| Notes: Northwest Regional Council, Published 1942. Wraps, 32 pp. plus 5 preliminary leaves; 27 cm; staple bound; illustrated with statistical tables and color pictograph charts. In Good condition. Blue and white illustrated paper wraps, staple bound, with light bumping and creasing to the edges and corners, mild color loss along the edges and spine, and faint sticker residue at the upper right of the front cover. Binding tight. Interior mildly toned, otherwise unmarked, with occasional foxing and spotting, heavier on a few leaves. A New Deal-era statistical study of labor unrest in the Pacific Northwest across the turbulent years 1927 to 1940, issued by the Northwest Regional Council in cooperation with the Bonneville Power Administration and the Pacific Northwest Regional Planning Commission as part of the federal regional-planning effort surrounding Columbia River power development. Drawing on U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, it charts the number, size, and duration of strikes by year and industry, the lumber and maritime trades and the West Coast waterfront dominating the record, and compares the region against Michigan, Pennsylvania, and the nation. The findings are presented in pictograph charts in the Isotype manner, each repeated symbol standing for a fixed number of strikes, workers, or man-days lost, a picture-statistics method developed by Otto Neurath. Contents: Preface; Foreword; Significant Findings; Strikes in the Pacific Northwest; Strikes in Industries; Comparison of Strikes in the Pacific Northwest with Other Areas; Appendix I, The Material; Appendix II, Statistical Tables. | |||||||||||||
