SWEDEN SEEKS TO SOLVE
UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM
General Economic Depression
in Country Makes Big Task
for Socialist Cabinet.
Try Associated press.l

STOCKHOLM. Nov. 10. - Chief
among the tasks confronting Swc-
dcns second Socialist Cabinet. which
assumed office I'm October. is that OF
solving the unemployment problem
brought about by the general econo-
mic depression OF the country which
began last summer while the first
Socialist Cabinet was in power. 1t
has been estimated there are about
10000 persons out OF work i'll the
kingdom.
Leaders of the unemployed have
already announced intentions to press
the government for action In favor
OF extension OF government support.
and to urge with all their might sub
stantial Increase of the daily sum
now allowed by law to each indi-
vidual who has not steady employ
nent.
Premier Branting and his col
leagues are also facing n difficult
budget question. Experts say that
unless the new Cabinet agrees to n
general and radical reduction OF sal
aries now being paid TO state en-
ploycs. there will soon be deficit,
which would be difficult to cover even
by means of loans.
Swcden's first Socialist Cabinet took
office in January. 1920. and continued
In power until october last year,
