ANOTHER TURKISH MASSACRE
Members OF Armenian Relief Bands
Reported Killed


Plttshurg. Pa, Nov. 10. - Ara 2.
ChuUian. now y resident Of this city
the young brother OF Rev Q. b. Chut-
ian. who was murdered In the streets
OF Odessa, Russia, in daylight last
June. and leader OF the local Hunt
schagonist revolutionary branch OF the
Armenian patriots, has received adj
vices Of another massacre by Turkish
soldiers Of bands OF Armenians in Asia
Minor The butcheries occurred, ac-
cording to Mr.. ChuUian, about eight
days ago IN the city Of Bazayid.
In discussing the assassinatlons, Mr.
Chutjian said: The first band OF ID
Armenians, which was about one hour
in advance Of the second band, was at
tempting 10 reach Asia Minor from
Russian domain, in order to afford
some relief to the suffering Armenian
farmers in that territory. Entrance
from Russian 10 Turkish domain is OBJ
tainable only by means OF two passes
each fortified 6y strong block houses
The Turkish soldiers were informed
that the advance body OF the relief
band was coming, and the information
was furnished by a member Of the op
position party Of onr society In any
event when the band arrived at the
block house all were killed in cold
blood. Il was simply a cold-blooded
butchery. No one was spared, and the
second band halted some distance
from the frontier fearing that theiI
friends had fallen into the hands OF
the Turkish soldiers. The latter went
out TO meet the second expedition and
killed many OF them. Much money
and everything intended for Armenian
relief was confscated by the Turkish
soldiers"

ANTHRACITE MINERS CONTENT
Do More Work In Nine Hours Than
Thev Formerlv Did In Ten,

UCl FOllHNliJ OlA W 'Nhf
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Nov. i9.-The va
rious mine inspectors Of the anthra-
cite region report that during the past
few months the mine employees seem
10 be more contented and the relations
with the mine bosses are more har.
mOnious than ever before. Here and
there a slight irritation or misunder-
standing crops out over the interpreta-
ton OF a working agreement, but as a
rule this is speedily remedied.
The steady work and increase Of
wages have much to do with the con
tentment OF the men. and the better
knowledge OF the mining laws and
their enforcement, the working agree
ments and definite wage scale and
hours Of labor have made the position
of employer and employe better under
stood. The company hands work with
better spirit and seem TO be more
anxious to complete their labors and
duties under the nine-hour working
day than they formerly did under 10
hours. and It is said the men do more
work.
Students of labor conditions are
coming to the belief that men can do
more work in the mines In eight or
nine hour shifts than they can In 10
hours. and the contractors engaged In
rock work are first to recognize this.
The mine workers have been work
Ing only nine hours for a days work
since April !, and the output has not
been decreased. On the contrary, II
has increased, and the tonnage for this
year has broken all records by sevsral
million tons.
