Sweden Is Probing
Role Of Alcoholism

An extensive investigation of
the role played by alcohol in Swe-
denis economic life has been
started. Among the problems it
will probe is the connection be-
tween the use of alcohol and in
drstrial absenteeism and acci-
dents. The Central Association
for Temperance Education, one of
the main groups of the Swedish
temperance movement, today
claims more than 100000 men,
bers.
The insurance companies have
proved that the majority of indus
trial accidents occur on SATURDAYS
and Mondays, which is believed to
be linked to the use of alcohol
during the week end. Heavy drink
ers stay away from their jobs at
a rate exceeding that of the tee
totalers by nearly four times, ac-
cording to the findings of the 1914
Temperance Committee, released
last spring. Based on the report
of this Committee, a travelling
graphic exhibition about the use
of alcohol will be shown all over
Sweden this summer.

Sweden Observes
! emperance Day

For the twenty eighth time. a
National Day of Temperance was
observed in Sweden recently. II
was held in nine hundred places
with the help of about two hum
dred organizations. In Gothen-
burg, Prime Minister Tage Erland-
err emphasized that the temper
ance movement, along with the re-
ligious revivals and the labor
movement, was among the major
10th century popular movements
III Sweden, which meant liberia
ton from laxity, darkness, and
routine thinking. Finance Minis
ter Per Erwin Skiold declared that
some of the findings of the Tenn
perance Committee held forth a
hope for a definite improvement.
Largest among the temperance
societies is the Swedish branch Of
the International Order of Good
Templars, W h i'c h last year had
more than 1877 900 members. Next
came the National Templar Order
with $4,000, and the Motorists
Temperance Society with $4,000.
In addition. there are groups for
liaison work with the above So
cieties, such as the Central Asso-
citation for Temperance Education
and the political and religious
youth organizations. The 1914
Temperance Committee has sug-
gested the establishment of a pro-
fessor's chair for medical alco-
hol research as we'll as a grant,
trebled in value since 1850. for
research and public education re-
garding alcohol problems.

in the Ore Fields
That Great Britain and France

is revealed by a recent official

Pofessor w. N. Medlicott. The au-
thor admits that this was the
most important motive behind the

Murray Waits for i. 5.
|0r Industry 10 Make
New Move in Strike
BY the Assoeiaied Press

PITTSBURGH. July 17.-Philip
Murray. president of the striking
CIO United Steelworkers. waited
today for the White House or in
dustry to take some step toward
breaking the paralyzing 46-day-
old dispute.
There has been no visible ef-
fort on either side to reach a
settlement in the economy
Istrangling strike since Monday
when negotiations arranged by
Presidential Assistant John r.
|Steelman ended in deadlock.
A maze of rumorS sprang UP
around the country about pos
sible secret settlement of the
strike that has idled more than
is million workers. but Mr.. Muir
ray brushed them all aside with:
"They are without foundation. -
Ior that simply isn't so.'
Magazine Statement Denied.
Iron Age Magazine, a trade
journal, said Mr.. Murray's rejec-
tion of the industry's compromise
offer at the last peace talks did
not meet with approval Of his
union lieutenants. But union off,
lcials said Iron Ages report is
without foundation.
The issue Of a union shop, which
would require all workers to join
the union, or some modified form
of it. appeared to be the big
stumbling block in the path Of a
settlement.
Mr.. Murray wants compulsory
membership, but the industry is
holding out for union membership
on a voluntary basis only.
Mr.. Murray said he has con-
tacted no one in Government or
industry in the past "a hours.
adding:
1.-THE situation remains as it has
been. I know of no plans for any
further negotiating sessions"
Mr.. Murray has called the steel
workers 170-man Wage Policy
Committee to meet in Pittsburgh
Monday. That committee makes
all major union decisions.
Murray to Give Report.
Mr.. Murray said he will report
on the strike and ask the group
to map a course Of future action.
Meanwhile. the longest strike in
steel history drifts along in it's
seventh week. It is costing the
Nation about $40 million a day in
lost wages in steel production
alone.
In addition to the idle steel
workers there are nearly a million
lbreadwinners on furlough from in
dustries that depend on steel for
raw material.
The best available estimates by
observers are that the steelworkers
have lost something like $37 mil
lion a day in wages since the strike
started June 2. Workers in allied
Industries have lost an estimated
$35 million a day in wages.
Steel tonnage lost through the
strike is valued at $1,650, ,000, 900.
