81 Petersburg, Nov. 20.-With the
collapse OF the strike, the leaders of
the Reds say they will now devote
lhelr energy to preparations for uni
Versal political strike to sustain the
revolutionary program, when the ma
uonal assembly meets.
These plans, which were suddenly
upset by precipitation of the railroad
strike last month, are exceedingly am
pltlous, involving the cooperation not
only OF Workmen Of the cities but the
peasants, and possibly the army and
navy
A propaganda among the soldiers
and the sailors will be pushed ener-
getically. The leaders already cia m
they have organized the peasantry in
five districts of Kharkoff province. An
effort is also being made to capture
the MOSCOW Zemstvo Congress.
Strike is Abandoned.
The railroad strike committee cov-
cred the abandonment of it's position
In the following proclamation:
The strike of the st. Petersburg
railroad men has shown the govern
ment that the execution of cruel meas
ures like the death penalty will always
meet the active resistance of the work
ing classes. The strike has shown
that our power is growing and if later
the committee finds it necessary to
offer the government decisive battle
we will conquer.
Comrades, grid yourselves for the
struggle. When it is found necessary,
all the railroads in Russia will strike,
and will continue the struggle until
the government has fulfilled all our po
litical and economic demands

scription are at a standstill.

been obliged to call upon the banks
for aid, which it is impossible to give
because the small depositors are with
drawing their savings.
Workingmen are poverty stricle en-
yet they refuse to work.
Rail and water lines have ceased to
operate
Gold it steadily flowing out OF the
country, and Russians, who hold gov
ernment industrial securities, are sell
ing them at any price and replacing
them with English, American and esre
cially German securities.
The gift of liberty, granted a few
weeks ago, which at that time was
hailed as the forerunIer of happiness
and prosperity, has in reality prov er
a curse.
