END OF PICKETING.

Il number of members of the Culinary Workers
~ Union have been picketing non-unionE res
taurants, In an endeavor5 to win sympathy from
the public In their recent differences with local
restaurant owners. An Injunction just issued has
mt a stop to this kind of argument move that
the public approve. and the young women who
have been doing the picketing should not protest,
because it works only good for them in the long
run.
No picketin, matter how peaceabe or unob-
strusive, ever gained day for any cause. Any
kind of picketing open threat to business, and
a threat is threat, no matter how mild, ant~the
general public resents it, and acts accordingly It
is safe to say that the Culinary Workers did not
win one new friend by picketfng; they may have
succeeded in driving would-be patrons from the
restaurants without union cards. because people
hate to be subjected to annoyance of any kind,
ing were won to sympathy with the union. en-
tirely on the contrary. The public, just now. is
about fed up with and union endeavor to
intimidate business.
There is no feature of the present squab bible in
restaurant circles attract interest the public
. To win public sympathy there must be something
more than wrangle. There is one feature though
about the general situation, both union and non
union, which does look unfair to the man in the
street, and that the astonishing difference be-
tween the wages paid the men employees, and those
paid to the There may be enough differ
ence the labor performed by the men to justify
the additional they receive, but il the women
employed in the restaurants perform the same ser
vice that is rendered by the men, they should re-
ceive the same wage, dollar for dollar, and the
public would be interested in seeing this accomp-

Swedish Exports
Equal And Excal
49,. Pro-War Figure

Stockholm. Aug. 26.-lThat Hwsim
has definitely survived the lpost-war
crisis, and is one Of the first nations
in Europe to show natural and con-
sistent recovery, appears from the
monthly report on the foreign trade
of this country during June, which
has just been issued. ....-.. . ere.
The export of timber and sawn
wood, a staple commodity, has grown
80 rapidly that the volume is now 81
per cent of the peace-time figures. At
the end Of June the timber sales were
close to 100000 standards, which Is
considerably more than half Of the
normal yearly output. The export of
matches is 95 per cent of the pre-war
normal, and it is encouraging that the
export of iron ore has even surpassed
pre-war figures by three per cent. As
regards wood pulp and paper, which
America. buys from Sweden in large
quantities, the figures for the month
exceed the 1913 figures for the CORE
spending month by 1s to 72 per cent.
incidentally it Is reported that one
reason why the quotations on sui
phite pulp are high is the increased
demand from the United States for
the manufacture of artificial silk.
News print, which is shipped in great
volume to America, shows an export
figure II per cent above that of 1918.
In the line of manufactured indus
trial products the quantity of electri-
cal machines and apparatus, ball
bearings, and telephones is nearly
three times that of June, 1913. Cream
separators and motors have risen to
50 per cent of the pre-war price.
A similar indication of prosperity
is seen in the increased imports of
r1w material needed for Swedish IN
dustries. American dealers in cop
per will be interested to know that
Sweden's imports of that metal have
reached 81 per cent Of the pre-war
figure.
