the same basis the figures for the other countries 
 for which the statistics were available were: United Kingdom, 246; Australia, 455; 
 France, 219; Italy, 293; and Holland, 619.

 2. REVIEW OF THE FIVE-YEAR PERIODS, 1901-1905, 1906-1910 AND 
 
 1911-1915. 
 
 While the number of disputes was lower in the period 1911-15 than in either of 
 the five-year periods, 1906-10 and 1901-05, there was a slight increase in the number 
 of employees affected and the time losses were much greater despite the low figures 
 of the war years 1914 and 1915. This .is due chiefly to the high record in time loss 
 established in the year 1911 mainly on account of a strike of 7,000 coal miners in the 
 Crows Nest Pass and Southern Alberta coal districts and the continuance until May, 
 1911, of a strike of coal miners at Springhill, N.S., which began in the summer of 
 1909. The years 1913 and 1912 were also largely responsible as they stand third and 
 fourth respectively in the sixteen years of the record as years of 'heavy time loss.

 From the standpoint of the number of disputes, industrial unrest in the period 
 1911-15 was greatest in the building trades, there being 128 disputes' in the buildin"- 
 trades in this period as against 123 in 1906-10, and 143 in 1901-05. The metal trades 
 stand next to building with clothing and transportation following in order and it is 
 noteworthy that this order prevails throughout the three quinquennial periods. In 
 the metal trades the number of disputes in 1911-15 was 103, in 1906-10 there were 
 seventy-five disputes and in 1901-05 the number was ninety-five. In clothing, disputes 
 in these periods numbered fifty-one, fifty-six, and fifty-one respectively, and in trans- 
 portation thirty-nine, fifty-four and forty-three respectively. From the standpoint of 
 time losses, industrial unrest in 1911-15 was greatest in the mining industry the 
 clothing trade standing second and building third. The approximate number of work- 
 ing days lost in the mining industry in 1911-15 was 2,570,688 as compared with 1,510,- 
 
16 DEPARTMEiSTT OF LABOUR^ CANADA 
 
 307 in 1906-10 and 64Y,172 in 1901-05. The heaviest time loss took place in mining 
 also in the other two five-year periods with building standing second and the clothing 
 trade third in each case. In 1911-15 the time loss in the clothing trade was 587,739 
 days as against 105,531 days in 1906-10 and 196,797 in 1901-05. Clothing next to the 
 unskilled labour group shows the heaviest increase in time loss over the period 1906-10. 
 In building, the time loss in 1911-15 was 557,194 days, in 1906-10, 474,028 days, and 
 in 1901-05 610,586 days. The time losses in mining and lumbering show marked 
 increases throughout the three periods, the loss of time in lumbering in 1911-15 being 
 more than twice as great as in 1906-10. There was also a steady increase in time loss 
 in the metals group although this is probably not disproportionate to the expansion 
 of the industry. The time loss in the unskilled labour group was practically the same 
 in the first two periods but in 1911-15 this group shows the heaviest increase there 
 being a loss of 475,950 days as compared with 19,402 in the period 1906-10. The time 
 loss in the foods and tobacco group was also much heavier in the period 1911-15, than 
 in either of the two previous periods. In the building, wood-working, printing and 
 miscellaneous groups, more working days were lost than in the period 1906-10, but 
 fewer than in 1901-05. The figures of time losses in the textile, leather and general 
 transportation groups in 1911-15 were the lowest of the three periods. 
 
 It is evident that mining contributes a constantly increasing share of the country's 
 industrial unrest, about twenty-five per cent of the total time loss being chargeable to 
 this industry in the first quinquennium as against approximately forty-seven per cent 
 and fifty-one per cent in the periods 1906-10 and 1911-15, respectively. Leaving min- 
 ing out of consideration the volume of industrial unrest as measured by time losses 
 shows a decline in the second quinquennium and the increase in the third period is 
 greatly reduced. This is indicated in the following statement in which the figures for 
 1901-05 are taken as 100 in each case: —

