GETTING CONFUSED?
Some folks are wondering if we've started a store in Medford Let's get
it straight right here about names. Any similarity is purely coinciden
tal. Dad tells me his folks came from Sweden and that the name is
spelled J-O-H-N-S-O-N, not Johnsen or Johnston. The nearest relatives
are in Massachusetts. (Don't you wish yours lived that far away?)
HOPE THAT MAKES IT CLEAR
Before we forget, better tell you we've been selling Merry Tillers out
here on Hiway 66 for over 5 years. We don't have a regular place of
business, we're gardeners like you. We can't afford a huge advertising
program and we try to pass the savings on to you. We'd like to have
you check our terms and low interest payments. S&H Green Stamps
are given too plus free berry plants to our customers. We have the
new Cascade Blackberry plus several varieties of strawberry plants.
FREE DEMONSTRATIONS ON YOUR PLACE
Did you know that you need never replace Merry Tiller tines? We've
learned a few tricks from our experience with Merry Tiller that we'd
like to pass on to you. DROP OUT OR CALL US.

for negotiating with employers.
Greatest Contributor
But the greatest contributor
to industrial peace in the natur
ally aggressive period of early
labor contract making in Swe
den has been the Labor Court
It was the answer for dealing
with increasing labor disputes of
the period following the end
of Warld War I. The public
came to regard these controver
sies as very costly and not alto
gether necessary. With their
long history in public admini
stration, the Swedes inquired
into the possibility of elimin
ating certain of these disputes.
This reform program devel
oped the Labor Court which
held its first sesion on Jan. 28,
1929. It was made up of three
impartial members, and five
who represented employers,
workers and salaried employ
ees. Binding on Both Parties
Its jurisdiction was limited to
disputes concerning the appli
cation and interpretation of col
lective agreements already
signed. These are considered
binding on both parties under
Swedish law.
There is no restriction in the
Labor Court act to negotiating
for wages or working condi
tions, and the strike is still a
weapon of the unions, and the
lockout of the employers, in
disputes over new agreements.
What the Labor Court act
dees is to eliminate strikes or
lockouts after a contract is
signed. If union jurisdictional
disputes should develop, they
are handled by the federation
of labor unions. There is no ap
peal from either decision.
At first the Labor Court was
bitterly opposed by labor un
ions. They feared the court was
prejudiced in favor of manage
ment and that its very purpose
hindered vigorous organization
al effort by unions.
Has Eminent Jurists
The labor unions finally cal
led a one-day general strike
against the court proposal in
1928. But today they have ap
pealed more often to that body
than employers. Its judges are
among Sweden's most eminent
jurists. Labor now supports it

At the 25th anniversary of the
court, when King Gustaf Adolph
and many government people
attended its session, Axel
Strand, head of Sweden's labor
federation, said, "Twenty five
years ago nobody would have
dreamed that the president of
the Labor Federation would to
day be present to offer his fel
icitations. But the fears that
were then felt in labor circles
have not come true. We have
for a long time emphasized the
positive importance of the La
bor Court and have advocated
that its authority be extended
to spheres not covered by col
lective agreements."
On the same occasion Gunnar
Dahlman, president of the court,
said, "About 1,500,000 employ
ees in Sweden have their em
ployment and wage conditions
regulated by collective agree
ments. The fact that the Labor
Court has been able to fulfill
its function is due to the
strength of the labor organiza
tions, themselves, and to their
willingness to negotiate. In fact
they settle among themselves
the great majority of controver
sies." Right Not Restricted
The court has not humored
Swedish labor to win respect.
It has repeatedly held that an
employer's right to discharge
an employee shall not be restric
ted. Yet it legally approves the
