[By Associated Press. ]

OTOCKHOLM, Aug. 8.-The tie-up of
the business of the country as a
~ result of the strike is so serious
that King Gustaf intervened in an en-
deayOr to secure a compromise.
The king today sent a message to the
parties to the conflict exhorting them
| to agree at the earliest possible mo-
ment and advising arbitration.
1t was after King Gustafs message
had been read and approved at a cab
met meeting that he summoned to the
palace the two leaders of the warning
factions-Director Won Sydow of the
employers and Senator Lindquist pres
ident of the Federation of Trades
Unions, for a conference.
The result of this conference has not
geen given, but apparently the kings
| efforts for a peaceful solution of the
trouble went for naught, for tonight it
was announced the printers would
strike tomorrow and the National Labor
| union has issued a proclamation that
| beginning tomorrow morning every
| dray whose driver is not wearing a
union badge will be stopped by strikers.
Will Make No Exceptions
No exception, it was stated, will be
made for owners driving their own
wagons.
The union further threatens to frus-
| trate the attempt of the Stockholm
street car company to start its cars on
the important lines.
More than 1000 telephone and tele-
graph employees will strike Wednesday.
| The Employers association is paying
out $4,000 daily to support it's weaker

The cash in the associations treasury
is sufficient to keep up this support for
| three weeks, and when the funds in the
treasury are exhausted the association
| has a reserve fund of $4,500000 which
may be used. The strikers daily are re-
ceiving large contributions from Dem
mark.
A prominent journalist, Gustafson
has been summoned to court by the
public prosecutor, charged with crime
against the penal code, that of exhort-
ing the employees of the state railway

The comet discovered by him last

MIR. Daniel said:
"Of course, while the new comet
appears about three times as large
as the earth, according to measure
ments estimated from the computa-
tion Of its orbit, 1t doesn't contain
one-thousandth part of the matter
or solids which the earth does. Gas
es and vapors appear to make up a
large part of It. Yet 1t seems to
have a star-like nucleus.
I'VE know its orbit now and from
what we have determined its distance
from the sun and from the earth, its
diameter, which is about $4,000
miles. and that It was at perihelion
or nearest the sun on December
last. about a whole day before it was
discovered"
