 the Crucial Time. 

St. Petersburg. Feb. to.--(1i p. m.l --St. Petersburg is again face to face with a renewal of the labor upheaval. the immediate incitement being the failure of the woykmen to secure pay ment for the time they were out on strike. added to the fact that there has been no adjustment of the de- mands which led to the strike last month The Putilof Iron Works. where the former strike originated. Is playing the principal role. There are s0.0e0 workmen already out within the metropolis and the workmen at the torpedo factory in Kolpino. eighteen miles distant have also Joined the strikers. There is a strong prospect of the movement extending.
 Only energetic measure by the troops and police prevented the resumption today of the former tactics of the strikers. marching from factory to factory and inducing or compelling em- pfoyes to lay down their tools. Thus far there has been no disorder in St. Petersburg and the authorities appear to have the situation well in hand ID this respect and 1t is generally be- lteved that such precautions have been taken as will preclude the repetition of the scene of hIoodshed of January 22. However circumstantial reports that the revolutionary element Is about to join with the strikers and resort to bomb throwing are causing grave ap- prehension

 The worigrnen today held q number of orderly meetings in fields and big assemblies are scheduled for tomor- row. Sunday will be the crucial time. The position of the workmen Is dis tinetly weaker than it was three weeks ago. for they arc without money, while the authorities are not repeating the mistake of under r-estlmating the grav- ity of the movement or neglecting pre-. cautions. Father Gopon's organization still exists, but secretly. and it Is less efeectiva. On the other hand the eEn- psoyers Fsalaza the importance oa q pronspe aattleuaeht Of the werkIaen'R grievances but have allowed weeks to slip by without deciding on combined action. A few have made concessions. but the majority have refused claim ing that fo allow the demands of the workmen would mean Dankruptcy for the employers and have resigned them selves to the care of the government They appear to think the government Is trying to make them shoulder the onus of settling 2 political difficulty and have appointed a committee to draw up memorial to Finance Min ister Kokovsoff setting forth the prop osition that the governments persis- tent effort to iconclliate the men has not tSrne the expected fruit and that the anger caused by the events of Jam uary 22 has been augmented by the delay in settling their grievances.
 Father Gopon's organization Is re- ported to have appointed thirty-three delegates who are to request Governor General Trepof to permit the worSmen to send another representative delega- tion to see Emperor Nicholas and pre- sent a program of labor reforms, and in case of refusal of this request, to repeat the attempt to march to the palace square; but there is no confirm alton of this report, and 1t is extremely doubtful if the men can be induced to rs-enact their part in the tragedy of January 22.
