for final decision unless so stipu-
lated by the Ministry of Social
Affairs.
This five-man Wage Board
which includes one representative
from both management and labor,
handed down the settlement in
June of last year which broke the
deadlock between the National
Trade Union Council and the Ma
tional Employers Association,
successfully concluding collective
bargaining negotiations involving
over 100000 Norwegian laborers
Strikes during the period of nego-
tiation were outlawed with the
consent of both management and
labor and the Boards decision
was binding. Labor was granted
sizeable wage raise graduated
over a II month period and geared
to the anticipated increase in pro-
duction. According to the agree
ment, however, labor has the right
to demand new contracts the mo-
n.ent official ost-of-living figures
top certain point. Fortunately,
this point has not yet been
reached.
The Parliament's decision, there
fore, extends for one year q pro-
cedure which, according to the
Ministry of Social Affairs, will
make it necessary for the usual
weapons of strike and boycott to
give way temporarily in favor of
an arrangement guaranteeing con-
tinuity in the labor program and
assuring the most efficient use of
the means of production. 1t is
generally agreed that production
in the interest of reconstruction
has a first claim on every Nor
wegian at the present time.
Statistics for the first 10 months
of 1916 tell story of their own.
With Norways liberation in May
of 1915, cost of living had reached
1851 (193S-100) At the turn
of the year it had risen just 2
points, and by October 1916 cost

The Key To Norway Labor Peace

OSLO.-Cost of living and in
dustrial production figures now
available through the month of
October clearly illustrate the sue
cess of Norwegian wage-price pol
icy during the past year and ad-
vocate a continuation of the ma
chinery which has helped provide
over 20 months of labor peace.
Recognizing this fact, the Nor
wegian Parliament has voted to
continue in the form of a new
law, the provisional decree of Sep
TENDER 1914 providing for COM
pulsory arbitration of labor dis
putes during the reconstruction
period. 1t is clearly stipulated,
however, that the law will expire
on December 81, 1917, and that
no labor dispute may be placed be-

tage is taken of practically all the
possibilities of expansion. An addi-
tional airport for Stockholm will
therefore be necessary, and it is
almost unanimously agreed that
Halmsjon is the most suitable
place. 1t offers no insoluble prob
lens from the point of view Of eX-
pansion and it meets all require
ments in respect to ground condi-
tions and suitable surrounding
terrain. The one disadvantage is
the fairly long distance from
Stockholm, 80 miles. BY means of
special fast trains the passengers
will, however, be taken to the GEN.
ter of the city in less than half
an hour
The Halmsjon field is intended
to be the terminus of the Scandi-
navian airlines to the USA, al
ready operating, and for future
lines to South America, India.
China, South Africa, etc, and also
for some of the European lines.
When this new big airport starts
fmctioning, Bromma will be util-
lied mainly for inland traffic and
European services requiring air
craft of more limited size. This
traffic may soon be expected to
absorb the entire capacity of that
airfield.
The costs for the Halmsjon
Field are estimated at 7S.700000
kroner 1921, 860,00OO fer the first
stage of development and an ad-
ditional 100000 (S2,24O,o00) for
the second phase, which is planned
to involve one main runway s.
800 it. and three subsidiary ones
of 1850 #.
ut is with great satisfaction
we who are engaged in Swedish
civil aviation hail the bill for the
construction of h e Halmsjor
Field" says Mr.. Per A. Norlin,
managing director of the Scand.-
navian Airlines System. This air.
port will play a very important
part in promoting the Swedish air
traffic as we'll as for Scandinavia
as a whole. At present there are
few air fields in Norway, Den
mark and Sweden that are capable
of receiving the large aircraft

of living was set at 1875. During
this same period, sharp price rises
on goods which Norway must pur-
chase abroad were partially offset
by strict controls and subsidies.
Industrial production, on the other
hand, showed a rapid increase
from 60 in May 1915 q93S-100O,
to 70 in December, and by October
of 1916 had reached 108 or
eight points above the 1888 aver
age. Though rigid controls and
prompt enforcement will be neces-
