A History of Organized Felony and Folly Just how much wage-earners are benefitted by union restrictions on output will be manifest from a comparison of the percentages of idle in open shop and closed shop cities. About 11,000,000 persons in this countiy derive their livelihood from the building industry—that is, they are workers or members of workers' families. It is estimated that 50% of all the bond issues—state, municipal, railroad and industrial—are for construction of some sort, and building has always been regarded as a kind of pivotal industry. The Department of Labor presented to the National Unemployment Conference in October, 1921, the number of unemployed in many cities. The use of these figures for the thirty cities in the first table shows 126% more unemployment in cities where building is closed shop than in cities where the industry is on the open shop basis. The figures in detail follow: Building—Open Shop Per Cent, of Town Idle Population Population Idle Duluth 7,000 98,917 7.1 Detroit 50,000 993,678 5.0 Akron 9,550 208,435 4.6 Milwaukee 20,600 457,147 4.5 St. Paul 9,500 234,595 4.0 Oklahoma City 3,210 91,258 3.5 Richmond 5,300 171,667 3.1 Atlanta 5,200 200,616 2.6 Salt Lake City 2,860 118,110 2.4 Seattle 7,240 315,652 2.3 Spokane 2,437 104,437 2.3 Los Angeles 10,950 576,073 1.9 San Antonio 2,515 161,379 1.6 Grand Rapids 2,000 137,634 1.5 Minneapolis 5,000 380,582 1.3 143,362 4,250,180 SA 85
