m.l-Late this afternoon it was evident
that the government had practically sue
ceeded i'll crushing the organization Of
the strike leaders here. The central
committee OF the Social Democrats was
captured and placed in prison in the
early hours and the greatest confusion
prevails in the revolutionary camp. The
hope OF the leaders was centered IN Mos
COW, but developments there indicated
complete failure of the strike. The rail-
way men who hold the key to the sltua-
ton refuse to quit their positions.

of worzmen's deputies, which met secret
