NOTES.-(1) In some instances, where work ceased and was resumed on the same day the number of ship-days los
may be overstated: in other instances, however, ships may have been affected but were not reported.
(2) This statement does not include the particulars of the Canadian ships which have been allowed to remai idle in British ports in order to avoid strikes (e.g., the Seaboard Queen was immobilised in Leith fo 14 days after the men resumed work on the 19th May and then she sailed for Bremen where her carg was discharged).