 Industrial unrest in the mining industry is chargeable chiefly to coal mining, 
 the time loss on account of labour troubles in coal mines being particularly heavy in 
 the years 1911, 1913 and 1916. The greatest single factor in the time loss of 2,046,650 
 working days in 1911, the largest time loss in the sixteen years of the record, was a 
 seven-months strike of 7,000 coal miners in the Crow's Nest Pass and Southern 
 Alberta districts. This strike involved a time loss of 1,580,000 working days. Another 
 important factor in the 1911 record was the continuance until :M!ay, 1911, of a twenty- 
 two months strike of coal miners at Springhill, Nova Scotia, which had been in 
 existence from the summer of 1909. The number of working days lost through this 
 strike in 1911 alone was 190,000: While the number of strikes in 1912, namely, 150, 
 was larger than in any other year of the record, coal mining disputes were relatively 
 unimportant. There were only two disputes in this industry, one at Coleman, Alberta, 
 where 560 men were on strike for less than a week, and one at Cumberland, and Lady- 
 smith, on Vancouver Island, which involved a time loss of 350,500 days in 1912. This 
 strike which began September 17, 1912, was not settled until August 19, 1914; the 
 time loss in 1913 on account of this dispute was 588,000 days. The only other dispute 
 in coal mining in 1913 took place at Taber, Alberta, and involved only 37 employees. 
 The continuance of the strike on Vancouver Island until August, 1914, involved a loss 
 of 153,750 working days in that year, and a strike of 900 coal miners at Nordegg, Alberta, 
 brought the time loss in coal mining up to 169,200 days in a total time loss for the year 
 of 430,000 working days. In 1915 there were five relatively unimportant strikes in 
 the coal mining industry, two of these took place at Westville, Nova Scotia, and one at 
 Springhill, in the same province. Strikes of coal miners at Lovettville and Drum- 
 heller, Alberta, accounted for the remaining two. The time loss on account of these 
 strikes was 16,794 days in a total for the year of 106,000 days. In 1916 strikes in coal 
 mines accounted for 73,000 days in a total time loss of 208,000 days. These strikes,

 which were of short duration, took place at Stellarton and Minto, Nova Scotia, at 
 Bienfait and Taylorton, Saskatchewan, at Bellevue, Alberta, and South Wellin^n, 
 British Columbia, and two in the Crow's Nest Pass and Alberta coal fields.

STRIKES AND LOCKOUTS IN CANADA, 1901-1916 19 
 
 3. IMPOETANT DISPUTES IN THE PERIOD 1911-1916. 
 
 1911. 
 
 Disputes, 99; Employees, 30,094; Time Loss, 2,046,650 Days. 
 
 The year 1911 was one of unprecedented severity in industrial disputes in Canada 
 - in So far, at least, as measured by time loss in working days although few lines of 
 industry other than coal mining were seriously affected. The number of strikes in 
 existence was 99, three of which were carried over from 1910, as compared with 84 in 
 existence in the previous year, this increase being, however, in no way commensurate 
 with the increase in time loss to over two million days. In no previous year save 1903 
 had the time loss reached one million days. A strike at Springhill, N.S., which began in 
 August, 1909, and involved the employees of the Cumberland Eailway and Coal Com- 
 pany was not terminated until May, 1911, although operations were resumed in the 
 miuBS on a limited scale in the month of March, 1910. The trouble arose out of the 
 employees' demand for recognition of the United Mine Workers of America and con- 
 cerned also wages and conditions of employment. Application was made by the 
 employees concerned for a board of conciliation and investigation under the Indus- 
 trial Disputes Investigation Act. The Board was constituted in June, 1909, and 
 reported in July of that year. The findings of the Board were not acceptable to the 
 employees and a strike ensued. Settlement was finally reached by negotiation 
 between the parties. The time loss charged against the Springhill dispute was 190,- 
 000 days for 1911, or 760,000 days for the twenty-two months over which the dispute 
 extended.. — 
 
