at 155 %.

inclusive.
By order of the Emperor Alexander III
were made mass arrests.
Leaders and 33 workers were tried.
The court found that from 1/3 to half of the earnings
were deducted in fines in favor of the manufacturer.

to introduce a law of 1886, by which the penalties were going
not in the pocket of the manufacturer, and was spent on the needs of the workers.
