BERLIN, March 28.Two outstand-
ing features Of the last fortnight are
the vastly increased power of organized
labor, which was responsible for the
ousting of Premier Bauer and the sud
den intensitication of hostility toward
everything military, with the result
that it may be impossible to maintain
any army effective enough to preserve
domestic tranquility.
The new government formed by Her
man Mueller is expected. to be stort
lived, and even its supporters concede
that there must be reorganization
following the general elections for the
National Assembly, which probably will
take place in May or June. "Vor-
waerts,' in printing the names of the
ministers in the new government
added that the list was final, "unless
further difficulties arise in the course
of the negotiations between the Cabi'
net and the labor unions" This shows
clearly how firmly the unions are in
the national saddle.
The hostility toward the army ex-
plains the complicated situation in the
Essen OlSCIlCC, WucIc Nudol SVVcAu-
ment Of Communists and Independent
Socialists is in power, although it has
now made compromise with Herr
Giesberts, who represented the Berlin
government. Although Giesberts yielded
to nearly all the demands made by the
Essen officials, he was unable to in
duce the "Reds" to withdraw their
army and to suspend hostilities.
Besides Vessel, the fortress at Co
burg, is held by troops which refuse
to surrender, although President Ebert
has sent them a message demanding
that they give up mmediately.
General Mercker, who made good
reputation last year by smashing the
"Red" forces, has struck his colors
and resigned command Of the Saxon
forces because the Socialist news
papers made sharp attack on him
for his relations with DR.. Wolfgcng
Kapp, leader of the recent revolt.

CONSTANTINOPLE, March 2S.-Es-
tirnateS Of casualties during the mas
sacres at Marash last month, sent here

at about 5000 Armenians. During the
disorders fifteen Turks we're killed.
There are 10000 Armenian refugees
in Marash, of whom 1000 are sheltered
in American orphanages and hospitals
Americans also are caring for wounded
Turks. but there Is great suffering al
Marash because of lack of supplies,
doctors and nurses. A wagon train OF
American supplies was pillaged early
in March between Aintab and Marash.
Forty per cent Of the buildings at
Marash were destroyed or rendered un-
inhabitable during the massacres.
Nearly all the shops were destroyed
and more than half Of the churches
and mosques were laid ip ruins.
The hills are so full Of armed bands
that travelling is almost impossible, but
two more American doctors are now on
their way to Marash from Adana, under
guard of Turkish gendarmerie.
The situation is comparatively quiet
at Marash, but great uneasiness is re-
ported from there lest the French
troops attempt to Renter the town
The advices declare this would endan-
ger the lives of all Armenians.
No word has been received in Con-
stantinople as to what the effect has
been on the cities in Anatolia Of the
military occupation here by the En-
tente,

Polish Herbert Hoover
Explains Less-Pay Plea
Rail Workers Want to Increase
Ne,U Nations Output, Declares
Food BUYER on Arrival Here


The conviction of railway workers in
Poland that only by speeding up indus
try and increasing production can their
recreated nation become truly pros
porous is the motive back of their de-
mand for longer hours and less pay,
according to Stanis1as J. Arct, pur-
chasing delegate of the Polish Minis
try of Food, who has just reached the
United States.
Mr.. Arct, the "Polsh Herbert
Hoover" at the Hotel McAlpn yester-
day gave that explanation of the un-
usual labor dispute that has developed
in the transportation system of his
country.
"The workingmen of Poland" he said,
have seen so much of privation and
have become SO intimate with the need
of production and economy that they,
and not the employers, are demanding
enforcement of the production demands
OF the government to the fullest ex-
tent. I know of cases where workers
were expelled from organizations on
the vote Of their own colaborers be-
cause the accused one refused to do his
full share of work"
Mr.. Arct said after general increase
in pay had been awarded railroad en-
ployees recently, with shorter working
hours, the men themselves called gen
eral meeting and adopted resolution
asking that their pay remain at it's
! original figure and. that they be in
structed to work one hour more each
day instead of one hour less.
"This is the spirit of the people,
Mr.. Arct continued, Gin a country
where the war has stung to the very
heart Of every man, woman and child.
Our people know their salvation lies
alone in work, hard work, and more and
more production"

wehr forces to-day occupied Dinslaken
eight miles southeast Of Vessel, on the

DUSSELDORF, March 20 (By The
Associated Press).-Three representa-
tives Of the government arrived here to-
day from Berlin. They went immedi-
ately into conference with the work
mems central committee. IT is said,
however, that they did not cone to con-
duct negotiations and are without
power, but to investigate the situation
fare in the Ruhr mining and indus
trial district, which has been in prog
ress for the last eight days, and
Of the struggle between troops and
workingmen elsewhere in Germany, is
hoped for by the members Of the
Workers Executive Committee here as
the result of the proposal drafted by
the general conference of workmen in
Essen to-day. This proposal provides
for cessation Of the siege Of Wesel
and other uprisings. The Reichswehl
Of the Ruhr district, concentrated al
Vessel, have been beleagured there TO,
the last six days.
The terms of the workmen's proposal
the governments acceptance had not
been received late Saturday night.
The proposals, according to the work
mems leaders here, provide that both
the Reichswenr and the workmen
around Vessel and elsewhere cease hos
tilities and each force retire a certain
distance, a neutral zone being estab-
lished, but that the workmen be per-
mitted to retain their arms. According
to the agreement the settlement pre-
viously reached at Bielefeld would be
enforced, with the addition of the
clauses just cited.
Reluctant to Trust Government
A member of the Dusseldorf ex-
ecutive committee, Friedrich Stahl.
said frankly to-day that the Bielefeld
agreement had not been enforced be-
cause the workmens' army was re-
luctant to trust the government to full
fiji it's part of the pact.
Under the present plans, if an agree
ment is reached, the various executive
committees now said to be in control
of all the cities in the Ruhr district
would resign within ten days after it
became effective, but would neserve
the right to resume control if they
deemed it necessary. A part Of the
difficulty with the troops, according to
Stahl, is the problem Of where to find
the funds to pay them in full. This,
however, was being remedied, he said,
through promises exacted from the
employers.
