The Russian Revolution
(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Per Press Association.) ST. PETERSBURG. Nov-17. Count Witte, addressing the Strikers' Association as brothers, appealed to them to resume work and cease disorder • to have pity on their-wives and children and turn a deaf ear to mischievous coun. sels. He declared the Czar had ordered special attention to be devoted to the labour question, ana therefore he has appointed a Minister of Commerce and industry which would establish just reJations between masters and men. " Give us tune," he continued. " I will do all that is possible if you give heed to the advice of the man who wishes you well." Ine Council of Workmen's Delegates and many hundreds of the better class of workmen met to consider a reply. One speaker vehemently attacked witte, denouncing him as a partisan of the ruling class and declaring that such as he were the chief cause of so many widows and orphans among the labouring classes. It came badly from the authorities to affect such anxiety which was intended to deceive the people, whose eyes, however, were perfectly open. It was resolved to continue the strike indefinitely.
