st. Petersburg, Feb. 9.-The interro-
cation Of Maxim Gorky by the public
prosecutor was begun yesterday in the
court Of justice, to which he was driven
in carriage from the fortress Of st.
Peter and St. Paul.
Gorky is quite we'll and Is subjected

the wearing Of special garb to pre-
vent the possibility Of their escape.
The Associated Press representative
yesterday talked with Nine. Gorky,
who apparently is not deeply worried.
After her interview with her husband
on Tuesday, she petitioned the com

that her husband was not anxious to
write.

LODI SITUATION
GROWS OMNIBUS
Strikers Still Refuse to Work
and Clash Is Looked for
Tomorrow.

LODI, Russian Poland, Feb. 9.-The
general body Of strikers did not re-
turn to work today and the men do not
appear inclined to accept the manu-
facturers' terms. The outlook is by
no means promising.
The situation here remains uncertain
and nothing definite will be known I'M
til Friday morning, when some Of the
largest manufacturers have decided to
open their mills and give the men a
last chance to return to work. The
masters say that if there is no re-
Spouse to the whistle on Friday they
will close their mills indefinitely.
Little hope is expressed that the
strike will be settled, tho the men ap-
parently are frightened by the vio-
1ence Of the agitators. The masters
themselves are not united. Many Of
them oppose concessions, fearing that
1t will handicap them in competition
with the mills Of Moscow and st. Pc
tersburg, where wages already are low
er than at Lodz and the hours Of
work longer. +
It is reported that the strikers have
decided to resort to serious violence in
case the mills are closed down.
