'WORK4l Z DEMAND n
THAT 4 STRIKE end
LARGE PORTION OF THE sTRIK-
ERs ANXIOUS TO RETURN
TO WORK.
Employers Ultima tum that Facto-
ries Would DO Closed Down In
definitely, Unless Work Was Re-
sumed, Has Desired Effect.

St. Peters burg, Nov. 1S.-Though
according to surface indications yes
day the outlook for the speedy ending
Of the strike was gloomy, the revela-
tions made at meeting last night OF
the council Of workmen's delegates
showed that large portion Of the
workmen were breaking loose from the
control of the leaders and were anxious
to return to work. and . plebiscite
which will be taken today in the vari-
GUS factories probably will result in a
decision toabandon the strike Monday.
At a meeting Of the council which
was held in the same hall where Father
Gapon, Maxim Gorky and other lead
ers denounced the emperor on the eve
of Jan. %, Red Sunday, delegate after
delegate from different factories arose
and reported that the workmen, under
the influence Of the ultimatum issued
by the employers announcing that the
factories would be shut down indefin-
itely unless work was resumed OH
Monday, and with the p1eadings OF
their wives and of the conservative
workmen ringing in their ears were
demanding that the strike be ended.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 1s-The belief
is freely expressed tina martial law will
be proclaimed today. 1t is said that
the emperor and grand dukes insist on
this step, against the counsels Of Count
White. ~. ~
The employers yesterday finally in
formed the workmen that they had de-
cided against an 8-hour day.
There was an unprecedented run on
the savings banks yesterday. Some of
them were unable to meet the demands
immediately. .:~ ...
The workmen's organization yester-
day addressed an appeal to the SOL
diers and sailors of Russia, calling up
on them to join in the struggle for
freedom.
Martial law is still strictly enforced
in Poland and the circulation of revo.
lutionary handbills or newspapers has
been entirely stopped in Warsaw.

St. Paul.-The state has now paid
all the loans it has promised to make
to school districts, municipalities,
counties and townships. In some of
the cases the borrowers do not want
the money right away, but the state
has the money ready with which to
pay them when they want it.
w hen the state investment board
met Oct. IA, it approved loans for $751;
600, although at that time there were
already several approved loans waiting.
This brought the amount of the prom
ised loans up to .3oo5, 900 above the
amount then available" The invest
ment board approved the loans upon
an estimate that there would be about
$500, 600 turned into the permanent
school fund from the sales of land and
timber. The actual returns have gone
above expectations, and now there is
money awaiting the requests for loans.

Minneapolis - The Improvement
League may take action to prevent
saloons from cashing checks for labor
ing people. The idea CINE up as an
incidental subject in general discus
sion that was held in the court house,
The reason given was that many
men who go to saloons to have checks
cashed are moved to exchange a part
of their wages for the doubtful de-
lights of the barroom, and also that
with a weeks wages in their pockets
they are apt to display a generosity in
