 Swedish manufacturers declare they are compelled to do this in order to place their manufactories on a level which will enable them 10 compete with German, American and English production
 Workers Laid Off.
 Many of the factories and me chanical lines began in December to dismiss their workers gradually by laying off ten 10 20 per cent of them weekly. When the employees in quired why this was done they were informed that the scale of wages averaging the equivalent of $40 a day at the present rates of exchange must be cut. They were told that unless they accepted such a reduc- tion the shop would be closed.

THAT he is all through paying fancy

best hogs ever placed en- the market
was the statement made recently BY
Il. II. Beckstead, Well known hog rais-
er and authority on live stock.
Mr.. Becksteads, hogs are the envy
Of his neighbors, and have topped the
market" for several years IN Iowa.
He states that for years he bought hign
priced hog foods and hog remedies DIT
he is all through paying extrayagant
prices for what he can make hlmseii.
He states that what the hogs need are
minerals. and tells the secret OF his
wonderful success by explaining that he
tskes about five pounjs of ordinary
mineraline (which is pure concentrated
minerals and costs only couple OF do
lars) and mixes same with enough bran
or filler to make hundred pounps. All
hogs, and especially brood sows require
minerals as they ksep them free from
worms. and In the pink of condition, a. d
are essential to the hogs growth and a

of the local union of packing
house employees are without au-
thority to- rescind the order in
structing the workers to strike, Us
the order was issued by the ma
tional executive board of the un-
ion, counsel of three union Off
Gals declared today in answer filed
in district court to contempt OF
court proceedings brouSht by the
state industrial commission.
''The local officers did not call
a strike; they merely transmitted
to the men strike order of the
national general executive board
which they have no authority to
rescind," the defense counsel con-
tended. 1t was further stated III
the answers that the men ARE not
on strike, but quit work individ-
ually of their own volition.'
The filings are a part of argu-
ment of the defense in the trial OF
three union leaders and 4S other
members of the union. when

ley tomorrow.
They are charged by the state
industrial commission with having
quit work at the packing plants

sequently the defendants were cit
ed for contempt of court for re-
fusaI to carry out a mandatory

versy.

LITTLE PROGRESS IS
MADE AT FARLEY OF
PREMIERS IN LONDON

London, Dec. 20 (by the Asso-
ciated Press) MOT much progress
has been made thus far. 1t was
learned tonight. in the converse
tions between Premiers BRAND OF
France and Lloyd George of Great
Britain on German Preparations and
kindred questions. The two met
again this morning but did not get
together lis afternoon.
Talking to the Associated Press
tonight, Mr.. BRAND said he was un-
able to give any details of the con-
versations which ranged over a
wide field, including reparations
and the intentions of France should
Germany fail to meet her financial
obligations, due January 10. lie
emphasized that his conversations
with Mr.. Llyod George did not con-
stitute a conference, which could
be called only after an accord had
been reached in an exchange OF
views.
b, To an observation that today's
London papers spoke or the
'French naval puzzle" at the
Washington conference and sug-
gested that M. Brands recent
statement did not square with the
announcement of the French dele
CATION he replied warmly that there
were no such Emergencies as had
been insinuated. On the contrary
he declared, he was in full agree
ment with the French delegation
and the claims they had put for
ward in Frances behalf.
M. BRAND complained somewhat
bitterly of what he termed the sus-
picion with which certain quarters
had judged Frances oerensiVe
naval measures.
