According to the report the Emperor

BACKBONE OF STRIKE ,
IS DECLARED BROKEN
St. Petersburg, 'Nov. 18 1:45 a. m.
Though, according to surface indica
tions yesterdny, the outlook ' for the
speedy ending of the strike was gloomy,
the revelations made at a meeting last
night of the council of the workmen's
delegates showed that a large portion
of the workmen were breaking loose
from the control of the leaders and wore
anxious to return to work. A plebisj'to
which will be taken to by the various
factories, probably will result in a de
cision to abandon the strike Monday. .
At the meeting of the council which
was held in the same hall where lather
Gapon, Maxim Gorky and other leaders
denounced the Emperor on the evening
of January 22d ("Bed Sunday"! dele
gate after delegate from different fac
tories vose and reported that the work
men, under the influence of the ulti
matum issued by the employers, an
nouncing that the factories should be
shut down indefinitely unless w,ork were
resumed on Monday, and with the plead
ing of their wives and of the conserva
tive workmen ringing in their ears, were
demanding that the strike should be
ended. .
This precipitated a hotly contested de-

dared that the strike in the first in-
that it would be a graver error in tactics
yfo attempt to force the men to remain
win line, and the "last ditch" faction, es
pecially the unattached delegates who
are members of the council by virtue of
their membership in Socialist organiza
tions. One fiery speaker, who in order
to be better seen and heard, mounted
the balcony from which Father-. Gapon
in disguise had delivered his last ad
dress in that hall, thundered his denun
ciation of those who wished to discon
tinue their struggle.
After a lone discussion, a motion to
can otr the strme was rejected, ana it
was decided to call meetings of work
men in the factories today for the pur
poso of laying the situation before them
and to ahide hv their derision.
The leaders, however, were determin
ed not to permit the strike to die with
out a final great demonstration of their
power to render St. Petersburg "dead
city. After the adoption ot the reso'
lution calling for a referendum, it was
decided to bend every effort to close
every store, ninrkct and office, beginning
ar. 11 o'clock this morning and to stop
all street and carriage traffic in the

the injuring of the machinery and the

to the extent of destroying the plants.

intend to take aggressive action today,
and asking them to co-operato with the
police against the agitators "who are
making life unbearable."
The strikers laid stress on encourag
ing news from the interior, which they
aid they would he able to place before
the workmen today, but last night'
dispatches showed little confirmatory
evidence of such news.

r. h. McNeill.
Washington D. C., Nov. 17. The
President's annual message will go to
Congress Tuesday, December 5th, thus
giving the legislative branch of the gov
ernment the first da v of the session to
mes-
the
cop-spa-
news-
paper olliees all over the country, fin
ancial interests, especially, are attach
ing much importance to the message,
which is awaited this year with unusual
interest, because of the important sub
jects that are to be discussed.
: Democrats in Congress are very much
worried over the prospect that minority
representation on committees will be re-
iduceil, giving the Republicans tvelve, in
i stead of eleven, and the Democrats live,
I instead of six assignments. Minority
Leader Sharp Williams has requested
Speaker Cannon to leave Democratic
representation as at present and givo
the Republicans an additional commit
teeman. The objection is that the coin-,
inittees would be made too large. It
is claimed that Mr. Williams will re
fuse to make up the Democratic com
mittee if the minority is deprived of any
of its present representation. The
Democratic lender feels that he would
be embarrassed in taking old friends
from the important committees, and in
event or reduction lie will place the
i responsibility of this undertaking with
the Speaker , hen Joe Jtailey, now
Senator from Texas, was minority leader
in the house, be refused to make up the
Democratic committees, and Speaker
Reed successfully accomplished the task.
While there are lots of minority com
mittee vacancies the most impoitan are
two 011 Wavs and Means, two on Appro-
: PliallOllS ami IWO Oil AgrlCUllUrO. j!
j prescntative Pou is spoken of for the
Wavs and. Means and Representative
Page for the ...Agricultural Committee.
Representative Blackburn was a mem
ber of the Committee on the District of
Columbia when he served in the Fifl v-
seventh Congress, and it is believed that
he will be given 1 he same assignment,
as two Republican vacancies exist there.
Many of the Democratic representatives
are already letting Mr. Williams know
of their preferences for committee work.
Gravestones for Confederate Dead.
Two thousand five hundred dollars
was appropriated by Congress for the
erection of headstones nt the graves nf
approximately 200 Confederate soldiers
in Arlington National Cemetery, the
headstones furnished of a design similar
to those placed at the graves of Union
soldiers, except that the tops are point
ed instead of rounded, and the service is
designed by the letters "C. S. A." There