 Before the strike at .Springhill ended the coal miners in the region of the Crow's 
 Nest Pass, covering eighteen coal mining properties in Southeastern British Columbia 
 and Southern Alberta, and numbering about 7,000 went out, a strike having started on 
 April 1. The Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company which had escaped the strike of 1909, 
 was less fortunate on this occasion, and the companies remained together and took 
 common action. A worlyng agreement made in June, 1909, at the close of the strike 
 in that year, lapsed on March 31, 1911. Efiorts to negotiate a new agreement to permit 
 continuous work failed, after numerous conferences at Calgary, Alberta. A Board 
 ^established under the Industrial Disputes Investigation Act (but not applied for before 
 the strike was called) .was unable to adjust the dispute. Wages and conditions were 
 among the questions involved, but the chief difficulty arose as to the precise relations 
 between the mining operators and the officials of the U.M.W.A., of which organization 
 the employees were members. The crucial point, as in 1909, was the " check-off " and 
 its precise form, whether or not, in fact, it should be given in such a form as practically 
 to include the concession of the " closed shop." The time loss reached the relatively 
 high figure of 1,390,000 working days, which alone was greatly in excess of the total 
 of any preceding year. The two coal strikes caused a time loss of 1,580,000 days, more 
 than three-quarters of the total for the year. 
 
 In other industries there was no- disastrous dispute, but a number of strikes of 
 building tradesmen at Vancouver caused time loss of about 250,000 days. A strike of 
 railway machinists in the employ of the Grand Trunk Pacific Eailway Company 
 occurred subsequent to the closing down of the conipany's shops at Edmonton and 
 Rivers. At the time of the strike a hoard of conciliation and investigation was investi- 
 gating the dispute, which involved wages, hours and conditions of employment and a 
 demand on the part of the employees for a schedule of agreement with the company. 
 The award of the Board was satisfactory to the men but the company declined to 
 accept it and the strike was hot formally settled until December 13, 1912. The time loss 
 due to this dispute during 1911 was 21,000 days. The number of disputes referred for 
 adjustment under the Industrial Disputes Investigation Act during the year was 21; in 
 four cases the threatened strike was not averted.

 1912. 
 
 Disputes, 150; Employees, 40,5H; Time Loss, 1,099,208 Days. 
 
 In 1912 the number of strikes continued to advance, but the time loss of the pre- 
 vious year was cut in half. Two of the 150 disputes in existence during the year were 
 carried over from 1911. There was no serious dispute in the coal mining industry 
 until towards the close of the yiear when a strike began at Ladysmith on Vancouver 
 island, which entailed a time loss in 1912 of 35,000 days. In metalliferous mining 
 there was a strike of some importance in the Porcupine district, where 1,200 gold 
 miners went out on November 15, subsequent to the report of a board of conciliation 
 and investigation which had inquired into the proposed reduction in wages, which 
 was the main point in dispute. The strike, which was not terminated until June, 
 14, 1913, involved a time loss of 46,500 days in 1912r A strike which overshadowed 
 others as to time loss, although it did not seriously affect the industrial life of the 
 country, was one of railway construction labourers in British Oolmnbia, who went out 
 on April 1, the strike being called off on June 15. The men numbered about 6,000 
 and the time loss was estimated at 360,000. Railway construction workers at Prince 
 Rupert also went out and caused a time loss of 81,000 days. A strike of garment work- 
 ers at Montreal caused a loss of 143,500 days and a dispute in the cloak-making industry 
 at Toronto caused a time loss of 120,000 days. 
 
 A strike of the employees of the Canadian Pacific Eailway Company, including 
 freight hajidlers and freight clerks, took place on November 4, on account of the com- 
 pany's refusal to consider an application for a schedule of rules and rates and the 
 dismissal of certain employees who refused to withdraw from the Canadian Brother- 
 hood of Railroad Employees. Shortly after the strike occurred a board of conciliation 
 and investigation was constituted to deal with m£ttt.ers in dispute on the Ottawa 
 ■ division, at Fort William and Port Arthur. The board's findings, although acceptable 
 to the employees, were not accepted by the company and a strike'resulted. This strike 
 was not terminated until February 1, 1913. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway mach- 
 inists' strike mentioned above (1911), which had been continued from October, 1911, 
 was not formally settled until December 13. The number of men concerned was not 
 large but as the strike extended over so long a period, the time loss was 44,000 working 
 days. This strike was one of the most difficult of the year from some points of view 
 and thp Minister of Labour assisted in bringing the dispute to a close. 
 
 The number of disputes referred for adjustment tmder fhe Industrial Disputes 
 Investigation Act during the year was 16 ; in three cases the threatened strike was not 
 averted. 
 
 1913. 
 
 Disputes, 113; Employees., 39,536; Time Loss, 1,28'7,6'78. 
 
