Ter hOEONSOm setting forth the position
that the governments persistent eff
forts to conciliate the men have not
Borne the expected fruit and that the
anger caused by the events of Jan %
has been augmented by the delay in
settling their grievances.
Ripe For Mischief
Reports from many factories show
that the hands are ripe for trouble and
likely to strike.
Father GOpOn's organization is re-
ported to have appointed thirty-thTee
delegates 10 request Governor General
TrepOff to permit the WoTkmen to send
another representative delegation to
see the emperor and present pro-
Sramme of labor reforms, and in case
of refusal OF this request TO repeat the
attempt to march to the palace square.
But there is no cOnfiTma ton of this re-
port, and il is extremely doubtful
whether the men can be induced to re-
enact their part in the tragedy of
Jan. %.
The dispute at the PutilOn iron
works centerI in the question of hours.
The men since the resumption of work
there have been quitting at the end of
eigh. hours The manager offered a
prOpoTtiOnate reduction OF their pay,
and yesterday posted notices threat
enins dismissal if the men did not
work the regular time, ten and Il half
hours.
Tore Down the Notices.
The men tore down the notices and
this morning delivered their ultimatum
o. eight hours with no reduction OF
wages The manager refused to con-
oede the demand, and the entire works
were deserted within one hour. The
strikers induced the employees OF a
neighbOring chemical works and a
sugar factory 70 join them. and the
car works and other establishments in
the neighbOrhOod are already idle.
The accessions to the ranks Of the
strikers have reduced TO idleness the
entire region between the Moscow and
the Narva gates, except the Russo
American Rubber works and one other
factory. The scenes in this vicinity
resembls those OF the troublesome
times in January.
Cossacks on Hand.
