WAGES REDUCED
Wheeling Iron Workers Feeling
the Bad Effects of Depres-
sion in Business.

WHEELING. Oct. 22-The Whit
aker-Glessner Company has an
nounced reduction of ten per CEN
in the salaries of all officials and
heads of departments. and a reduc.
ton of the working days. dependent
on the amount of work to be done
of all other employees. The action
taken effects the employees of the
Whitaker-Gessner Company. Wheel
ing Corrugating Company and the
Portsmouth Steel Company.
The reduction. reluctantly made
is necessary because of the seriously
depressed condition of the iron trade
and the consequent necessity for re
in expenses.
A rumor was current about the city
yesterday that notices had been
posted in the mills of the United
States Steel Corporation that after
the first of the year a reduction in
wages would take place. This con
ditfon is said to have arisen over the
conditions Of business. 1t was also
intimated that other mills in the city
would adopt the same plan, but MT
Thomas Beattie, of the National Tube
Company. said he knew nothing OF
any such action.

ACTS ARE

from Paris, Reuters correspondent
sends the following: i
THE French Government is adj
dressing a note to the Powers sigma
tory to The Hague Convention of Oc-
tober, 1907 pointing out that the
German military authorities have
violated the articles of the conven-
ton in that on the tenth of August
this year, according to a. communica-
tion from the General in command
of the eastern forces, German troops
dispatched a number of wounded by
firing shots in their faces and that
the wounds of other injured people
were deliberately made worse by be-
ing torn open"
The correspondent adds that the
note will say further:
Also on that same date Bavarian
foot soldiers in the Montigny and
MontreuX districts, Systematically
fred villages through which they
passed without the slightest provo
cation, and villagers We're forced to
precede the German scouts on the
march.
"On August IL German troops
burned villages, massacred their in
habtants and drove the women and
children to the battlefield, and on
other occasions they murdered pris-
oners and shot the wounded.
The French Government will
leave to the earnest consideration of
the Powers such reprehensible acts
and criminal deeds that have never
before so dishonored civilized bellig-
erents.''
