also as a precautionary measure gathered
in large number of the leaders of the
working men whom they will detain over
Monday. Heavy guards tonight began pa

1t is stated that these special measures
will be in force only until Tuesday. If
Monday passes without disorder, the au-

will reign until the critical period of the
elections to the douma.
The street railway employees and the

decree of the workmens council will be
only partly obeyed in the factories and
commercial houses.
The Moscow workmen have not recover
