Collapse of Strike.

Stockholm, Aug. 12.-Tne Employer
Association is in such complete sscen-
daucy today 10 the Swedish strike that
it refused the G Ter of a group of leaders
of lode p sndent political parties to nego-
tiate a settlement on the basis OF the
return of the strikers under old condi-
tOns.
The Employers Association declared
that 1t was already the winner aud
would make its own terms 10 dealing
with those who wished to return to work.
The rejection of the offer indicates that
the strikers will be fortunate II they
are not actually forced to lose ground as
result Of he strike.
Forty per cent. of the strikers have
already returned to work, aud this num-
Der, with the army of strike-breakers,
is proving sufficient to run all the in-
dustries on practically normal basis
The prohibition of the sale Of intoxl-
cants during the strike has had such
a beneficial result in preventing law.
Iessuess that there is strong agitation
today in favor of making the prohibition
permanent
