RAILROAD STRIKE SPREADS
Lines Of All Of Russia Tied Up-People
in Want.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 24.-The railroad
strike situation has now entered on a
highly serious phase. The movement
is spreading rapidly to all the; railroads
of the empire, and apparently cannot
be stopped, while in many cities it is
communicating itself to the mill and
factory employees.
The general strike in all branches of
labor which the socialists planned for
the end Of this year is seemingly burst
ing forth of its own voition.
Minister Of Finance Kokovsoff yes
terday received telegram from the
bourse which said that continuation
Of the strike for a week longer would
force every factory in the Moscow re-
gion to shut down, owing to lack of
coal, whether or not the factory hands
took part in the strike.
All Industry Imperiled.
The same condition Of paralysis
threatens all the trade and industry of
Russia unless the strike is speedily set
tied. The inhabitants of Moscow are
already feeling the effects Of the strike
in the increased prices of food, and
they are even confronted by famine.
Moscow Is Isolated.
The last link that bound Moscow, the
commercial center of the empire, with
the outer world was broken yesterday
afternoon when the men on the Nicola
road, connecting Moscow with st. Pc
tersburg, went on strike.
St.. Petersburg has one line to the
frontier and the employees Of this linz
held meeting last night to decide
whether or not they should participate
in the strike movement. 80,

TAWNEY BALKS AT

Wiuona, MINI, Oct. 24.-Congress-
man James A. Tawney, who accompa-
MED the congressional party on its trip
after attending reunion Of the Taw-
ney family at Cedar Bluffs, Neb.
He was pleased with the irrigation
work being done there by the govern
ment which he thinks will bring into
these two territories, in the course Of a
few years, an agricultural class of peo-
pie that will give permanency and sta
bility to their population. AS a re-
suit Of the trip and the careful study
says: ,.z.4e
9 In my judgment, these territories
should not at this time be admitted
either jointly or separately, and IT the
people of New Mexico, like the people
Of Arizona, would cease agitating the
qls,stion of statehood in any form until
the federal policy of irrigation has re-
deemed the lands that are available for
agricultural purposes, and the other
developed as they will be, Judging from
development now going on, almost
| every objection now urged to the adj
mission Of these territories would be re-
moved and independent statehood
would then not only be possible, but
very probable :" ~ ~

sugar which, if the old contract had

the Spreckels concern. This product
amounts to about 10000 tons for the
