THE CARS PLEA
ATTEMPT TO PAcIFY STRIKERS

Proclamation by Governor General
Trepoff Promises to Shorten the
Hours of Labor and Make Other
Reforms.
st. Petersburg, Jan. Ex-Governor
General Trepoff and Minister of Fin
ance Koskovseff issued a proclama-
tion last night which reveals the gov
ernments plan for breaking the
strike, not only here, but throughout
Russia. The proclamation is con-
ceived in a paternal tone and points
out that honest workmen who want to
better their condition should have
brought their demands to the govern
ment instead of being misled by agi-
tators into affiliating with a movement
which is not confined to economic as
pirations. 1t invites them to return
to work, promising them. in the En-
peror's name, a revision of the general
law so as to restrict the hours of la
Dor, the institution of plan for state
insurance and otherwise to meet their
demands so far as the law will permit
and guarantees them protection
against interference by agitators.
This document will be followed Ell
ther by an imperial manifesto along
the same lines, in the hope of prevent
ing the spread of the strike, or by
specific proclamations by the local au-
thorities wherever strikes are in prog
ress. By promising to yield the ques-
tion of the hours of labor, which are
now legally eleven in Russia, the au-
thorities believe they will meet the
main grievance of the workmen. This,
together with the guarantee of protec-
tion, the authorities hope, will induce
those strikers who are Indifferent to
political demands, and which class
they declare constitutes the great
bulk OF the men, to resume work.
1t is certain many strikers were
forced out against their wishes. but
the general effect of the proclamation
is still problematical.
Though the strikes have been
spreading to various towns, the situa-
tion tonight, while disquieting, is not
acute anywhere. The great demon
stration, with an accompaniment of
bioodshed, which was anticipated in
Moscow yesterday, did not occur, and
the strike in the ancient capital has
not spread rapidly. only about 10000
workmen being out, according to the
latest reports. Cossacks charged and
dispersed a crowd of 5000 workmen,
and reports were circulated in st. Pc
tersburg that many were killed, but
advices direct from Moscow at mid
night deny this, the best information
being that only a few blank volleys
were fired. The Moscow military has
received orders to avoid repetition of
Sundays tragedy here, and not to use
ball cartridges unless they are driven
TO do SO by the direst necessity.
