the collapse of the strike the lead
ers of the "Reds" say they will
not devote their energies to tbe
preparation of the political strike
to sustain tbe revolutionary pro
gramme when the National As
sembly meets. These plana-which
were suddenly upset by the pre
cipitation of the railroad strike
last month are exceedingly and
bitioua involving tbe co-operation,
not only of the workmen of the
cities bnt tbe peasantry and. if
possible, the army and navy. The
propaganda among the soldiers
and sailors will be pushed ener
getically. The leaders already
claim that tbey have organized
the peasantry in five districts of
Kharkoff province, tbe peasants
having agreed not to work for the
landlords when the strike is called.
They anticipate that tbe famine
which is at the doors of almost
15,000,000 peasants of the central
provinces, according to estimates,
will prove an effective ally of the
agitation as they can promise to
give the peasants land to nnlimit-,
ed extent. The Dlatne which ia

the Vistula region may also be
made to server tbe purpose of ar- .

tious peasants. Tbe leaders will
