Machniists employed In the three lead

More than 1900 have walked out so

the week This will be materially in

of the employees will be thrown out OF

The employees Of the Iowa Dairy Sep

out, followed by the Galloway Manu-

Senator G. Hatred Won Koch of

foreign visitors and tri-clty guests
at Augustana last night that We
must build a big bridge across the

A metaphorical bridge Of kindli-

tual admiration everybody smiled
and bowed across the water, shout
ed greetings, and then crowded on
to shake hands.
1t was the happy gift CT the visi-

GREAT FUTURE
FOR LABORERS
Famous Swedish Leader Explains
the Excellent Working Con-
ditiOns in Sweden.

Herman Lindquist, the famous
leader of the Employees association
in Sweden. through the efforts and
courtesy of Otto Johansson, editor
Of the Socialdemokraten. made the
following explanations of the situa-
ton of the Swedish working class
today:
When I am speaking of the stu
alton of the working class my ex-
perience among the organized
workers is the basis for my state
ments. 1 have in so years taken
the part of labor in the Swedish
trade movement, and have found
that it is owing to the activity and
force of this movement that the
situation of the working class is
now very favorable.
This movement began In Sweden
some 35 years ago, and in its first
appearance it was met with strong
resistance which. by and by. has
been exchanged by very good CO.
operation between the workers and
the Employees association.
Trade Centralized.
THE Swedish trade movement is
now centralized, and this organiza-
ton which in 1909 fought a gigan-
tic battle in which about 100000
workmen took part, has had an i'm
posing development, and since has
had an increase Of 239 900, of whom
$4,000 are women.
The Swedish trade movement
has always worked on constitu-
tional grounds and in intimate CO.
ordination with the Swedish Demo-
cratic party, and so has been able
to unite it's powers by the municipal
and political elections by means of
which it now has a majority in
many municipal representations and
in the parliament. The Social Dem
ocrats are the largest party in both
chambers
Last but not least the question
of most vital Importance for the
workers, is that of the regulating of
working hours, which is now solv-
ed. Last month both chambers of
parliament passed an act through
which the S-hour day became legal
ICED for the Swedish workers. The
continued keeping together of the
working class further guarantees
the elevation of the laborers"
