THE STRIKE EXTENDS.
But the Government Has the Best OF
the Fight Thus Far.
fRv the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press)
ST. Petersburg, Dec. 22.-1:2O p. m.
There was some extension of the strike
today in ST. Petersburg, but the gov
ernment plainly holds the upper hand
here. The state of the strike generally
speaking depends on its development
at Moscow and other places in the IN
terror. Evidently the leaders hope to
precipitate matters at Moscow with
the view of setting up a provisional
government there if they can effect a
split in the army and also to secure
possession of other towns as they dld
in the case of Kharkoff. but their
plans have not matured. They seem
to be striking wildly and blindly. The
government, it is now apparent, TOOK
the revolutionists off their guard, and
forced the issue, preferring test of
strength before the workmen's organi-
zation could complete it's plans, conf
dent that a defeat will greatly impair
the prestige of the revolutionary lead
ers among their followers and afford
the government time to marshal the
forces of conservatism which are dis
gusted with the prevailing chaos and
give the government time to hold the
elections.
Trains Are Still Run.
The railroad mems strike committee
made heroic efforts to stop trains from
being run out of st. Petersburg today.
and succeeded in inducing practically
all the station and round house men
and many of the. trainmen who re-
mained on duty yesterday to join in
the strike. Nevertheless the govern
ment has been despatching trains un-
der military guards over all the lines,
although regular schedules have not
been maintained. Soldiers with flags
on their bayonets have been doing
duty as switchmen. >
The strikers are intensely enraged
a. their failure to suspend traffic.
Thc0 stopped a train from Berlin
last night outside of st. Petersburg,
using a red lantern, and ordered the
engineer out, but the soldiers guard
drove off the strikers and the train
proceeded.
Shot Dead i'm Cab.
The engineer of Kurak train was
shot dead in the cab of his engine
burg. M. Nimechaieff, minister of
communications, has issued an order
that all employees falling to report for
duty today will be dismissed. Agita-
tors will be prosecuted to the full ex-
tent of the law. Throughout the
city notices signed by the prefect OF
police have been posted announcing
that agitators who incite the people
to strike by using threats will be ar
rested and fined $3.50 and imprison-
ed for three months. The landlords
throughout the country were empow-
cred by ar imperial ukase made pub
lie today to organize guards for the
protection of their property.
