More than half the 1,170 strikes occurring in agricultural occupations for the period covered by the above table were in the year 1901, the next largest number taking place in the succeeding year. The next table shows data for lockouts for a period of 25 years and includes agricultural disturbances. LOCKOUTS IN ITALY, BY YEARS, 1879 TO 1903. a Not reported. From this table it appears that lockouts are of comparatively infrequent occurrence in Italian industries. The average length varies from a single day in 1880 to a little above two weeks in 1897 and 1903. In the next table the strikes occurring within the period 1892 to 1903 are classified according to the industries affected. Results are shown for nearly all the strikes reported, as well as the number of strikers engaged. Strikes in agricultural employments are not included. RESULTS OF STRIKES IN INDUSTRIES OTHER THAN AGRICULTURE IN ITALY, BY INDUSTRIES, 1892 TO 1903. Textile industries lead in the number both of strikes and strikers. In only three groups-those of mining and quarrying, wood working, and transportation-does the number of successful strikes equal the number of those that failed. The totals show, as in the case of the table for the longer period on page 894, that the number of strikes succeeding partly slightly exceeds the number that failed, which in turn is considerably larger than the total number of successful strikes. In the following tables are presented the strikes occurring within the same period as the above, showing the strikes and strikers for each year separately, in the same industry groups as were used in the foregoing table: STRIKES AND STRIKERS IN INDUSTRIES OTHER THAN AGRICULTURE IN ITALY, BY YEARS AND INDUSTRIES, 1892 TO 1903. STRIKES AND STRIKERS IN INDUSTRIES OTHER THAN AGRICULTURE IN ITALY. BY YEARS AND INDUSTRIES, 1892 TO 1903-Concluded. The two tables following show for industries other than agriculture the strikes occurring from 1879 to 1903, classified first by days of duration and second by number of strikers involved. The data for the years 1879 to 1891, inclusive, are combined, those for subsequent years being shown separately.

But 4.8 per cent lasted more than 30 days. Of the 5,221 strikes considered in the second table, 34 per cent involved from 1 to 49 employees, an additional 20.4 per cent falling in the next class, so that 54.4 per cent of all the strikes involved fewer than 100 employees each. The last series of tables presented for strikes in Italy show for industries other than agriculture the number of strikes each year from 1879 to 1903 for which results are reported, together with the number of employees involved in the strikes that succeeded, those that succeeded partly, and those that failed. These are classified according to the four principal causes, other causes being grouped under a fifth general head. The tables follow: CAUSES AND RESULTS OF STRIKES IN ITALY, BY YEARS, 1879 TO 1903. |
