Though the industrial tie-up in St. Pe- , tersbuis yesterday was even more 'com- : iiiete ttian it vas w euuesciay, ana though no break was manifested in the 1 ranks of the workmen and strikes have broken out at Jlusemv and Keval, the j most important feature 'of yesterday's 'developments- was the failure of the 1 ikout to spread generally outside the .,;, i ti.- . . ,.., . nnarant.lv capital. The movement apparently lacks the spontaneity- anil contagious ness of the last gerat strike which broke out at Moscow, and dispatches received from the industrial centers of Russia up to this hour show little inclination on the part of the workmen to take up cudgels in behalf of Poland. The factory strike at .Moscow, which has assumed considerable proportions, probably 45,000 men being out, has no direct connection with the St. Peters burg walkout, and dispatches from the old. capital say that the railroad men received the request of -the St. Peters burg strike comniittee coldly. The whole great network of railroads center ing in Moscow, except the St. Petersburg line, is still in operation. At Reval the employes of the railroad shops struck, but the reason for the strike is not stated... In St. Petersburg vesterdav passed e with complete-order, ' Patrols were visi ble m all the iiiilusti ml iiuarters ami Cossaeks were trotting, up and down the .evsky prospect among the swittly dashing carriages and sleighs, but the workmen, in obedience to the orders of the strike comimtioe. kept generally in doors and did not attempt demonstra tions, so that there was iio occasion for a resort to force to avert trouble. The strikers .'-forced the closing of the Moscow railroad station early yesterday afternoon, stopping,. outgoing traffic for Moscow, and at In o'clock last night thev tinallv .succeeded in closing the electric stations and in cutting oil light i ! roni trie c.ty. i onmiiiiees were sent j i to all the theatres and succeeded in stopping the pcrtonnanees in several of; them, and in t lie .outlying districts they went from drug store to drug store or dering tne ihannacists to close and threatening tlienr with the 'destruction of their stocks if they refused. Other stores were not interfered with. At a meeting of the strike committee last night the question of the termina tion of the strike was not brought up. but the Associated Press noticed an ex pectation on the part of ninny of the j delegates that the strike would end Sat- ! urday : night. The principal question under discussion at the meeting was the formation of a strike treasury by gath. cring ..funds', to. be used in future walk outs, and after long consideration it was decided to ask the workmen to contrib ute one per cent, of tlieir wages for this purpose. ...
