Chicago, Jan 31-Declaring that
Sweden would as soon burn down
one of her large cities as to take part
in Finnish difficulties" Edwin Bjork-
man of New York. representing the
committee on public information, to-
day commented on London reports
that Sweden is believed to have inter
vened in the civil war in Finland.
The Swedish people want to see
Finland free" he declared, but they
wish to have nothing to do with Fin
nish difficulties. They do not intend
to take any part in any internal Fin
nish affair.""
London, Jan. 31.-Finland is going
through a social revolution similar in
aims to the November revolution in
Petrograd. says the Petrograd core
spondent of the Daily News in de-
scribing the Finnish situation. Three
Finnish steamers arrived in Stockholm
on Wednesday. One of them reports
wild scenes and extreme misery among
the population in Abo and Viborg. An
archy almost beyond description seems
to prevail everywhere, according to
these reports.
Beyond preparing to send Swedish
warships to take out any endangered
Swedish subjects, Sweden seems al
present to contemplate no interior
ence in Finnish affairs.

Labor Trouble
in Berlin Seen
as CQn1OuflQqe

London. Jan. 31.-Among the views
expressed in special dispatches from
Holland in regard to the German
strike is one that the German govern
ment is exploiting what hardly
amounts to more than a peace time
demonstration with the object, If pos
sible, of producing a more serious
movement in allied countries where 1t
apparently believes the governments
are less able than itself to control
such movements
Another correspondent gathers from
the German press that the German
government intends to make the strike
movement pretext for breaking off
the Brest-Litovsk negotiations and is
ascribing it to the Vaccinations of the
BOlsheviki with when, therefore, it
would be impossible to hold further
conferences.
The semi-official Nordeautsche ALL
gemeine Zeitung, commenting on the
political aims of the strike committee,
warns the strikers that they will
achieve nothing by their action in ref
erence to the negotiations at Brest-
Litovsk. Instead Of furthering the
peace movement, it says, the strikers
will prejudice the negotiations and en-
courage her enemies to resist Ger
many's just claims. The newspaper
adds that the government expects the
strikers as the result of calm consid-
Grafton to realize the foolishness of
their attitude and resume work.

MILLIONS MORE
| IN WAGES ASKED
Increases Sought BY Railroad Work.
ers Average 40 Per Cent-TOtal
Half MILLION Yearly.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Demands for
wage increases pending befor the rail-
road wage commission are for an ag-
gregate average OF 40 per cent, it was
disclosed today. The demands repre-
sent total of nearly $50O,OO0,0O0 this
year or about half the railway oper-
ating income of last year. .~-s ...~-
A number Of requests for more pay
are still reaching the commission In
nearly every case the labor Union
seeks to represent all members Of the
particular trade whether organized or
unorganized and the wage commission
is said to be prepared to accept this
principle.
Many of the demands are for much
more than 40 per cent They ask in
some cases an increase t. place GER
tain trades on parity with employees
of other industries, and in addition a
fiat increase to provide fol- higher cost
of living within the last year. Less
than half of the 100000 railway en-
ployes are organized. Within the las;
few weeks, however, the unorganized
men have met in groups and sent pc
titions to the railroad administration
or wage commission asking definite
increases.
With the aid of its statisticians and
examiners, the wage commission ex-
poets to determine certain rates of in
crease considered just for various
classes Of railway labor and probably
will scale down the demands in many
instances. An attempt also will be
made to make the wage grants pro-
p0rtional to pay in other industries.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Because OF
