These two years of unprecedented field activity were naturally years of growth in membership. This is more especially true of 1912 than of 1913, during the latter part of which a decline set in. The membership was at its high tide in 1912 after the Lawrence strike. The I. W. W. then boasted more than 18,000 members.[674] Never since that time has it reached that point nor had it previously, unless we include the W. F. M. in the membership for 1905. There was also during both years a net increase in the number of locals in the organization. During the year ending August 31, 1913, two hundred and thirty-six new locals were organized, and during the same period one hundred were disbanded. The new locals were organized in largest numbers in the lumber, textile, and metal and machinery industries. Thirty were "mixed" locals.[675] In the following table is a complete list of these new and defunct locals classified to show the number gained and lost in each industry: TABLE 4 Number of local unions organized and disbanded during the year ending August 31, 1913, classified by industries as reported.[676] _Industry_ _Organized_ _Disbanded_ Agricultural 1 2 Amusement 1 ..
