chief of police of Warsaw, who has
tust returned from a conference with
Governor General Tchertkoff of the
province OF Warsaw. today gave the

regarding the state of affairs in this
district:
The strike continues in all of the big
factories. Tomorrow the manufactur-
crs are coming to me to discuss the
situation, and Tuesday, L purpose see
ing some representatives of the strik-
ers.
Unless the strikers return TO work

men have no money and it seems i'm
possible that the strike can continue
much longer. Our task is one of great
difficulty. We are not fighting an
economic. but a political movement
having its origin in St. Petersburg.
The worst troubles, however are
ever. Small disturbances may break
out here and there but not on such a
scale as the earlier riots here"
Private telegraphs received from
there are closed. Thirty thousand
wagon loads Of ore are standing on the
railway tracks, and the freight traffic
of the Vistula line must be suspended
unless the wagons are removed.
The coal supply is the most urgent
question in Warsaw since the Sosnov-
ice strike began. Governor General
Tchertkoff today received a telegram
from Emperor Nicholas permitting him
TO import coal free of duty from ST.

Immediately dispatched to Silesian
mines. A telephone message received

that the manufacturers are convinced
that the strikers have no intention TO
