R. R. STRIKE BEGINS
SATURDAY 6 P. M.
Only Successful Intervention of President
Wilson Can Avert a Strike. 40,000
Men Will Quit in the East Tc morrow
New York, Mach 15.—A "pro
gressive strike" of the 400,000
members of the four great railroad
brotherhoods, to begin at 6 o'clock
Central time Saturday, on Eastern
road, was ordered here late today.
The walkout will extend to all the
railroads of the country in five
days. Chiefs of the workmen's or
ganizations set the strike machine
in motion within a few moments af
ter an ultimatum delivered to the
conference committee of railroad
managers had been rejected. A
compromise proposal offered by the
managers was declined without a
debate.
Only successful intervention by
President Wilson, it appeared to
night, can avert a strike. The
brotherhood leaders gave no indica
tion that even an appeal from the
nation's chief executive can change
their purpose to obtain a basic
eight-hour day and pro rata time
for overtime through the use of the
'protective feature" of their organ
izations. They refused flatly to sub
mit their case to the eight-hour com
mission headed by Major General
George W. Goethals or to await the
decision of the Supreme Court on
the constitutionality of the Adam
son law.

PETROGRAD IN HANDS
OF REVOLUTIONIST
Czar Returns From Front To Find Power
Gone And City in Control of Semi
%
Republican Committee. ArmywithDiima
Petrogard, March 15.—The Em
peror of Russia has abdicated and
Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch
his younger brother, has been nam
ed as regent.
The Russian ministry, charged
with corruption and incompetence,
has been swept out of office. One
minister, Alexander Protopopoff,
head of the Interior Department, is
reported to have ben killed, and the
other ministers, as well as the presi
pent of the imperial council, are un
der arrest.
A new national cabinet is an
nounced with Prince Lvoff as presi
dent of the council and premier, and
the other offices held by the men
who are close to the Russian people.
For several days Petrograd has
been the scene of oné of the most
remarkable risings in history. Be
ginning with minor food riots and
labor strikes, the cry for food reach
ed the hearts of the soldiers, and
one by one of the regiments rebell
ed, until finally those troops that
had for a time stood loyal to the
government, took up their arms and
marched into the ranks of the revol
utionists.
The president of the Duma, Mich
ael V. Rodzianko, was the leading
figure among the deputies who un
animously decided to oppose the im
I St. Louis will be the first to leave
j their posts.
They will be followed on Sunday
by the same classes of workmen on
the Southern Railway, the Norfolk
and Western, the Virginia, Ches
peake and Ohio and a group of
Northwestern roads.
The formal outline of the brother
hood's program beyond the plans
for these two days was made either
to the managers or to the public. It
was said, however, that the freight
employees on the other roads in the
country would be called out in
groups at 12 or 24-hour intervals
after Sunday.
If the paralysis of freight traffic
thus caused does not result in sur
render by the railroads before that
time, the employes on all passenger
trains will be oredred out Wednes
day. The railroad managers said to
night they expected enough of their
men would remain loyal to enable
them to operate a skeleton service
on most roads« The managers some
time ago caused a census of their
employes to be taken to determine
how many would refuse to go on a
strike. This resulted, it was said, in
varying percentages, ranging from
a very few on some roads to from
fifty to sixty per cent on others.
The managers estimated that be
tween 30,000 and 40,000 men are
employed on the roads on which the
strike is to begin Saturday night.
perial order for a dissolution of the
house. They continued their sessions
and M. Rodzianko informed the em
peror, then at the front, that the
hour had struck when the will of the
people must prevail. Even the im
perial council realized the gravity
of the situation and added its ap
peal to that of the Duma that the
emperor should take steps to give
the people a policy and government
in accordance with their desire? and
in order that there should be no in
terference with carrying on the war
to a victorious ending.
The emperor hastened back fro.r
the front only to find that trie re
volution had been successful, and
that a new government was in con
trol. The empress,'who it is a!l?ged

reported to have fled or to be in hid
