The old employees at Ludwig Rossers
wagon factory at Arlof are on a strife,
and new ones are doing the work. But
the strikers have induced all organized
labor in the city to boycott all those
merchants who sell goods to the new
men. The merchants yielded to organ
lied labor and the "scabs" cannot obtain
the necessaries of life. The situation has
become so serious that the employers
have appealed to the government to
furnish provisions to the "scabs" and
their families.
Inc city OF Trelleborg is to have new

The rivers did not rise so high as usual
last spring. and low water has already

The battle over the governments army
reorganization bill is still on. The first
chamber has literally swallowed the bill
as whole, agreeing to II months
training by a vote of 81 to H. But that
chamber has also passed a number of
paragraphs. This body, however, by
vote of 119 to 1OS. committed itself in
favor of only months training for the
infantry and two or four more for the
rest of the army. At first Premier Won
Otter said that the government would
accept nothing less than IL months. But
shortly afterwards he spoke in such a
70 hot -, 3,
willing to take 10 or even months. The
volition of the premier on this point has
left the impression that he is too weak
any length Of time.

Gunnar Wennerberg. the creator of
"Gluntarne,' the famous collection of
students songs, has again been honored
by the Upsala students at their "spring
festival" For fifty years "Gluntarne"
have been sung by Scandinavian students
in all lands, and the Upsala "spring
festival Is becoming more and more i'm
presstve as year upon year is added to
the age Of Wennerberg. This year the
festival was attended by one thousand
admirers of the poet-musician, and the
program was chiefly musical. A few re-
marks made by Wennerberg himself
made a profound impression. He spoke
of the sadness resulting from the fact
that young men grow old. but he was
glad to see that the young people seemed
to become stronger at the university. He
also spoke of the heavenly genius Of
enthusiasm. The slaves of mammon, by
hammering their gong gongs. may drive
it back for time, but ever and ever it
returns, and when the young people set
their will on something they must sue
coed. His closing words were: God
bless you students!' The piece de re-
sistance of the festival is always the
carrying Of Wennerberg around in a
golden chair on the shoulders of the
students. This ceremony took place in
the university garden. All students pres
ent took part in it, and while Wenner-
berg rode on the shoulders of the rising
generation Of Swedens real rulers they
sang, Sjungom Studentens Qet us sing
of the students happy days..
A soldiers home has been dedicated at
Refvinge.