 There was a decrease in the number of disputes in existence in 1913, 113 being 
 reported, 7 of which were carried over from 1912, but the numbers of employers and 
 employees affected were practically the same as in the previous year. A^ slight increase, 
 however, took place in the number of working days lost, the figures being 1,287,-678 
 and 1,099,208 for 1913 and 1912 respectively. The increase in time loss is accounted 
 for by the fact that two disputes, one of coal miners on Vancouver island, and another 
 involving lumber mill hands at St. John were together responsible for the loss of 
 722,850 working days, about 56 per cent of the total time loss of the year. 
 
 The most important dispute was that of coal miners on Vancouver island, which 
 commenced some months prior to the end of 1912 at Cumberland and Extension mines 
 operated by Canadian Collieries, Limited. The number of men idle at the commence- 
 ment of the dispute was about 1,700, but in May all the men employed in and around 
 the mines at Nanaimo, South Wellington and Jinglepot came out and 3,500 hands 
 
iSTRlKES AND LOCKOUTS IN CANADA, 1901-1916 21 
 
 were idle during the summer months of 1913. A partial settlement was effected 
 through an agreement between the Vancouver-Nanaimo Coal Company and its 
 employees numbering about 260 men, but in other respects the trouble remained 
 unsettled at the end of 1913, when it was estimated that about 1,000 former employees 
 were idle at various points. In all about 588,000 working days were lost during 1913 
 as a result of this strike. Although the dispute fell within the scope of the Industrial 
 Disputes Investigation Act, neither party applied for a board and the machinery of 
 the statute could not be utilized. 
 
 The dispute was made the subject of special inquiry by Mr. Samuel Price as a 
 Eoyal commissioner during the summer of 1913, and the district affected was visited 
 at different times by officers of the department for purposes of inquiry and conciliation. 
 The Minister of Labour also visited the strike area in the summer of 1913. Serious 
 disturbances of peace occurred about the middle of August, and numerous arrests 
 resulted. A force of militia and special constables remained in the affected areas dur- 
 ing the later months of the year. 
 
 The difficulties in the lumbering industry at St. John N.B., were also serious. 
 The saw-mills in the city were idle during the summer months on account of a lockout 
 on the part of the millowners following a demand for increased wages made by raft- 
 men, pondsmen and pilers. Eleven firms were involved in the dispute and some 1,500 
 men were thrown out of employment although only 150 were directly concerned in the 
 demand for higher wages. Trades of all kinds were seriously affected and building 
 operations were hampered by the lack of building materials. None of the mills were 
 sawing until September and at the end of the month , operations were generally 
 resumed, the men having returned to work at the former rate of wages. The time loss 
 in this dispute was 134,850 working days. The building, metal and clothing trades 
 were the other lines chiefly affected by strikes during the year. 
 
 The number of disputes referred for adjustment under the Industrial Disputes 
 Investigation Act during the year was 18; in one case the threatened strike was not 
 averted. 
 
 1914. 
 
 Disputes^ 44; Employees, 8,678; Time Loss, 430,054 Days. 
 
 The number of trade disputes in existence in Canada during the year 1914, was 
 44 (four of which were carried over from the previous year), the lowest number recbrded 
 since the department began the collection of strike statistics in 1901. In all respects 
 save in the number of establishments affected (in which the figures for 1914 were 
 slightly in excess of those of 1908) and time loss, the record for the year showed much 
 lower figures than during any previous year. 
 
 The number of disputes actually commenced in the year 1914 was 40, there being 
 four disputes carried over from the previous year. These strikes were those of the 
 coal miners on Vancouver island, shoe workers at Quebec and garment workers and 
 cigar-makers at Montreal, which accounted for more than half the number of employees 
 •concerned, as well as half the approximate time loss in working days during the year. 
 The strike of coal miners on Vancouver Island, which began in '1912 was not 
 finally terminated until August, 1914. In August, 1913, a partial settlement was 
 effected (see 1913), and in March, 1914, the Western Fuel Company made an agree- 
 ment with its then employees on conditions involving an increase in wages approxi- 
 mating ten per cent on those paid under the agreement in force when the strike of 
 May 1 began at the Nanaimo, South Wellington and Jinglepot mine. The new agree- 
 ment was made terminable on October 1, 1916. During the month of June it was 
 announced that the Union Mine Workers' organization had found it necessary to 
 cease supporting the'^rike on Vancouver Island, it being generally understood that 
 the amount which had been paid out by the organization for the relief of strikers from 
 the inception of the trouble in September, 1912, approximated one and a half million 
 
22 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR^ CANADA 
 
 dollars. This situation and the outbreak of the European war in August no doubt 
 increased the disposition of the strikers to bring about a working agreement with the 
 operators. 
 
