OUR EXPORT TRADE
HURT BY BRITISH
EXPANSION OF RAPIDLY
GROWING BUSINESS.
Shipments That Formerly Went to
Europe Via Hamburg Have Gone
to Sweden Since Start Of
the War.

Stockholm, Sweden.-Notwiths
ng the many obstacles with which
hey meet, representatives of Amer
ican exporting concerns here are en-
ieavoring to maintain trade relations
between the United States and Swe-
den so as to be in position to take
advantage of the permanent opportuni'
ties expected with the conclusion of
European peace.
Prior to the war, America played an
almost negligible part in the trade OF
Sweden, export and import alike. Dur
ing the fiscal year ended June 80, 1915,
imports from the United States, how
ever, took a leap which carried them
up more than 600 per cent above the
normal Then came the tightening Of
the British blockade and the Swedish
war trade act which prohibits an i'm
porter from giving guarantees to Great
Britain covering goods bought in the
United States or other neutral coun.
tries. Under these adverse influences
the trade has rapidly declined, the
American imports for the first three
months of 1916 having amounted only
to S12,213,590 against $41,943,301 in
1915. Although the figures are not
available here it is said the trade OF
more recent months has shown sim
liar or even greater falling off. The
Sewdish government has adopted the
policy of not announcing export or inn
port figures during the war and 1t Is
regarded as misdemeanor to ask for
them. In February, 1916, the imports
from the United States amounted to
little more than $2,000,000 against
more than $13,000,000 year ago. In
March the decline was from eighteen
millions in 1915 to four millions in
1916.
Enormous as was the increase in
American imports during the fiscal
year ended June 30. 1915, the first six
months of the 1916 fiscal year eclipsed
former figures for a similar period by
nearly 100000.
England contended that these enor
nous imports from America meant one
of two things-either that they were
going to Germany through Sweden OF

ORGANIZER BEATEN BY MOB.
Western Federation Organizer Elected
From Copper Field.

Copper Hill, Tenn.-Guy T.. Miller of
Denver, organizer for the Western
Federation of Miners, was seized by a
mob as he returned from a meeting
near here Saturday and was taken to
the outskirts of the town, whipped
and ordered to leave.
j. A. Jones, Miller's local assistant,
was taken from his room in a hotel,
marched through the streets at the
head of a crowd and forced to swear
that he would leave town on the next
train. He left.
The trouble arose when citizens and
members of trades unions affiliated
with the American Federation of La
Dor objected to the attempt of West
ern Federation of Miners to gain u
control of the labor situation in the
copper fields near here. Miller had
led the effort to organize the mine
workers in opposition to the United
Mine Workers of America, who have
been supported by what is said to be
majority of business men in the
Tennessee copper fields.
