CAUSES A CRISIS
Clirlstlania, May 14—A serious
political crisis in Norway hits been
precipitated by the resignation of
J. Cast berg, miniater for commerce
i'lid industry, who has been gener
ally regarded as the backbone of
Hie Radical cabinet now in power.
Oast berg took emphatic issue with
his colleagues on certaia labor leg
slation they are propos'ng, which
lie holds to be not only inimical to
the interests of the peoplv but also
unconstitutional. Against the pro
tests of the 23 Socialists In the
Storthing, the government decided 1
luvor of depriving all those employ
ed in public services, such as the
telegraphs, post office, telephones,
railways, etc., of the right of com
bination and striking, a-id to intro
duce compulsory ar*'tra-ion for the
remaining classes of work-people
T Iio S vi.ilisU declare that if this
legislation is passed they will
proclaim a general strike. Unable
to persuade his colleagues to modi
fy their plans, Castberg resigned.
The situation is compile '.ted with
the same issue that has arisen in
Sweden, the problem of national de
fense, Premier Knutsen having
taken it strong stand for a big in
crease of armaments. In this he is
opposed not only by the Socialists
but by .i J.irge section ■■>? the other
progressive elements. The existing
tension is illustrated b/ an Incl
ck'i:: growing out of the issue by
the I'uion of the Social Democratic
Youth of an anti-militarist stamp
representing a workman breaking
h weapon over his knee, ivhich was
circulated for sticking on letters
and postal packages. The govern
ment at ouce forbade the trans
mission through the mails of articles
so ornamented. When the Social
ist organ Xy Tid, at Trodjem,
upon »reproduced the stamp in its
columns in the form of a large
cnrtooi., tiie post-office department
rt fused to deliver that j articular
issue to subscribers.
The work of laying the small
boulders along the outer edge of
the IS inch parking strips out
side the rails of the W. P. & Y.
Route between Second and Eighth
streets is completed from Eighth
street down to Fifth. .The boulders
have been whitewashed and the space
between them and the ra'ls will be
filled in with clean, white sand.
