SWEDISH STRIKE
IS A FAILURE
Employers Are Making Their
Own Terms And Losses
Are Heavy
BY United Press Leased Special Wire.


STOCKHOLM, Aug. 25.-Criticism
of the conduct of the general strike
which is now practically collapsed, by
Swedish union laborers. is so wide
spread and bitter that there is today
fear of a disruption of many Of the
strongest unions in the federated body.
Instead of gaining an advantage for
the workmen, the strike has resulted
in big losses. Employers are making
their own terms as the men return to
work and are forcing wages down Ia
the lowest possible living figure. Con-
tracts are almost invariably refused.
What makes the wOrkmen particu-
larly incensed is that the strike was
called at a time when the employers.
by reason of supplies on hand that far
exceeded the demand were well able
to stand an interruption in business.
The strike was really not so much a
strike at any time as a lockout. II
was as a lock out that it began. some
thing like 100000 men being forced out.
The labor unions feared that the en-
ployers association intended shortly to
let out double this number and they
resolved to take the aggressive.
II is generally conceded now that
this action was the height of folly. The
employers are now working TO break
up unionism in Sweden and it is pos
sble that they will succeed i'm effect
ing a serious disorganization but the
labor leaders say this will only be tenn
porary.

Daniel Maier. one of wilmington's
best known German citizens. is re-
covering from severe attack of
gangrene in his right foot. An oper-
alton was performed recently by Drs.
John Palmer and William II. Kraemer,
since which time the patient has been

About a year ago Mr.. Maier bruised
his foot, but it healed. Four weeks
ago he picked up a common house
tack the point of which passed through
the sole of his shoe and scratched his
foot. Several days later the foot be-
gan to swell and gangrene set in. The
operation arrested the advance OF the
disease and it is now expected that
the patient will be able TO be about
within a short time.

WILL EXHUME

Examination to be Made TO
Throw Light on his
Death

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. Aug 25.-The grave OF
Lieutenant James n. Sutton, In the Ar
lington National Cemetery. will be open
ed either tomorrow Of Friday, and the
body OF the former marine corps officer
win be disinterred and a thorough ex-
animation will be made.
Permission ha been granted Mrs. SUIT
ton by the Quartermaster General. II al
so developed today that Cardinal Gibbons
has intimated to the family that when
young sutton's body is reinterred at Ar
lington, the full Catholic ceremony will
be performed and the ground consecrat-
ed according to the rites Of the church.
BY the autopsy Mrs. Sutton Is convinc-
ed that hwer contention that the young
officer wasmaltreated by hiss fellow offi-
GERS before his death, and that his right
arm. which the naval board Of inquiry de-
clared held the revolver which caused his
death was broken during the fight be-
fore the fatal shot was fired. will be pro-
ven beyond doubt. SO firmly does she
believe that her claims arc founded on
the fact that her lawyers have privately
expressed the opinion that such an ex-
animation will give them sufficient evil
dence to bring the question Of the manner
in which the Lieutenant met his death be-
fore the Civil Courts. or demand a con-
gressional hearing.
The autopsy viii be performed privately
at Arlington, probably by Lieutenant Col
onel Le Cards. now in charge Of the U.
S. Medical Museum. The government
will be represented, and Mrs. sutton like
wise. Immediately after the examination
the body will be reinterred at Arlington.
When seen today Mrs. Sutton refused IA
discuss the new features Of the case, be-
yond expressing her happiness that her
son would at last be buried in consecrated

PAY ROLL NOT
HELD UP BY ROSS
Refused to Sign Checks That
We're in Dispute. Says
Clerk Lednum

Instead Of James Kane. chairman Of
the finance committee of City Council.
being called upon yesterday to sign
the citys miscellaneous payroll it de-
veloped to-day that Mr. Kane had
signed only those checks which How
ard d. Ross had refused to sign be-
cause of the dispute growing out of
the recent city election. 1t was ex-
planned at the treasurer's office this
morning that before leaving the city
Mr.. Ross had signed forty-one of the
hfty-three checks comprising the
miscellaneous payroll. The remaining
twelve checks were those payable to
elective and appointive officers under
the present city administration, and as
the legal status of these officials has
not been determined Mr.. Ross has been
directed by the company which holds
his bond not to pay out any city money
on these accounts. Among the salaries
so held up is that of Mayor Spruance.
The new mayor. however, will obtain
his August salary now that Mr.. Kane
has signed the check.
'The impression that Mr. Ross
absence from the city had delayed
payment Of the entire miscellaneous
payroll does this Office a grave in
Justice" said William H. Lednum.
clerk to Mr.. Ross. this morning. 1.-THE
only checks Mr.. Ross refused to sign
we're those in dispute. This Office can
be depended upon to do only what is
proper. We have no desire to with
hold salaries from any OF those city
officials whose right 10 the money is
not under dispute. Mr.. Ross signed
every check he had a lawful right to
sign and that is the whole story. That
he held up the payroll. as some people
declare. is mistake" Mr.. Lednum
continued.

PICK BLERIOT
AS FAVORITE

Will be at the French Avia-

NO FLYING THIS MORNING
ON THE PLAINS OF BETHANY
BY United Press Leased Special Wire.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
RHEIMS, Aug. 25-Louis Bleriot is
to-day the favorite for the Coupe In
ternational which is to be sailed Satur-
day His feat late last evening IN
circling the 1-5 mile course IN
minutes 4 2-3 seconds, or 81 seconds
faster than Glenn II. Curtiss made
the round in his Golden Flyer the
day before, has caused the ever-varl-
able Frenchmen to pick Bleriot as the
winner in the big event.
The only thing to mar the happiness
OF Bleriots friends is the quiet, de-
termined statement of Curtiss, just af-
ter Bleriot had made his record, that
he (Curtiss) would yet circle the course
in s minutes or better. AS Curtiss
is not given to boasting, the French
men fear that his bi-plane has not yet
been put to its limit.
Though to-day's program lacked the
attraction of President Fallieres pres
cnce, the crowd was nearly as large as
on yesterday. The second round Of
flights in the contest for the PriX de la
Champagne-for distance-was among
the events scheduled for to-day.
Royalty was represented on the Plain
of Bethany today by Prince Albert OF
Belgium. who took an active interest
in everything that was going on. Crown
Prince Friedrich Wilhelm of Germany,
IS expected to come this evening and
rs he is known to be a sport-loving
young man. it is probable that some
of the aviators will take great chances
TO establish new records.
Offers for the "Golden Flyer"
Curtiss continues to receive attrac-
tive offers for his aeroplane and it is
probable that he will return to Amer
lea without the machine. Many of
those who have seen the Golden Flyer"
consider it the best machine yet de-
veloped. when speed and stability are
both considered.
A high wind again interfered with
the early flights, an r. e. p. machine
being the only one that ventured out.
II made a short flight. The indications
are that the wind will die down in
the late afternoon as it did yesterday
The committee today cautioned the
aviators against taking such needless
chances as NJ Paulham did yesterday
when he flew three times around the
J course at height varying from zoe
10 $50 feet in the face Of a heavy
wind. Paulham admits that he took
this chance Just to 'show off" before
President Falleries. The committee Is
afraid that a repetition of such dare
devil tactics will result in a tragic mis-
hap
A noteworthy feature Of the meeting
so far has been that none has beer
injured, though there have been as
many as seven machines flying around
the course at the same time.