 Another important strike which began in 1913, that of shoe machine workers at 
 Quebec, in which over 3,000 operatives were affected, was settled in February, 1914, 
 through a conference of the parties brought about by an officer of the Department of 
 Labour and a committee of citizens. The dispute commenced in the latter part of 
 December, 1913, and affected about 3,000 employees in shoe manufacturing establish- 
 ments operated by members of the Quebec Shoe Manufacturers' Association. The 
 employees concerned were members of the Canadian Federation of Shoe Workers 
 (leather cutters), the Federation of Boot and Shoe Workers (machinists), and 
 the Boot and Shoe Workers' Union (shoe lasters). During October, 1918, 
 notices were posted in various factories setting forth the conditions on which 
 such factories would be opened. The terms of the employers were gener- 
 ally accepted at the time by the employees. In December, however, employees in 
 two establishments objected to the employment of a non-unionist and went on strike. 
 The factories affected were those of the John Ritchie Company ^nd Messrs. Gale 
 Brothers, employing about 220 hands. At the end of December all the members of the 
 Shoe Manufacturers' Association decided to close their establishments, owing to the 
 fact that their employeas had refused to sign individually the agreement governing 
 conditions of employment. The effect of this decision was to cause an almost com- 
 plete cessation of work in this industry in Quebec, the only establishments running 
 being those operated by firms which were not members of the Shoe Manufacturers' 
 Association. Nearly 3,000 operatives were directly affected by this dispute, which 
 caused some loss of time in other lines, particularly among leather workers and box 
 makers. By the terms of the agreement the men were not required to sign individual 
 contracts, but it was arranged that a committee of three representatives from each 
 of the unions interested should sign for them. To ensure fulfilment of the contract a 
 monetary penalty of $600 was fixed, $200 from each union. In case of non-fulfilment 
 of the terms of the contract the money to be confiscated for the use of the Shoe Manu- 
 facturers' Association. Provision was also made for the hearing of individual griev- 
 ances. Any employee having such w^as required to make a deposit of $25 before the 
 case could be heard by the Board of Arbitration, the party in default to bear the cost^ 
 of the hearing. Another clause provided that the unions interested should secure legal 
 recognition by incorporation as soon as possible. 
 
 Only two strikes affecting miners commenced during the year 1914 — coal miners 
 at JNordegg,';Alta., and metal miners at Cobalt. The former dispute occurred on 
 June 10 and affected directly 300 miners and indirectly 600 employed by the Brazeau 
 Collierie.s, Limited. The employees were negotiating for an agreement and suspended 
 operations pending an adjustment. The dispute was terminated by an agreement 
 between District 18 of the United Mine Workers of America and the Brazeau Col- 
 lieries, Limited, dated July 1, 1914, and to continue in effect until March 31, 1915. 
 The agreement followed practically the lines of the then existing agreement between 
 District 18 and the Western Coal" Operators' Association with some amendments. 
 
 The strike of silver miners at Cobalt, in which some seventy-five miners in the. 
 employ of the Coniagas mine were affected, arose over a dispute as to a computation 
 of the eight-hour day which went into effect January 1, 1914, as the result of legis- 
 lation enacted by the Ontario Legislature. The matter was adjusted a few days after 
 the dispute occurred and the men returned to work. 
 
 Of a number of strikes in the building trades may be mentioned strikes of car- 
 penters at Montreal, Que., and at London, Ont. The strikes at Montreal arose out of 
 the alleged unwillingness of contractors concerned to comply with an agreement made 
 in 1912, and also in regard to questions affecting increased wages and shorter hours. 
 A fair wage officer of the Department of Labour visited the locality and both parties 
 to the dispute were induced to submit the matters in question to a Board of Concilia- 
 tion under the Industrial Disputes Investigation Act. The strike commenced June 
 
STMKES AND LOCKOUTS IN CANADA, 1901-1916 23 
 
 1, and the men returned to work June 15, pending a reference to the Board, The 
 Board was constituted on June 23 and made, its report July 17. As a result of the 
 proceedings before the Board an agreement was reached between the parties, by which 
 the men gained the greater part of their demands. A copy of the agreement was 
 printed in the August, 1914, issue of the Labour Gazette. About 1,000 employees were 
 affected by this strike. 
 
