sc. Petersburg, Aug. S.The work
mems council has decided to call on
the strike in st. Petersburg. This
action does not apply to the PROVINCES

example. zl.o. a.

while the employees Of some Of the
establishments at Moscow are still out

ttreme parties who organized the strike
movement we're fulfilled, Many Of the
trades unions totally refused to join in
Ut, the railroad men, whose co-operar
tion was vital, could not be induced to
give the signal for a strike owing to
fear that a majority Of the men would
not obey and there was no sign Of a
serious peasant movement.

the leaders undoubtedly were a great
factor Ia bringing about the present
situation 1t Is apparent that the mo-
ment was i'll chosen for q strike. The
people were not In the temper to sup
port it As a consequences the reYolu-
tionary le0lers, who really inspired il
with the intention of ansforming the
movement into an armed uprising
have suffered severe loss OF prestige
and the proletariat organizations
through which they worked have been
SO weakened in the eyes Of the masses
