sia is meeting with increased internal opposition.
Kronstadt, 20 miles west of Petrograd, is the main fortress guarding the Russian capital and is the main port of entry to the capital from the Baltic sea. The workmen’s and soldiers’ delegates there not only have taken charge of the town but have declared that they do not recognize the provisional government. The council announced that all relations between Kronstadt and Petrograd hereafter will be carried out only through the Petrograd branch of the workmen’s and soldiers’ delegates, which recently caused the overthrow of several members of the Russian cabinet.
More than 120 of the largest factories in Petrograd are threatened with a complete tieup of strike demands made by workmen. Several factories already have been tied up by strikes and a conciliation board is endeavoring to bring about an agreement between the workmen and their employers.
AI Notes
Three newspaper clippings mounted on the page. Top: an advertisement for the Academy of Music (‘The New Home of Keith Vaudeville’). Middle left: a ‘Meetings’ column carrying notices for Strict Observance Lodge No. 73 A.F.M. and the Hibernian Mutual Insurance Company of Charleston, dated June 1, 1917, with a ‘Tax Notice’ beginning beneath. Right: the latter portion of a wire dispatch headed ‘(Continued from Page One)’ reporting on conditions in Petrograd and Kronstadt.
These clippings come from a Charleston newspaper of 1 June 1917 — the issue that also carried the obituary of Maj. Theodore G. Barker (pp. 133–134), which is why the compiler kept the surrounding bits of front-page miscellany. The wire dispatch reports the Kronstadt soviet’s late-May declaration that it no longer recognized the Russian provisional government — an early flashpoint between the Petrograd Soviet and the Provisional Government that ruled Russia between the February and October Revolutions of 1917.
