Swedish manufacturers declare they dre compelled to do this in order to place their manufactories on a level which‘ will enable them to compete with German, American and English in ST.

When the employes inquired why this was done they were informed that the scale of wages av-; eraging the equivalent of $4.40 a day at the present rates of exchange must be cut. They were told that. unless they accepted such a reduction. the shop would be closed.
