REPORTS OF FAILURE OF STRIKE

More intellectual People Refuse to Be
Drawn Into the TroubIe-Anticipate
Disorders Of Too Serious a Nature
If it Proceeds.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 6.-Un1ess dis
patches from the interior within few
hours entirely change the situation the
general strike promises to be a COM
plete failure. Although the liberals are
strongly opposed to the course of the
government, they shrink from precipi-
tating revolution and the horrors Of
civil war, in which the country would
be plunged If the plans of the proletar-
lat leaders were successful. Not only
is the sympathy of tle intelligent pub
lie lacking but in ST. Petersburg var
ious labor organizations find many fol
lowers lukewarm and even in open re-
bellion against their orders.
Late this afternoon it was evident
that the government had practically
succeeded in crushing the organization
of the strike leaders here. The central
committee of the social democrats was
captured and placed in prison. The
greatest confusion prevails in the re.
volutionary camp. The hope of the
revolutionists is now centered in Mos

Railway Men Work.
The railroad men upon whom the
success of the entire movement de,
pends, are still working full time. The
leaders of the railroad organizations
fear being deserted by their material
istic followers, who are no more re
sponsive to the avowed pretext of this
strike, namely, sympathy with the mu
tineers of Sveaborg, Cronstad and Re
val, than they were to the similar
reasons for the abortive strike of las
/ November. The railroad men have
been intimidated by the recent Law
making of strikes affecting communi
cations, penal offenses.

The council of workmen's deputies
which met secretly at Terioki Finland

we're so incensed at the timidity dis
played by the railroad men that the.
