NORWAY VALHALLA FOR THE LABORER Wages Raised From 40 fo 100 Per (ent. in Three Years (Correspondence of The Asso. Press.) Christiania, Norway, July 28.—As far as the food problem is concerned, Norway has been in a better con- dition than the other twa Scandi- navian countries and. although. the public more than a vear ago asked that it be put on rations of sugar, flour and potatoes, the government has prices so that the laborer, for in- stance, has been able to buy milk, bread, fuel, pork and some other articles of food at prices not much higher than under:- normal circum- stances. As his wages have been raised from 40 to 100 per cent. in the last three years the high cost of living is felt less by the laborer than by people working on a fixed salary in the service of the state or cities. These Kpuhh.c employers have not made the salaries follow the increased cost of living. The result is that it has come to a crisis for the civil service; young well fitted men resign their positions for better places with private em- ployers and the work in the govern- mental departments is crippled. All railroad employes, from station agents to the laborers, have resigned their places and will walk out Sep- tember 1, declaring their wages are too low for a decent living.
