Agricultural Laborers Strike in Galicia

A DESPATCH from Vienna states that over 100,000 agricultural laborers in eastern Galicia, most of whom are Russians, are now on strike, and a full-fledged rising against landed proprietors is progressing. Stores have been burned and other excesses indulged in. The landlords have appealed for troops to protect them, but the government is advising the landlords to conciliate the laborers by an increase of wages. Russian students are joining in the movement.
