Already, he added, he had obtained
many valuable hints from the men
with whom he worked. The de-
termination Of King Gustaf to learn
OF the condition of the workingmen by
mingling with them and taking part
in their labors has resulted from the
recent great tieup of the business life
of the country by a general strike.
King Gustaf interviewed last August in
an endeavor to secure a compromise,
but without avail The strike contin-
ued for months and involved thou
sands of men and has not been settled
to this very day.
That repressive legislation directed
at the labor unions may be expected
OF the riksdag this winter is the opin-
ion of Valfrid Spongberg, editor of the
Svenska Folkets, the semi-weekly
radical newspaper, which stood almost
alone in Sweden as a supporter of the
strikers cause. Mr.. Spongberg, while
not socialist, is regarded by the
workers as one of the leading cham
pions, and the typographers' unions
have voted an appropriation of $4,000
crowns to help him turn his paper into
a daily. Mr.. Spongberg said to news
paper representative recently in regard
to the recent strike and the outlook at
present: "Of course labor has not
gained anything this time 1t is i'm
possible for the men to secure better
conditions for while and there will
be less work this winter, so it may be
difficult indeed to find employment.
Many have emigrated and many will
do so later. The unions, which had
much money in their treasures before
the strike, have little or nothing now.
The trouble now is not without it's
benefits to the workers. It will be
found in the future that the manufac-
turers will not make use of great lock-
outs to force the men to do their way.
The most important purpose the work.
ers had in the strike was to stop the
manufacturers from using the lockout
Though the workers have not been
able to force the manufacturers to
agree that lockouts will cease, just the
same in the future they will not be
seen. In the past many contracts
have conceded employers the right to
lockout and the men the right to
strike. The men have not liked this,
but could not help it. Now one lock-
out experience has been very costly
for the employers and they will not
soon repeat it,
knut Sigfrid Flodin, we'll Nnown
Stockholm publisher, died Nov. IL,
aged eighty-three years. He has for
many years been regarded as one of
the foremost book publishers in Stock
holm and he made his fortune in the
business. Few men have been so we'll
known and respected as Sigfrid Flo
din and the books that have been pub
ished at his plant run up into the
hundreds and thousands. He was 4
very generous hearted man and was
always willing to do something for the

900 crowns to keep Stockholm clean

DEN MARK,

A Copenhagen paper states that or
ders have been issued from ST. Pc
tersburg for the immediate erection
throughout Finland of Russian bar
racks to accommodate the horde of
Cossacks that have poured over the
border to insure the subjugation of
Finland. The Firms have resigned
themselves to period of neavy op-
preston, but throughout the entire
country there apparently is a de-
termination to make fight against
the Cossacks to the bitter end. Thou
sands of Cossacks have been se1ft from
various garrisons in Russia and the
situation in Finland is becoming very
serious indeed. In Copenhagen the
Finnish situation is viewed with in
tense interest and the sympathy Of
Danes in general are with the Films,
although the Danish royal house bears
such relations to the imperial house
in ST. Petersburg. Many people in
Copenhagen are openly expressing the
wish that the Films would be able to
master the situation, and as for Swe-
den, had she no labor troubles on her
hands at present it might have been
possible that there would have been
hundreds of Swedes who would have
enlisted incognito in the Finnish ranks
and help the Films to hold their own
against the fierce Russian Cossacks.
Rector Torp Of the University of
Copenhagen, Chancellor salomonsen
and Professor Ellis Stromgren have
been delegated to receive the north
polar records of Dr. Frederick A.

These records have been brought tn

AS soon as the papers are in the pos
session of these men a consistory will
be held at which a committee of ex-
animation will be appointed. The
president of this committee will be
Professor Stromgren. The other mem
bers will be made up of scientists and