 The strike of carpenters at London began on the same date as the carpenters' 
 strike in Montreal. The objects of the strike were a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour, 
 a nine-hour day, union recognition and re-establishment of the apprentice system. 
 The; number of men involved was about 200. After a dispute of some six weeks' dur- 
 ation the men returned to work on July 30 at the rate of wages which existed before 
 the strike. 
 
 A strike of garment workers at Montreal which commenced in September, 1913, 
 and which affected about 400 employees and three firms, was settled during March, 
 1914. The cause of the strike in one establishment was a proposed reduction in 
 wages; in another shop it was alleged that work had been given out to non-union 
 hands at lower rates and in the third factory employees went out in sympathy with 
 the other strikers. The dispute virtually ended in March, 1914, although not officially 
 called off, the strikers securing employment in other factories. 
 
 A strike which affected about 1,000 employees of a cloak company at Toronto 
 began in March, the point at issue being apparently the introduction of the contract 
 labour system into the women's cloak and suit trade. Efforts were made without 
 success by the Trades and Labour Council of Toronto to effect settlement, and in May 
 4.') employees of another company went on strike for similar reasons. The strikers 
 were given strike pay by the unions concerned. At the outbreak of the war the strike 
 was closed without settlement in either establishment and a few weeks later one of 
 the companies closed its factory on account of business depression. 
 
 There was but one dispute during the year which could be said to be distinctly a 
 lockout, that of harness makers at Gananoque, which occurred in March, some 30 
 employees being affected. The cause of the dispute was the formation by the employees 
 of a labour organization affiliated with an international union. A fair wage officer of 
 the Department of LaTjour succeeded in bringing the parties together, but no settle- 
 ment was affected at the time. Later through the efforts of an arbitration committee 
 of the Gananoque Board of Trade, an agreement reported to be satisfactory to both 
 parties was arrived at and the men returned to work, without relinquishing member- 
 ship in their union. 
 
 The number of disputes referred for adjustment under the Industrial Disputes 
 Investigation Act_ during the year was 18, in one case the threatened strike was not 
 averted. 
 
 1915. 
 
 Disputes, 43; Employees, 9,140; Time Loss, 106,149 Days. 
 
 There were 38 new disputes in 1915 and five carried over from 1914, making a total 
 of 43 disputes in existence in the year. This was the lowest number of disputes 
 recorded in the history of the Department. The number recorded in 1914, namely, 44 
 was the previous low record. In the 43 disputes, 96 establishments and 9,140 employees 
 were affected, with an approximate loss of time of 106,149 working days. 
 
 In, the metal' trades there were 13 strikes, the greatest number recorded for a 
 single industry during the year. The loss of time was also heaviest in this industry, 
 40,812 days having been lost by 2,842 employees. Workers in the miscellaneous trades' 
 were involved in seven disputes and while there were only six disputes in mining, the 
 number of employees affected in this industry, 4,332, was greater than in any other. 
 
 Among the more important strikes may be mentioned a strike of coal miners at 
 Springhill, NjS. which affected about 1,125 work-people, and involved a time loss of 
 approximately 2,625 days. Strikes of some 2,500 asbestos miners at Thetford Mines- 
 
24 DEPARTMENT OP LABOUR^ CANADA 
 
 caused a time loss of 7,500 days, and a strike of coal miners at Drumheller, Alta., of a 
 few days' duration involved 200 men and caused a time loss of approximately 1,000 
 days. A strike of metal workers at New Glasgow, N.S., affected some 2,000 employees 
 for about four days and involved a time loss of approximately 8,000 days. This whicli 
 was the result of a misunderstanding was settled by a board of conciliatioii and arbitra- 
 tion. Under the Industrial Disputes Investigation Act. Longshoremen at Vancouver 
 to the number of 600 were concerned in a strike which lasted about a month and 
 involved a time loss of approximately 15,000 working days. 
 
