MONKS WANT PANTS
' AND 60 ON STRIKE
Demand More Food and Less
Work and Also Want Pants
to Wear.
St. Petersburg', June 20.—The
♦Monks nt Maikopin, in Caucaususi
have started a strike and refuse
to work nr pray for the souls of
•the departed Russians ,or d'ejrd
tlie high priests unless they are
granted trousers and given more
food with less work.
We are unable to find Maikopin
'in the Encyclopedia, nor does I tie
dispatch give any reason why the
monks should desire to wear
trousers. We always thought the
monks had the best in the land
In live upon and received all the
wine needed to keep them feeling
tine, hut if the Russians are
Shortchanging the brethren we
hope the boys without, pants win
the strike. The member of the
Russian church recently recall
ed from Ellamar received a few
barrels of wine each season and
never lacked his trousers nor
failed of plenty to eat, so jvhy
,should the monks in Maikopin,
wherever that is, do without?
