THE MORNING -OHEGOyiAy, SATUKBAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1905. KILLED BY DOZENS Polish Strikefs Shot Down by Repeated Volleys. I0NFLICT AT SEVERAL TOWNS Workmen Try to Enforce Strike, but Are Driven Off With Deadly Fire Renewed In St. Petersburg Wlfh New Demands. BERLIN, Feb. 1L According to press dispatches from Kattowitz, Hussion Poland, a collision occurred betweon 15,000 strikers and the military at the Russian station of Skarzysko, in which 24 strikers wore- killed and 40 wounded. The mili tary, it Is also reported, fired on strikers at Ostrowlcz, but the casualties are not known. The Lokal Anzcigcr'e Warsaw dispatch givee the number of strikers killed at Lodz on Thursday as 19, wounded 112. These figure's apply to only part of the dis turbances. The sharpest fight took place before the factory of the Schiedlcr Com pany, the number of strikers killed or wounded not being reported. Two sol diers and one detective were killed. A strike is expected to break out on the Warsaw & Vienna Railway. "A dispatch from Soenovic nays: "A procession of strikers from Seagorgc go ing to Sielce, where a demonstration had bepn planned, was dispersed by the mili tay. who" freely used their swords and nhips. Troops continue to arrive In large numbers. The strikers have called a great ma."3 meeting for Sunday, which it Is feared will cause trouble." MANY KILLED AT SOSNOVIC Attack on Iron Works Repulsed With Terrible Slaughter. SOSNOVIC Feb. 10. On Thursday a in l invaded the yard of the Kathrinen works, demanding that the workmen in haige of the electrical machinery there 'cin in th strike. A company of soldiers .ntcrvened and a Polish olficor repeatedly called upon the people to disperse. They "cfused to leave unless they were accom panied by the workmen. It ia said that a rioter menaced the iflicer with a knife, whereupon he gave the order to fire, with the result that 23 persons, including a high school pupil who was passing, fell dead and S6 were, severely wounded. The wounded were re moved to a hospital, where seven "of them have died, A number of others were FligMly wounded. Many were wounded In the txck, and evidently they were try ing to escape. A large quantity of dynamite has been stolen from the explosive store of the Caslmir mines. It is supposed by strikers. IRONWORKERS ARE OUT AGAIN Frikc Breaks Out and Rapidly Spreads in St. Petersburg. ST. PETERSBURG. F.-b. 10. The ap-. prehension of further trouble with the strikers was partially justified today, when the whole of the workmen of the Putlloff Iron Works and- those of the Franco-Russian Works struck because the directors were unable to promise them a work day of eight hour. The men at the Putlloff Works, who yesterday announced their intention of trying to enforce an eight-hour day, reported at 7 o'clock, worked an hour, and then demanded to see the director of the works, who con ferred with the men's delegates. The lat ter demanded eight hours, no discrimina tion against the promoters of the recent strike and pay fur th week's strike. The director declared he was unable to accede to the demands, and thereupon 12,030 men of tho Putlloff Works went out. The employes of the Franco-Russian Works took similar action. In both cases tho men marched out quietly and formed groups in the streets. The troops continue to assure the main tenance of order at the Putlloff and Fran-o-Russian Wcrlts and at the other fac tories. Rumors wove rife yesterday evening that the men would go out In several "urge factories, and three English mlll3 aerlded In view of the gravity of tho sit uation to grant all their employes' de mands, including an eight-hour day. In creased wages and strike pay. This de cision was condemned by the majority of the employers, but the Englishmen point ed out that it was not advisable to wait :ntil the machinery of the law for re forming the conditions of labor had been ;ret in motion. Minister of Finance Kokovsoff has- sum moned a conference of factory Inspectors for February 28, to discuss state insur ance, hours of labor, medical aid and labor unions. A proposal of the .Minister that the manufacturers hold a similar conference was refused. Some 5000 of the Putlloff works strikers later Jpaversed the streets with the ob ject Estopping work at other factories, but troops barred their progress on the ZaballacskI Prospect, and the strikers then dispersed. There were also some unsuccessful at tempts to force an entrance into fac tories. Within a few hours the strike had ex tended to half a dozen large establish ments within a radius of a couple of miles of the Putlloff works. It is esti mated at this hour that all together 30, 000 have gone out. The strike has not yet extended to the other metropolitan dis tricts. The Putlloff strikers are quiet. The police continue to allow them to gather In groups in the streets. They also hold meetings in the fields. Tho whole district is constantly pa trolled by horse guards and Cossacks. Reserves are held ready near tho INarva and Moscow gates to prevent the strik ers from entering' the city In a body. A few thousand strikers evaded the troops and marched through side streets towards tho Nyborg quarter. In order to induce the men In tho factories there to come out. but the troops barred -the way and dispersed the crowd. The strikers are greatly Incensed against Manager Smirnoff, of the Putlloff Iron Works, whom they accuse of cut ting down wages. M. Smirnoff's residence inside the works is strongly guarded, a company of the Preobrajensky Regiment and 100 police being on duty there. been no disorder In St. Petersburg, and the authorities appear to have the situ ation well in hand In this respect. It is generally believed that such precau tions have been taken as will precludo the repetition of the bloodshed of Janu ary 22. Howevrr. circumstantial reports "that the revolutionary element is about to join with the strikers and resort to bomb throwing are causing apprehension. The workmen today held a. number of orderly meetings In open fields, and big assemblages arc scheduled for tomorrow. Sundav will be lh cranial time. Th position of the workmen is distinctly j weaKcr man it was tnree weeics ago. for they are without monsy, while the authorities are not repeating the mistake of underestimating the gravity of the movement or neglecting precautions. Father Gopon's organization still exist, but secretly, and it is less effective. On the other hand, the employers real ize the importance of a prompt settle ment of the workmen's grievances, but have allowed weeks to slip by without deciding on combined action. A few have made concessions, but the majority have refused, asserting that to allow the demands of the workmen would mean bankruptcy