Stockholm, Aug. 17.—The attempt to force the agricultural workers to join a general strike and to refuse to harvest the crops has firoved a failure. Hotel proprietors are appealing to the military governor for permission to sell altoholic liquors. They say the prohibition against such service is seriously affecting their tourist trade.
