The Tribune correspondent is au
thoriZed to announce that the command

responsible British quarters for the best
available man to advise on Armenian
affairs and Sir Frederick Morris was
designated for this purpose. He. with
General Weygand. was asked to re-

"MAssAcRES" ALLEGED
Missionary Says t4s Were Killed by
Japanese In One Village n

Toxic, Nov. 3O.--Canadian mission
aries in Manchuria have sent signed
statement to the Associated Press tell
ing of massacres alleged to have been
committed by Japanese troops in Chen
Tao. DIR. Martin, a Presbyterian mis-
sionary at Yong Jung, says:
"The japanese sent $4,000 troops into
this part of China with the seeming in
tenton of wiping out the entire Chris
tian community, especially young men.
Villages were methodically burned daily,
and the males in them were shot. Yong
lung Is surrounded by ring OF VIII
lagos, which suffered from fire and
wholesale murder" t
DIR. Martin gives accounts by sur
vivors which describe the japanese In.
fantry as surrounding the villages and
setting fire to the crops and shooting
the male inhabitants. He names thirty
two villages in which massacres oc-
Cured or which were burned. In one
village, he says, 14S persons were killed.
Reports received from other mission
aries tend to corroborate the story OF
DR.. Martin.
The war Office here informed the
correspondent that there were 5000
troops in the region referred to.
Churches and schools had been burned
only when there was evidence that they
were being used for the purpose of Gre
ating disaffection. It was also de-
clared that the only villages burned
were those in which majority of Che
inhabitants were leagued with outlaws.
A commission of inquiry has been
sent to the scene.

BY BROTHERHOODS
Leaders Will Stop Trying to
Restrain Men, Unless Wages
Are Adjusted
STONE DEMANDS RESULTS

Chicago, Nov. 3O.-Warning that the
ultra conservative" leaders of the
railroad brotherhoods would cease their
efforts to hold their men in check unless
some plan to adjust differences between
roads and employees is found, was de-
livercd to the United States Railway
Labor Board yesterday by Warren =.
Stone. Cleveland. grand chief of the
brotherhood Of Railway Engineers.
Appearing before the board with Of
fcials of fifteen other recognized rail
way unions. Mr.. Stone announced that,
after being classed "for seventeen years
as an ultra conservative, have arrived
at the point where am through max
ing excuses to the men.
There must be some plan found
somewhere. some place. whereby we
can get results for these men," Mr..
Stone continued
''Thc locomotive engineers have car
ricd the load of responsibility for years.
We have tried to embody your boards
decision of last July in agreements with
25S railroads, but only four of these
agreements have been signed. The
roads refuse to sign until the boar'i
passes on the question of rules.
The decision last July raised railroad
wages 5000. 900, 900.
With Mr.. Stone appeared officials of
the other employees organizations ask
ing the board to have a hearing to dc
eide on the creation of national boards
of adjustment which would hear ami
pass on controversies other than wage
disputes. The matter has been pending
for some time. due to the fact that ad-
justment boards created under United
States Government control have no
jurisdiction over disputes arising since
the roads passed to private control.
As result of the officials declara-
tions yesterday afternoon. the board
agreed to an immediate executive hear
ing on the request. and If it decided
to comply. an early hearing will be set

Rmllish on the Rails

There was continued conjecture in
speculative circles about the time at
which the formal statement of the
Southern Pacific oil land distribution
viii be made, but those who are sup
posed to be informed about Southern
l'acific affairs said that they did not
expect the statement will be issued this
week. Many Of the traders who have
been actively engaged on the short side
or the market were disposed to take a
bnllish position on railroad stocks gen
orally, and some of them were buyers Of
low priced issues on both Saturday and

This element may be expected to con
centratc efforts in stocks like Rock Is

those stocks are looked on as good bull

Western Money Conditions Unchanged

Western Money Conditions Unchanged
Moner market conditions in the West
offer little change in the way OF what
may be considered improvement. The
liquidation of commodities and Securl-
ties has increased somewhat and. while
leading banks report a decrease in the
volume of lpahS. deposits have also ac-
cordingly Go creased.
The important feature in financial
circles. which has met with considcra-
bic discussion and which has great
bearing upon the money situation. is
found in the attitude OF the farming
communities. which do not show dis
position to liQuidatc their loans held at
the banks. which could be brought about
by the shipping of grain and cattle.
Prominent bankers are of opinion
that the agricultural districts should he
willing to share in the process of liQui-
dation. as well as other lines of bust
ness. and not resort to boarding. in
hopes of market prices tending higher
later on.

HOTEL PHONES
CUT TO5CENTS
Public Utilities Commission
Rules on Maximum for
City Calls.
ORDER MAY BE IGNORED
Managers Intimate They
Will Await Instructions
From Wire Company.
ORDER MAY BE IGNORED

Washington hotel men were sur
prised yesterday when the District
Public Utilities Commission ruled
that cents is the maximum that
can be charged for local telephone
call from hotel or apartment
house here 1t is not known,
whether they will comply with the
order. or oppose it, as a number
of New York hotel proprietors did
when a similar ruling was an
nounced there.
1.-THE Utilities Commission took
action when il received a complaint
that some hotels here charge 10.
cents for telephone calls. The s.
cent rate was fixed by Postmaster
General Burleson. when the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany was under government control.
Last fall the commission decided to
continue the BurleSon rates indefi-
nitcly but made no mention of the
hotel rate.
a number Of hotel men said yes
terday they had been charging 10
cents for calls from rooms since
the government relinquished con-
troll Of the telephone company. The
telephone company has been re-
ceiving 5 cents as it's share of each
call and the hotels have been retain
ing the balance as service
charge"
Well probably. wait until the
telephone company notifies us to
hold to a scent rate before deciding
what we will do" Frank S. Hight,
president Of the New Willard, said:
We will give careful consideration
to the commissions reasons for a
"-cent maximum, but / can't say
what the various hotels will do"
