TERRIBLE STRUGGLE IS NOW ON
Unions of Unions defies government to do its worst
and orders general strike? Russia now face to face
with final contest between the powers that be on
one hand and people on the other
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan)
St. Petersburg, Dec. 20 ? The great union, composed
of all the minor unions, has issued its challenge defying
the national government to do its worst. It has ordered
the long-threatened and much-dreaded general strike,
which will extend to all industries and all lines of com
merce in every portion of the Russian empire. The
strikers make common cause against the government and
against Count Witte. The strike renders everyone obey
ing it liable to arrest and punishment by the government.
It is now admitted that Russia is face to face with
the greatest crisis in its history. The strike order marks
the eve of the final ssruggle for supremacy between the
government and the people. Only the foolhardy dare to
predict what the outcome will be. It might result in a
republic or the continuation of a monarchy in the end,
but it is almost certain that there will be a veritable hell
before either shall have been finally established.
JAPAN AND CHINA CANNOT
AOREt ON IREATY
(Special Dispaih to the Daily Alask m.)
Tokyo, Dec. 20? Baron K >mura is

! the treaty began shortly after the
agreement at Portsmouth was reached.
It is suspected here that pressure is
being brought to b.-ar on Chinaby Rus
sia, Germany and France to compel
that country te deny the demands of
Japan.
