REDUCTION IN WAGES.

Many Fall River Operatives Were
 Given Notice To-day.
 Fall River, Nov 11.-Notices were posted in the cotton mills of this city this afternoon announcing a general reduction of 10 per cent in wages, to take effect November g. About 30,0O0 hands will be affected. The cut is at tributed to the unsettled state of the cotton goods trade resulting from the phenomenally high price of raw ma terial and the pronounced hostility to buy by the usual purchasers. As soon as news of the cut was announced mo- tification was sent to the union offi- cials, some of whom were in Boston attending the labor convention Ar engagements are being made for con- ference of the United Textile Workers as soon as possible. It is thought there will be no general strike as the manufacturers are short of cotton and have large stocks of goods on hand. A strike, therefore, would be of little consequence.

STRENGTH OF THE U. s. ARMY
DOWN THE HARBOR.
Labor Delegates at Boston Guests of
 Mayor Collins.

Boston. Nov 1.-The session of tho convention of the American Fedora tion of Labor was resumed to-day at FaneuiI hall with almost all the dele gates in attendance. After the re- ports of the various committees had been read yesterday and the perpfex- ing questions of the seating or unseat- ing of protested delegates had been disposed of large number of. resolu- tions were offered by members of the convention and the plan of business as arranged for to-day was that the com mittee on distribution should place these in the hands of the proper com mittees so that consideration of them might speedily be begun. These res olutions are upon great variety Of subjects. Many are protest against alleged unlawful assumption of juris- diction by stated affiliated unions, but most of them are intended to commit the federation to some determined pol icy in connection with the great ques- tions of the day.
 President Gompers' idea was to eX- pedfte business at the forenoon session today because in the afternoon the delegates were to take part in an ex- cursion down the harbor as the guests of Mayor Collins.
 At the opening of the forenoon sit ting, William Mullen. a fraternal dele gate from the Textile Operatives or ganization of Great Britain, was called upon by President Gompers for brief address. Delegate Mullen spoke of the trade conditions in Great Britain. He said that one result of the Taft Vafe case in England. which estab- lished the precedent that union could be sued for boycotting, would be that labor men would send a greater num- Der of labor candidates to parliament to work on trades union lines.
 James OGTady. the other British delegate, who is the general secretary Of the Cabinetmakers and Upholsterers of Great Britain, also was introduced. He said that the success of trades unionists in England has been due to the fact that they have adapted them selves to the conditions surrounding them. He said that many of the Eng fish court justices were drawn from a class antagonistic to workmen and as a consequence their decisions were biased. Delegate O'Grady made an earnest plea that the representatives of labor both in America and England join hands in one great universal body of organized labor. This suggestion was received with prolonged cheers.

ANOTHER ARMENIAN DEAD' Was Found Lifeless in His Room
 at Chicago

His Friends Inclined to Think He Was
 Killed-Coroner's Inquest Says
 Death Was Accidental-The Man
 Was Suffocated by Escaping Gas.
 Chicago, Nov 1.-The friends of Roopan Dyeian, young Armenian. who was found dead in bed yesterday, are of the opinion that he was mur dered, and class his death with the assassinations of Armenians which have been taking place of late in diff ferent parts of the old world.
 Dyeian was suffocated by the gas which escaped from an open jet in his room, and the coroner's inquest which investigated the affair declared that he had either committed suicide or had met death accidentally, there being no direct evidence to support either the Ory
 It is said by people living in the fiat building in which Dyeian had taken rooms with an Armenian family that on Saturday night and Monday night strange man was seen in the halls, and that when questioned he could give no good reason for his presence. It is thought by the friends of Dyeian that the man made his way into the room where the young man was asleep and turned on the gas.
 Dyeian had but lately arrived in this country and was compelled to leave his native land on account of his 1den- tification with the revolutionary party.

Came to Town To-day and Treasurer
 Moran Made Him Happy. %

MRS SCADDEN A WITNESS.
Paid $1 for House so as to Keep It
 Out of Probate.

Out of Probate.
 The Lawlor-Scadden case began its ninth day ill the superior court this morning, which makes the beginning of the third court week it has been on trial. The beginning of the end came to view this afternoon when Mrs Scad den, one of the defendants, took the stand. She denied the statement made by Mrs Dwyer that she cuffed old man McGivney, her uncle, one day and pushed him into the house, and that on another occasion she locked him out at II o'clock in the night. She explained this latter incident by say ing that someone called to inform the old man of the death of a friend, and that she had been asleep for some time. hence loud knocking on the door was occasioned. She denied ever striking the old man. ...-
 She said he called at her house three times before she consented to keep house for him. He told her she would get his house and some of his money. but how or when he did not say. She did not know how much money he had; she never asked him about it and knew nothing about his deeding the house to her until he told her. She did not know where he kept the deed.
 Until she went to his house there were no carpets or rugs there. When he was trying to prevail upon her to keep house for him he often said she was the only one of his relatives that he cared to ask. It was agreed she should pay only So a month rent, and she paid this sum until she bought the house. She bought it at his re- quest. paying him $1 for it, because it was his idea it was better she should get possession of the house in that manner than by will. It would save probate expenses. he thought. and pos sible trouble.
 Mrs scadden said she did not mind how much work she did for the old man because she knew she would be well paid for it. and she was sure his wife did not object to her presence ill the house.
 The case may close tomorrow.
