Worse Troubles Confront Russf
At Home
LABOPING PEOPLE STILL RESTLESS,
Labor Delegates Representing the
Whole Industrial Population OF st.
Petersburg Issue Peremptory pe
mads Which the Government %
Almost Certain Not to Grant.

st. Petersburg, BY Cable.-Black
clouds are again lowering over the in-
dustrial situation of Russia. Th0
strike at Moscow has been resumed on
a large scale, anarchy reigns In the
Caucasus, and at St Petersburg the
measures which the government adj
vanced to quiet discomfort and restore
good relations between masters and
men appear to have failed. with the
probability of causing the storm to
break anew.
The labor delegates representing
the whole of the industrial population
Of st. Petersburg, and who were elect
ed to choose fifty members OF the
Schidiosh reconciliation commission
met again Thursday and reafarmed
the resolutions adopted the previous
day, which threatened, in case the
demands are not granted, not only to
refuse to elect labor representatives
to the commission, but to order q re-
sumption Of the general strike.
These demands are for the release
Of imprisoned workmen and freedom
from arrest, unhampered speech, full
publicity of meetings Of the commits
sion, and the abolition Of the censor
ship.
A practical ultimatum was deliver
ed, calling for an answer today, ana
there is little expectation that the
government will grant the conditione
demanded. The strike already has
assumed large proportions here, about
$4,000 men being out. Among those
who struck yesterday are the employ
es Of the st. Petersburg shops OF tho
Warsaw Railway. The strike has not
yet extended to the trainmen, but the
leaders may decide to order them,
out In order to paralyze one Of the
most important railroads in. Russia.

CANNOT ABOLISH DIsPENSARY
Board Has No Power to Close Place
After it Has Begun Operations.

After it Has Begun Operations.
The Columbia correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer writes his paper
as follows:
Just before the meeting of the Leg
stature, when there was an apparent
y strong sentiment throughout the
State in favor Of radical changes in
the dispensary law, and when it was
thought likely the Legislature would
make important changes and grant
concessions in these changes to the
prohibitionists and anti-dispensary
people, the State board Of directors,
oy vote Of two to one, decided to
grant prohibition to the little town Of
Elleree, in Orangeburg, which had by
petition been urging the board to re-
move its dispensary since last sum-
mer, and passed resolution closing
the dispensary there the first of jan
uary. Chairman Hub Evans, who
voted against allowing the community
prohibition, had the matter taken up
to the Supreme Court on the petition
Of Dispenser Weeks, against whom
there was complaint as to the manner
in which he had been conducting the
Elleree dispensarv. The people of FL
leree frankly acknowledged that there
was no fault to find with Dispenser
Weeks; they merely wanted prohibi.
ton, which their COUNT board had re.
fused to grant. The Legislature had
come and gone without making any
change in the dispensary law, and the
Supreme Court permanently enjoined
the State board from carrying into ef-
feet it's resolution closing the Elleree
dispensary on the ground that both
the spirit and the substance of the
dispensary law forbids the State board
closing any dispensary once opened,
and thus fully sustains Chairman Ev-
ans, who contended that the State
board had 10 Jurisdiction in such Q
matter and that dispensaries may be
closed only under the Brice act, which
requires the entire county to act in en-
election, the counties voting out its
dispensaries levying half mill to en-
force prohibition and forfeiting its
share in the dispensary school fund,
which act the Legislature tust ad-
journed resolutely refused to amend.
A movement has started in Oconee
to vote out the dispensaries, and it
is not unlikely that this county will fol-
low the example Of Cherokee, which
voted out its dispensaries under the
Brice act. The church people are be-
hind the movement in Oconee and
they are moving with energy and
great enthusiasm and zeal.
