were killed or wounded by the police.
When the Cossacks were called to the
aid of the police they fraterni2ed with
tho people. i...

Not fractional Revolt,

London, March l1.--A review Of the
Russian revolution forwarded from
Petrosrad by Il diplomatic official
says:
'It would be a misconception to be-
licvo that the revolt was started by II
faction or that it was accomplished
by great amount of bloodshed and
disorder. The actual trouble began on
protest against the food shortage.
These good natured crowds were treat

Managers Pessimi site.

The optimism of the brotherhood
chiefs. however was not shared by the
railroad managers. While no state
mcnt was forthcoming from them. it
was asserted that the settlement Of
the differences was entirely contingent
upon n decision on Monday by the sii.
premc court favorable to the Adamson
act. In that event 1t ,was understood
they agreed that they would acceet the
application of the law on the basis of
ten hours pay for eight hours work
with pro rata pay for overtime.
No other concessions were made and
the question as to what turn the sit
uation would take in the event of no
decision Monday or OF Il decision de-
claring the lAdamson law unconstitu-
tional, remained to be determined, ac-
cording to an official In close touch
with the managers.

Men Quit Work.

Mr.. Lees reassuring statement came
after he was informed that many men,
bers of the four brothcrhoods in Ohio,
West Virginia. Pennsylvania and IL
linois, failing TO receive word of the
postponcmcnt of the strike actually
had Quit work tonight. lie said he was
not surprised at this inasmuch as
there was SO little time--less than
three hours-n which to communicate
with the men.
That should be sufficient proof of
the fact that we are not talking idly
when we said all our members would
obey the strike order" said Mr.. Lee
I'VE knew they would-cvcry one of
them"
II was agreed with the railroads, he
added. that in the event of the men
failing to receive word of the change
in the situation and going on strike,
the railroad should not attempt to dis
ciplnc them in any way. Mr.. Lee said
he was confident that those who had
left their places would have returned
to work by midnight.
Mediators Successful.
The decision late today to postpone
the strike for IS hours was reached
only after three of the presidents me-
diators-Secretary Of the Interior Lane,
Secretary Of Labor Wilson and Daniel
Willard-had labored almost incess-
sanity since early last night with the
four brotherhood chiefs and the con-
ference committee of railroad mama
gers.
Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor who
also was appointed a mediator, did not
arrive in this city until tonight, cx-
planning that he had been at Atlantic
City and did not learn that his pres
ence was desired here until this after
noon.
