THE SWEDISH STRIKE.
By John Sandgren, Delegate of the Swedish
Workers to America.

When the Swedish Employers asso-
citation this summer initiated the
series Of lockouts. first Of 1000 mon.
then so. 1000, then 10000, with the ad-
ditional threat Of general lockout,
il was not for the purpose Of forcing
through tho wage reductions. which
on the surface were the original
cause OF the trouble. Their purpose
in making these reductions undc-
ceptabIe wus to force the organized
swedish working class into a final
battle which should break II to pieces
while IL was still possible to do so.
With great worry the capitalist
class not only of sweden. Finland,
Norway and Denmark hut Of all Eu-
rope has been noticing the gigantic
strides with which the working-class
| movement uf those countries has ad-
vanced during the last few years.
With sorrow the capitalist class Of
| Europe contcmplatcs the fact that in
Finland. where the parliament con-
sists of only one chamber, the Social
| lists now lack only l6 of a majority.
while the organizations on the eco
nomic field are growing apace. No
smaller calamity threatens the eN-
ploitors in Denmark. where hardly a
year passes without the workers con-
quering one stronghold after another,
In Norway they have to 50 completely

The swedish capitalist class has al
ready suffered tremendously in "a
financial way through the general
stoppog" OF work and through the
enormous expenses Incidental To the

association. had slip OF the tongue

to make it lie about the cause Of the
Swedish workers.
Another heavy blow the financial
interests of sweden suffered on the
first OF October. ON that day the
quarterly rents for October. Noyem-
Der and December fell due; rents So
high that hardly any country has
seen anything approaching it. Natur-
ally very few, II any, of the workers
paid their rents. The legal owners of
the tenemcnts will not bc able to pay
the interest on the MORTGAGES To the
real owners, that is. the banks. The
effect OF this will De widespread. as
very few Of Sweden's workers live i'm

In spite OF all these financial losses

continue the struggle. In answer To

Democratic Institutions
Are ASSai|ed.
Police Use Hose to Silence Voice of
the Workers -Populace is Indig=
nant and Attack Officer.

The city government of Missoula,
the police the authorities, are making
first-class fools of themselves in their
efforts 10 violate the United States
constitution, turn the American gov
ernment upside down, become cen-
sors OF public speech and keep the
1. w. w. doctrines from being pro-
claimed.
in other words, the capitalist gov
crnmcnt of Missoula has plunged into
the trap OF forcibly controlling the
protest and activity Of the workers.
and of upsetting all the guarantees Of
democracy to do so.
Campaign for Indusirialism.
The Industrial Workers of the
World brought their speaker into
Missoula and began campaign Tor

aation of the workers i'm order to get

p,ish the drones out of the way and
have the product of their toll for

Tree speech Constitutional.
They know that the American con-
stitution gives them the right to talk
q the street. Free speech is one oil
the rocks on which the American gov
crnment is founded. People have
right to express what opinions they
please. IL anyone feels injured by tho
opinions that another expresses ht
has the right to appeal to a court OF
adjudication. but he has no right tc
take the law into his own hands.
The police of Missoula are not law
makers. neither are the gentry OF TN

that hold office. These would-be ar
biters Of the United states govern

They don't believe i'm this system
They dcspise and detcst 1t, and they
are taking every lawful means TO over

Police Violate Law.
Instead of stopping the Industrial
lists issued a call through their paper
issued at Spokane for all the /. w. w,
members that could possibly do so to
quit tn FIR jobs and come 10 Missoula
and push the fight
The police kept making arrests.
The speakers stood on their rights
and demanded jury trials. When the
lauthoritics came up against this they
were n, nplusscd and turned them out
But they kept on speaking. The Of
ficials thought they could dispose of
the matter quietly at first They
| knew they were violating their au-
thority, the law, the constitution and
everything that makes democratic
government. But they thought they
were dc aling with few poor igno'
| rant workers that they could awe and
club into submission the way they dc

brutality.
Officials Up Against Organization
But they were barking up the
wrong tree when they came M
against the Industrial Workers, They
were up against an organized move
ment y ith a purpose. The speakers
had worked for three weeks before
he police got busy, AS long as 4
thing was small and not attracting
much attention theyy felt no call t'
