Decisions Questioned.

1t was pointed out that the board
has been operating for the past seven
months purely as medium of recon-
mendation in disputes arising in in
dustrial matters. and that the force
of it's awards lies in the confidence
reposed in it by employers and en-
ployes. This confidence has been
seriously challenged on several oc-
casions. it is. known, and in at least
two cases. employees. dissatisfied with
the awards made by the board. have
refused to abide by it's decision.

: STARVING ARMENIANS
Mrs. Cabot Stevens Hears Of Des-
perate Plight Of 10000
Refugees in the Caucasus.

Wholesale starvation and abject
misery prevail among Armenian
refugees in the Caucasus, according
to a telegram to Herbert Hoover, in
Paris, from Howard Heinz, American
food commissioner in the near east.
A copy of Mr.. Heinz's telegram has
been forwarded to Mrs. Cabot Stevens
Of this city. chairman Of the District
committee for relief in the near east.
That some Of the refugees. driven
frantic by hunger and suffering. have
resorted to cannibalism is true in Mr..
Heinz's opinion, the telegram states.
He says that food for at least SOC, 900
people will have to be provided in the
Caucasus regions for at least another
year.
AT least half Of the 500, 900 refugees,
the telegram says. are actually at
gathered in the fields and boiled into
a kind Of stew, sometimes. but not
often, thickened by addition Of a lit
tie rice or other grain. The death rate
among the children, due to this diet,
is already extremely high and Is
rapidly increasing.
With moderation Of the weather as
spring advances toward summer the
typhus epidemic Is abating, the tele-
gram says but cholera has appeared
and is on the increase.
With absolutely no textiles to be
had. the people are clad in filthy and
tattered rags, the only clothing OBJ
