The American Vice-Gonsal to Ambassador Meyer.

Warsaw, October 11, 1906.

Sir: I have the honor to confirm my yesterday’s wire, running thus:

“Lodz general strike owing (to the) execution (of) five terrorists.”

The strike, which was extended to Zgierz and Pabjanice, in vicinity of Lodz, was of demonstrative character and is not likely to hold on.
