TOSTAMPOUT REVOLT
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT ADOPTS
RIGOROUS MEASURES
Car Pleads with Workers to Cease
Their Instruction - Widespread Re-
forms Pledged in a Proclamation Is
sued by TrepoH in ST. Petersburg.

While at the time this is written the
military evidently have the situation in
st. Petersburg well in hand, adyices say
that great excitement exists through
out the country. Gen. Trepoff, he
new Governor General Of st. Peters
burg, has been given absolute authori-
ty over the military and police, and
even vested with the power of exile,
and it is evident that the govern
ment is dealing firmly with the situa-
ton. Many persons have been ar
rested, among them being Maxim
Gorky, the author and reform leader,
who, the Associated Press is privately
Informed, was taken into custody at
his home at Riga. A notice was posted
at all the works in st. Petersburg Civ
ing the strikers twenty-four hours to
return to work and intimating that
those who do not comply will be de-
ported to the villages.
Governor General Trepoff and Min
lister of Finance Kokoyseff issued q
proclamation which reveals the gov
ernments plan for breaking the strike
throughout Russia.
The proclamation is conceived in
paternal tone and points out that hon
est workmen, who want to better their
condition, should have brought their
demands to the government instead of
being misled by agitatOrs into 2lIili-
ating with q movement which is not
confined to economic aspirations. 1t
invites them to return to work. prom

revision of the general law so as to
restrict the hours of labor, the insti-
tuition Of a plan for State insurance
and otherwise to meet their demands
SO far as the law will permit, ard guar
antees them protection against inter
ference by agitators.
BY promising to yield the question
of the hours of labor. which are now
legally eleven in Russia, the authori-
ties believe they will meet the main
grievance of the wOrkInen. This, to-
gether with the guaranty of protec-
ton, the authorities hope will induce

while the present uprisings will be sup
pressed, a change in the form of the
Russian government is inevitable as re-
suit of the march of the people toward
the winter palace and the consequent
slaughter by the Cars soldiers.
This official confidence in the prospec-
tive demolition of Russian bureaucracy
tends stronger than anything else to con-
vince the British people that its govern
ment is prepared to lend its support to
the cause of the reyolutionists in a way
that will do the most good
