London.-A massacre has been
going on in Resht since Saturday.
according to official Persian kilograms
received in London. These state that
on Sunday 500 Persians were killed by
the Russians, many Of them being
women and children The people. it is
said. have been exhorted not to fight
and not to give the slightest proyoca-
ton, but the massacre still continues.
The government house has been bonn
barded and many government officials
and police have been killed. Private
houses have been demolished.
The details and the extent OF the
massacre are as yet unknown, tele-
graphic communication being in a
state of chaos.
II is evident that declaration OF the
Russian foreign Office made In st.
Petersburg that Russia will show
no mercy at Tabriz. Resht and
EnzeH, and will administer a les
son long to be remembered" is being
carried out to the letter. The full ef-
fects have already been felt at Tabriz
and are now being enforced at Resht-
EnZeli, 1t is feared, will be the next
place to be invaded and sacked and
its inhabitants massacred. Resht is
the capital of the Province OF Ghilan
and has 10000 inhabitants.

sia's ultimatum and after Persia had
shown every desire and disposition to
conciliate Russia and establish
friendly relations"
The Persian spirit is reported I'M
broken at TaDriz. Fighting continues
at intervals and that it is severe. is
evidenced by the fact that Russia has
ordered reinforcements rushed there
by automobile.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg says
the fighting at Tabriz is so vicious
that the Russian troops were COM
PEELED to abandon its protection of the
Russo Persian bank in that city.
Teheran-The cabinet notified W.
Morgan Snustef, the American treas
urer general OF Persia, OF his
dismissal from that Office This
follows the decision of the national
council and the ministry TO submit to
the demands contained in the Russian
ultimatum. The cabinet intimated to
Mr. Shuster that they would com
municate to him later their plans for
turning over his accounts to sue
cessor.
An indignation meeting was held
after announcement of Mr. Shusters
dismissal was made, to protest against
the so-ealled coup d'etat. but the
crowds were dispersed by the police.
All the opposition newspapers have
been suppressed and martial law
has been proclaimed.

after in placing him IN trial

covered that in one case the husband

in the other case the husband had

had offered TO pay part Of the cost.

ditions Now Existing.

Washington. - That labor unions
have no desire to condone the
crimes Of which the Mcnamara broth.
ers recently pleaded guilty at Los
Angeles, is the declaration OF Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation of Labor in a letter TO
unions OF the United States. The state
ment is signed by the ways and means
committee, which was named 10 raise

Contained in the statement Is the
following criticism Of the McNamaras:
Organized labor Of America has no

McNamaras II joins in the satisfac-
ton that the majesty Of the law and
justice las been maintained and the

their crime.
lit is cruelty unjust 10 hold the
men Of the labor movement either
legally or morally responsible for the
crime Of an individual member. No
such moral code or legal responsible
ity is placed upon any other associa-
ton Of men In our country.

may undertake The sessions Of the

doors that all may see and hear what

and the detective agencies extend the

BiaGc for conditions which produce
such men as the McNamaras is
thrown upon employers The state
ment says In this respect:
when Industrial conditions be

largely 10 the unreasonableness Of
employers. who regard every effort
Of the workers TO maintain their
rights and TO promote heir interests,
as nm invasion of employers preroga-
lives. which are resented with conse-
quent struggles. II employers will be
fair and tolerant they will find more
than responsive attitude on the
part Of organized labor. but. OF one
thing all may rest assured. that with
existing conditions OF concentrated
wealth and industry, the organized
toilers OF our country realize that
there Is no hope from abjeet slavery
