Strike spreads through Russia over railroad strike
In St Petersburg a meeting of about 8,000 railway workers decided to strike on all railways operating from the city starting tomorrow. Deputations were to be sent to Prince Hilfoft and Count Witte to press for political reforms, including a constituent assembly with universal suffrage. The session, with many students present, debated the rail dispute amid revolutionary speeches. Deputations met Count Witte, who urged private talks and warned some demands were unlikely, while promising freedom of assembly and press. The meeting postponed action pending the deputation’s interview.
