In1910 and1911, the Swedish parliament had rejected the Conservative government’s proposal for labour legislation.The questions were taken up again in 1916 when, commissioned by the government, the National Board of Health andWelfare presented a detailed proposal for certain measures to promote industrial peace.The committee included, among others, the board’s director general, Henning Elmquist, head of department and subsequent director general, Gunnar Huss, and, as in the 1907 committee, representatives of the two biggest corporatist bodies on the Swedish labour market, namely, Hjalmar von Sydow from SAF and Herman Lindqvist from LO.500 They were men with great experience from Swedish working life and from mediation and arbitration in disputes dealing with labour contracts. The committee stated that there was no reason to once again take up the question about individual labour contracts.This issue was not necessarily connected with the need to achieve industrial peace.The history of the 1910 and 1911 parliaments moreover showed that opinions were more divided in that question p a r t i v, c h a p t e r 9 248 9. 4. 1 the proposal of the nat ional board of health and we lfare 1916 .
