...quarters not heard from before and most from places where labor is presenting difficulties. Little mention is made of the great number of strikes being called because of disputes between labor leaders, where the employer has not been informed of anything but of the strike itself. In the knit goods industry in New York City, the workers were called out and lost a week to date to learn which of two unions had jurisdiction. It could have been decided while the work was going on.
