CONDITION GENERAL
Sweden, like Hie United States,
is undergoing: a period of economic
readjustment involving Hie closing
down of factories and reduction of
wages in an effort to eut the cost
of production, says: -an Associated
Press correspondent, writing from
Stockholm.
Swedish manufacturers declare
they are compelled to do this in
order to place their manufactories
on a level which will enable them
to compete with German, American
and English production. Many of
the factories and mechanical lines
began in December to dismiss their
workers gradually by laying off ten
to twenty per cent of them weekly.
When the employes inquired why •
this was done they were informed
that the scale of wages averaging
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.
In most cases the workmen re
fused and the factories were shut
down for part of the month; but
a reaction against thir- policy be
came noticeable before the begin
ning of the new year.
New agreements between employ- i
ers and workers usually are made!
in many lines at the beginning of |
the year. This time there was a!,
collision of the workmen's demands j
for higher wages with the employ
ers’ announcement tfhat they would !
have to be cut.
Swedish employers now <nave no i
fear of strikes but, on the contrary,
say they would welcome them be
cause of lack of orders and dull
prospects which seem to be likely
to result in further dismissals of
thousands of workmen.
Attempt on the part of America
to exclude or reduce the number of
immigrants is reported to have had
an influence in producing a concil
iatory frame of mind among the
workmen. Heretofore the Swedish
worker has had America to fall
back on in case of labor troubles
at home. Now he is: beginning to
doubt whether he will* continue to
enjoy this opportunity to emigrate.

MIDNIUHI BLAit UAMAUW
COCHILL GROCERY STORE
The first serious fire of the winter
and one of the few serious fires in
the history of Nenana occured
shortly before midnight last night,
when the VV. A. Coghill building, on
A street was threatened with de
struction, resulting in heavy dam
age to stock and furnishings. Most
of the damage, however, was caused
by smoke and water.
The fire started at the rear of
the building and is supposed to have
been caused by a spark from the
boiler in the shed immemdiately be-1
hind the store. The roof of the
shed was burned slightly and the
fire also ate its way into the main
building, scorching the wall and
ceiling at the rear of the store and
partially consuming the back wall
on the second floor, and the roof, j
Mr. and Mrs. Coghill and baby,!
and Gus Utberg were in their!
apartments upstairs when the fire.
started but did not discover the
blaze until it had burned its way \
through the upstairs back wall, al-;
most cutting off their escape by
way of the back stairs, the only exitj
from the upper story. Mrs. Coghill!
was confined to her bed by a nerv-:
ous breakdown at the time and it;
was necessary to rush her to the j
hospital with all possible speed. The !
baby also is in delicate health, as'
the result of a recent sick spell.
Both town and commission de-;
partments responded to the alarm I
and several streams of water were
available by the time the chemicals
had been exhauted in an unsuccess
ful effort to quench the flames.
The hose lines, backed by a heavy
pressure, enabled Fire Chief Allan
Johnson and his many willing as
sistants to put the fire quickly un
der control, the work of the fire
fighters being much aided by the
absent of wind, the night being
unusually still and quite cold.
Practically everything was re
moved to a place of safety in front
of the Coliseum, while the flames
were being fought at the rear, and
by morning the stock was back in
the store, with a temporary heating
plant installed to keep things from
ireezing. ^onsiaeraoie water came
into the store from the upper floor
but most of the stock was out of the
way before the deluge occurred.
The damage is rather hard to
estimate, owing to the confused
condition of the stock, but a con
servative estimate places the loss
at about $3,000,, with ample in
surance to cover. The rear wall of
the building will need repairing, and
the papering in the store renewing,
and it is possible that all the furn
ishings up stairs will have to be re
placed.
