States Portland Cement plant, has re-
ceived notice that he must make him.
self scarce or he will go the way Of his
cousin. Chris Pappas, who was shot
and killed on the night of June IA.
Quite number Of Americans are in
the employ of the cement companies,
and they say that the feeling is bitter
against each Of the interpreters among
the. Greeks, only a few being at all in
sympath with their conduct
The Greeks seem to have possession
OF the idea that officers in this country
can do most anything even without
evidence. and when the labor commits
sioner and his assistant were here they
thought conditions would at once be
changed and those men who are alleged
to have mulcted them would be tahen
from their jobs The Greeks, however,
would give no evidence. and there was
no change in the condition of things.
According to some of the Americans
they have now taken the thing in their
own hands and will simply make away
with the men who have made it such a
hard matter to get and hold a job with
out paying not only the IS for the job
but 81 per month for the privilege Of
holding it.
Since the death OF his cousin, Chris
Pappas, it is said that George Chichus
has been very uneasy and it Is quite
probable that he will leave the job now
after the threats he has received. The
highest officials OF both the Lehigh
and Northwestern States are not at all
In favor Of the padrone system and do
not believe that 1t now evists or has
ever existed to any extent among their
