Moscow, Oct. 25.-One Of the
leaders in the strike movement told
the correspondent of the publishers
Press last night that, unless the
present demands of the strikers
were granted, every kind OF labor
throughout the country will be
stopped. The object of the strikers
is to force the government to grant
representation to workingmen in
the Douma.
A battle occurred at the telegraph
Office, where strikers were trying to
prevent telegraph com munication,
and many were wounded. Strik-
ers are preparing another assault on
the telegraph building and it is

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. PA. B..
Warner, superintendent of the pub
lie schools of Tacoma, and L. L
Benbow, county superintendent
schools, are making vain search for
teachers capable of handling all
grades Of work. The schools of the
city are fairly we'll equipped with
teachers, but in the county two of
the public institutions have been
closed since thu opening of the fall
term because Of the inability of the
directors to secure teachers.
That there is an alarming lack
of good schoolteachers not only in
Tacoma and Pierce county but else :
where is shown by numerous re-
quests received by educators here
for teachers from other cities and
counties in the s'ate. Ellensburg
could use four teachers to advan-
tage; King county could use treble
that number, if they were able, and
Skagit, Snohomish, Lewis and 9th.
er counties are making vain efforts
to fill in vacancies caused by lack
of suitabls teachers.
That the situation is serious is
admitted by both superintendent
Warner and Superintendent Ben
bow.

St. Petersburg, Oct. "a The
government resumed railroad ser.
vice on few roads today, but un-
der great difficulty. The decision
of the railroad men at a meeting
here tonight to declare a general
strike has immensely complicated
the problem. Trains left for Mos
COW today over the Nicholai road,
but the passengers were notified
that Communication was guaran-
teed only as far as Tver.
Several attempts were made to
interrupt communication by tele-
graph and telephone out of Moscow
and the officers had to be guarded
by Cossacks. Persons wishing to
send messages had to fight their way
through crowds of strikers, and in
many cases were severely handled.
The strike has taken a violent
turn in a number of cities, from
which reports come of encounters
between mobs and the police and
troofs. v
Agrarian disorders have broken
out in the province Of Samara. The
troops sent to Kharkoff include 9
detachment of artillery, indicating
that the situation there is quite Sc.
rious.
The executive committee of the
League of Leagues has adopted res
olutions saying that the present
moment was favorable for gener'
al strike of all the professions, ano

gineers and all other members O

politics, means the Mormon counties,
and those clerical politicians, in.
cluding two or three bishops who
were delegates to the convention,
promised the Mormon support to Mr..
Borah
But, If indications in Idaho count
/ for anything, Mr.. Borah will find
that the Saints have had new
revelation since he made a covenant
with them at Moscow. j. Fl. Brady
Of Pocatello, chairman of the repub-
lican state central committee, is q
candidate for senator, and, it is said,
he is absolutely debating Governor
Gooding's patronage in his own in
terest; that the deal with Mr.. Borah
has been declared off by the Mormons,
and new deal made with Brady.
All of which would tend to show that
Mormon political promises are not
worth par.
The simple truth is that the Mor77
mon church distrusts Mr.. Borah. II
was forced to make terms with him
at Moscow, because without him
Gooding could not have been nomi-
mated. Two years before that, how
ever, the church prevented Mr.. Borah s
election to the senate. aud w. b.
Hepburn was chosen Mr. Borah was
wrathful: and for a time threatened
to make in the republican party the
same kind of anti-Mormon fight which
Senator Dubois started in the DEM
ocratia party
just when the anti Mormons OF
both PARTIES we're expecting new
and powerful recruit in the person
of Mr.. Borah the eloquent gentleman
from Boise was suddenly retained as
legal counsel for Reed Smoot in the
1atter's fight for his seat in the senate !;
and, while Mr.. Borah has never been
in Washington in Apostle Shoots
behalf, his name has been on every
legal paper filed there by Shoots
counsel.
In order to make his peace with
the Mormons at the Moscow oonyen-
ton, Mr.. Borah had to bury strong
personal resentment. He and Good
ing were such bitter personal enemies
that they scarcely spoke to each other.
But, with senatorship dangling
temptingly in the air, Mr.. Borah
buried the hatohet with Goodinp and
brought about his nomination.
The Mormon leaders, who are moth
Ing II not practical politicians. be-
lieve, however, that Mr.. Borah is
nursing his resentment for a day when
he can vent it in full upon the church.
They know that even yet in private
conversation Mr.. Borah admits that.
most of the charges which Senator
Dubois has laid at the door of the
hierarchy are true, Notwithstanding
his vigorous assertions to the contrary
on the stump; and they fear once ele-
waited to the senate Mr.. Borah would
again come out in the open and de-
nounce them and all their works
So If the first presidency can prevent
it Mr.. Borah will not wear senator
toga. They know they can trust Mr..
Brady.
