STRIKE SPREADS
IN STOCKHOLM
Clashes Between LabOrerS
And Troops in the Swedish
Capital

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
STOCKHOLM, Aug. 6.-Lawlessness is
rapidly gaining the upper hand in the
Swedish strike. Following night in
which an unprecedented number OF burg
laries were committed in the city, there
were several clashes to-day between the
strikers and troops.
SO far the absence Of drunkenness. due
TO prohibition order, and the efforts OF the
labor leaders to preserve order have pre-
vented actual bloodshed. but each succeed
ing clash becomes more serious.
The epidemic of burglaries and hold-uns
is due TO the cutting on Of the gas and
electric light service. The city was in al-
most total darkness last night, even
though soldiers we're stationed at the
lighting plants The authorities promise
TO have a satisfactory lighting service es-
tablishod within few hours.
Within IS hours there will be acute suf-
fering for want of food unless the situa-
tion is relieved. The pcrishablo food sup
plies have already been exhausted. Al
ready the city authorities are discussing
the best means to ward of starvation
from the poor people.
The railroad employees have promised
tho strike committee they Will walk oul
Monday. This VIII accentuate the fooC
situation as the only hope OF relieving th'
city is to bring in speedily large stores
OF food from the outside. The city stocl
OF food is practically depleted.

SETBACK TO
THE INCOME TAX
Georgia State Senate Refuses
TO Consider The Proposed
Amendment

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Senators who
led in the contest to have Congress sub
NIT the income tax amendment to the con-
stitution to the states regretted but were
not greatly surprised by the setback IT
received in the Georgia Legislature. The
Empire State of the South has from the
first been regarded as dangerous ground.
While the question Of submitting this
amendment was pending in the Senate the
argument was made repeatedly that pos
SCISSORS of great incomes might kill the
proposed addition to the constitution by
causing States 10 withhold their approval
Small, rich states and others in which the
wealthy WELD strong and active infiu-
ence in politics were looked upon as the
danger points. Refusal Of dozen States 10
approve the amendment would defeat it,.
I'm the lists made up by Senators Of States
where strong opposition might be expected
Georgia was always included.
The Georgia Senate by a vote Of iI to
. yesterday decided TO take no action on
the amendment at the present session.
The arguments were that the state might
itself wish to levy an income tax and that
if one were assessed by the government
it would only provide more money for
Congress to waste. Members who invoked
tho Democratic platform declarations in
faor of an income tax made no impression
on the legislators.
The Alabama legislation approved the
amendment early in the week by unani-
nous vote
The friends Of the amendment are still
hopeful that within two years the 18th
amendment will have been added to the
constitution.
