TO THB BDITOB OF "THB I>BESS." Sir, —I notice by your paper of th 3rd instant in one, of your leaders remark regarding the action of th populace of Stockholm in the genew strike of August 4th; 1909: You stat that & Public. Security Brigade wb formed to carry out the commerce c the port as well as the necessities. < the city. In tho first place, yon hay wrongly named the brigade, whic translates thus: "Free, Labour Brij ado." They obtained no support froi the Government, and were acting o their own initiative altogether, an bore-'the consequences thereof, obtaii ing no protection whatsoever. Als< they only' carried out .the. necessai work of the town and municipality, an did not do any other work whntsoeyei They were allowed fa' license to can revolvers for their own protection, bu had no special authority to use thei to carry on their work. Being a .nativ of Stockholm and.present at the ti'rn of the strike, I speak with authority.Yours, etc., ....... Y. LINDDHAL. Lyttelton, December 4th.