 The number of disputes referred for adjustment under the Industrial Disputes 
 Investigation Act during the year was 15; in one case the threatened strike was not 
 averted. 
 
 1916. 
 
 Disputes, 75; Employees, 21,157; Time loss, 208,277 Days. 
 
 With pronounced activity in branches of manufacturing, supplying munitions of 
 war and other military supplies, in mining and lumbering, with the advance in the 
 cost of living and the gradual depletion of the supply of labour the demand for higher 
 wages was much stronger during 1916, and the number of industrial disputes increased. 
 The number of strikes in existence rose from 43 in 1915 to 75 in 1916, (one dispute was 
 carried over from 1915), and there was an increase in the time loss of 102,128 working 
 days. In transportation, which was the industry most affected, 19 strikes involving 33 
 concerns and 2,340 workers with a time loss estimated at 27,288 working days were 
 recorded. Fifteen strikes with a time loss of S3,133 working days and affecting 44 
 employees, were reported in the metals group. There were ten strikes in mining and 
 the number of workers involved (11,814) and the time loss (88,634 days), were greater 
 ihan in any other industry. Eleven strikes, involving l,17fi workers were reported in 
 the clothing and garment-making industry. There was seven strikes in the building and 
 food groups — and but one in woodworking. Two strikes occurred "in miscellaneous 
 skilled trades and three affected unskilled labour. 
 
 The most important strikes in- the transportation group, from the standxwint of 
 numbers and time loss, affected teamsters, 500 of whom at Montreal were on strike for 
 a week and nearly 400 at Toronto were out for two weeks. Strikes of teamsters also 
 occurred at Winnipeg and Hamilton. A demand for increased wages was the cause in 
 all cases and the disputes were settled by compromise. There were a number of disputes 
 affecting freight handlers, who in nearly all instances, went out for increased wages, 
 and for the most part were wholly or partially successful. 
 
 In the mining industry in which the loss of time was greatest, more than half the 
 loss was due to strikes in the Crow's Nest Pass district where miners were out on two 
 occasions, during July and August for a war bonus of 10 jper cent, and for about a 
 week at the end of November for a further war bonus of 25 per cent. In the first 
 strike a compromise was effected by which the men went back to work for an increase 
 of 8 per cent and in the second strike work was resumed pending an investigation by 
 the Government into the increased cost of necessaries in the coal mining districts 
 affected. 
 
 In the metals groups, which ranked second in the number of disputes and working 
 days lost, the most important disputes were centred at Hamilton and Esquimault. At 
 Hamilton 385 steel workers struck for increased wages but after being out about two 
 weeks went back to work unconditionally. Later at the same place but in different 
 establishments about 1,100 machinists struck for the nine hour day. Some of thev 
 strikers either returned to work or secured employment elsewhere and the number 
 affected at the end of the year when the dispute still remained unadjusted, was about 
 800. Machinists, boilermakers, blacksmiths and iron shipbuilders at Esquimault to the 
 number of 325 went out during August for the eight -hour day, which they obtained 
 after a strike of about three weeks. About the same time employees of another ship-

 yard, numbering approximately 260 struck against the employment of non-unionists, 
 but returned to work in a few days'when the persons objected to were dismissed. 
 
 The most important strikes in the clothing group occurred at Montreal where there 
 were thJ-ee strikes affecting over 800 employees. The first of these disputes occurred in 
 June on account of a proposed change in the piece-work system involving a reduction in 
 earnings. The strike was settled on terms favourable to the 'employees after they had 
 been out about a month. The question of union recognition was involved in the two 
 other disputes, the first of which affecting 250 employees, was settled in favour of the 
 eiiiployees ; the other strike was unsettled at the end of the year. 
 
 While there were seyen strikes in the building trades the numbers involved and 
 loss of time were comparatively unimportant. 
 
 Of the seven strikes reported in the foods groups, six concerned cigarmakers, and 
 in all cases except one (where the grievance was objection to a foreman) were for 
 increased wages. Hamilton, London, and Montreal were the localities affected, and in 
 every case the disputes terminated at the end of the year resulted in favour of the 
 employees. . ^ 
 
 Twenty-nine disputes were referred under the Industrial Disjhites Investigation 
 Act and in only one case was the threatened strike not averted.
