 HARD PROBLEM
One of the Chief Matters Con- fronting Second Socialist
 Cabinet Tn Sweden.

STOCKHOLM Jan. 16 - Chief among the tasks confronting Swe dens second Socialist cabinet, which assumed office in October, is that of s-lving the unemployment problem brought about by the general eco homie depression of the country, which began last summer while the first Socialist cabinet was in power. It has been estimated there are about 100000 persons out of work in 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 substantial increase of the daily sum now allowed by law to each individual who has not steady employment,
 Premier Granting and his col leagues are also facing a difficult budget question. Experts say that rnless the new cabinet agrees to I general and radical reduction of sal sries now being paid to state em- cloves there will soon be deficit which would be difficult to cover even by means of loans.

OIL CONFLICTS
 BEING SETTLED
 IN WEST FIELD
Returning Prospector Says Boundary Adjustments
 Are Virtually Made.

Settlement of all conflicting beun daries of oil claims located in the west field of the Cold Bay district has virtually been concluded, accord ing to B. F. J. Smith, who arrived here last week on the Northwestern after spending the summer and fall in that district. Individuals inter- ested in these claims, he said. have been adjusting these difficulties for some time, correcting boundaries and by common agreement eliminating all points of difference.
 MT Smith is very optimistic over he outlook for the future of the dis .rict. ''If there is any demand for oil, a producing field will be de veloped in the Cold Bay district" he declared. ''The oil is there in quan titles capable of commercial develop ment." The extent of conflicts in the field, he believes, has been over estimated. there being fewer con flicting claims than has been gener' ally reported. He is confident that drilling will start next summer.
 MT Smith is an old timer in Al aska and was formerly connected with a lumber company in Fair banks. Later he was also in the same business in Anchorage. He ex- poets to go South some time this week