for the employers and they have resigned themselves of the care of tho Government. They appear to think the Government Is trying to make them shoulder the onus of settling a political, difficulty and have appointed a committee to draw up a memorial to Finance Min ister Kokovoff setting forth the position that the Government's persistant effort to conciliate the men has not borne the expected fruit and that the anger caused by tho events of January 22 has been augmented by the delay in settling their grievances. Reports from many factories show that the hands arc ripe for trouble and are likely to strike. Father Gopon's organization Is reported to have appointed 33. delegates to re quest Governor-General Trcpoff to per mit the workmen to send another repre sentative delegation to see the Emperor and present a programme of labor re forms, and in case of refusp.1 of this re quest to repeat the attempt to march to the Palace Square. But there is no confirmation of this rennrt. and it in doubtful whether the men can hn In- ! duced to re-enact their nart In thft lrr1v i i or January 22. 1 The dispute at the Putlloff Iron Works centers on the question of hours. Tie men since the resumption of .work there have been quitting at tho end of eight hours. The manager offered a propor tionate reduction of their pay, and yes terday posted notlcea threatening dis missal If the men did not work regular time, ten and a half hours. The men tore down the notices and this morning deiiverGd their ultimatum of eight hours with no reduction of wages. The man ager refused to concede the demand and the entire works were deserted within one hour. The strikers induced the em ployes of the chemical works and a sugar factory to join them, and the car works and other establishments in tho neigh borhood are already Idle. The accessions to the ranks of the strikers have reduced to Idleness the en tire region between the Moscow and Narva gates except the Russo-Amerlcan Rubber Works and one other factory. The scenes in the vicinity resemble those of the trouble some time In January. Stronc forces of Cossacks and mounted police during the. day trptted about the strike region or stood at case beside their horses at points when roublc was txperled. and Infantry ,ind marines ploddi-d yKAii tln rrad. Strong guard at the principal roads prevented striker from passing out in bodies to proselyte tho workmen of other qunrtorc. These workmen hav been orderly, and the troops hsw kept the roads " cJcar. but have not molested gatherings ot workmen In the fields. A large group of s-trikers noar the Putlloff Iron Works poured out the story of their grievances to the nemtpsper correspondents and the policemen stand ing by did not intosfire. "Wc are absolutely starring', but we aro determined m. to return to wort: unil ftr demands are granted." Uwy said, adding, sarcastically: "Those 58, 000,000 of Japanese gold must have gono astray or fallen into the hands cf Man ager Smyrnoff. The men are deeply angered against Smyrnoff. Rumors of an assault on him and his departmental superintendents and of the killing of police cples aro current, but the strikers themselres profess ig norance of any such affairs. A police man, who has been for many years on the Putlloff beat, confessed today that ho had never seen the men In such an ugly mood, for which he blamed students, who, he said, aro inciting them to at tack the works. Student demonstrations in tho Nevsky prospect, in evidence of their refusal to resume their studies until reforms arc instituted, forebode tho active participa tion of students in the present strike. While the workmen In the Putiloff quarter were resorting to a strike to settle their grievances, tho employes In a small factors won a victory on tho strike pay question today by resorting to the courts. They sued the manage ment for strike pay and got a favor able verdict ANY STRIKERS ARE KILLED Troops Fire on Mob Which Demands Pay More Trouble Threatened. LODZ. Feb. 10. Conflict between troops and strikers" took place here this after noon. According to one report, strikers fired on a detachment of soldiers from windows, and the latter then fired a vol ley into the crowd In the streets. An other report says one striker was killed and four wounded. Other persistent re ports estimate the number of killed at 20 and say that 50 were wounded. The con flict occurred at Louis Geyer's factory, where troops were lined up to prevent the men from entering to demand their pay. The strikers generally are enraged at the refusal of other manufacturers to give them their pay, and several encounters between mobs and troops are reported from different directions. A number of people were said to havo been wounded. The greatest alarm prevails here. The shops were closed early this afternoon and the windows were boarded up. The manufacturers today agreed on an ultimatum to the strikers to the effect that unless they return to work February 13, all the mills will be shut down in definitely. It Is reported that the Socialist organl- OUT AGAIN IN ST. PETERSBURG Being Refused Eight-Hour Day,, 30, 000 Workmen Strike. ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 10 (11 P. M.) St. Petersburg Is again face to face with a renewal of the labor upheaval, the immediate incitement being the failure of the workmen to secure payment for the time they were out on strike, added to the fact that there has been no adjust ment of tho demands which led to the strike last month. The Putiloff Iron Works, where the former strike originated. Is playing the principal part. There are 0.000 workmen already out within the metropolitan dis trict, and the workmen at the torpedo factor' In Kolpino, IS miles distant, have joined the strikers. There Is a strong prospect of the movement extending. Only energetic measures by the troops and police prevented the resumption to day of the former tactics of the strikers marching from factory to factory, and inducing or compelling employes to lay down their tools.- Thus far there has Scrofula It is commonly inherited.

It is feared, however, that the agitation has gone beyond tho control of the leaders. The manufacturers realize that they made a mistake In paying the men In ad vance. Today the strikers arc clamoring for another installment. The, Governor has issued an order prohibiting further payments and sent troops to one factors today to prevent the men from approach ing tho premises. The authorities arc making every effort to prevent bloodshed. The Governor has ordered tho troops not to Are unless attacked. The general situation Is far from re assuring. Reports which havo been cir culated here of proposaln to -raiso money in England for the benetlf of the strikors have created a bad impression.
