STRIKE FAILED
Russian WOrkmen's Council Calls
1t Off in ST. Petersburg, 7l'os

ST. PETERSBURG. Aug s.. - The
Workmen's council has decided to- Gall
off the strike in st. Petersburg. This
action does not apply to the Provinces,
but there is little doubt that the work.
men there will follow st. PetersBufgiS
example. i,,, ag,,
More than half of the factories at st.
Petersburg have resumed work. and,
while the employees of some OF there's
Establishments at Moscow are still out,
none Of the predictions of the extreme
parties who organized the strike move
ment was fulfilled. Many of the
trades unions totally refused to Join
in the movement. The railroad men
whose cooperation was vital. could
not be induced to give the signal for
q strike owing to fear that Il majority
of the men would not obey, and there
was no sign of a serious peasant
movement. 1t is apparent that the mo-
ment was i'll chosen for a strike. The
people were not in the temper to sup
port it. ift
The government, which had prepared
for the worst, holding military trains
in readiness at all the centers and had
even made arrangements to send ont
the foreign mails by torpedo boats
from st. Petersburg, naturally is great
ly rejoiced at its victory. Nothing
more than local echoes of all this fe-
verish activity of the revolutionary and
proletariat leaders, with possibly a
more active state of terrorism, is ex-
pected In the immediate future. The
members of the nOnrevolutionary par
tie do not conceal their satisfaction at
the defeat of their old allies of the EX-
IRENE Left, as they feared that a great
strike, with widespread disorders en-
failing repressions, might be used as
justification by the government to post
pone the elections and the assembling
of Il new parliament. W'
The ministry of the interior has is
sued Il statement describing the strike
as a complete failure. it having at
tanned serious dimensions nowhere ex-
cept IN st. Petersburg and Moscow.
The statement says further that the
factory inspectors are of tile opinion
that most of the factories will be
working full strength before the end
IF the week.
