LONDON, August IL, II :4e
pm. -Ex Premier Eleutherios
Venizelos today notified King
Constantine of his readiness to
form a new Grecian cabinet in
succession to the Gounaris minis
try, which resigned at the open
ing of the Grecian parliament
yesterday, according to a dispatch
to the Central News Agency
from Athens.
May Have. Understanding.
There is said to have been no restraint
during the interview today between the
king and the liberal leader such as has
been reported at previous audiences. 1t
is believed in Athens that the two have
arrived at an understanding which is
virtually complete.
The Times Athens representative sums
up the situation thus:
Until it is known whether Venizelos
will succeed in forming a cabinet he
cannot be said to have triumphed. Even
should he become premier his sympathy
for the allied cause might be hampered
by circumtances which would preclude
a return to the policy of Greek inter-
vention which he advocated in March.
Think Greece Is Won.
ROME, August II, via Paris, August
1s.-The press of Rome today is a
unit in welcoming the victory of for
mer Prime Minister Venizelos in the
Greek parliament. which is interpret
ed by the newspapers as definitely
committing Greece to the cause of the
entente allies.
Reports received by the Italian gov
ernment from Rumania, Bulgaria and
Greece show that military prepara-
tions in those countries are being car
ried on with intense activity. In some
quarters here this is taken as an in
dication that these states are nearing
a decision as to their policy in the
war.
Envoy Sees Rumanian King.

gust 1S.-The Tribune prints the fol-
lowing under a Bucharest, Rumania,

long private audience to the Greek
minister, who is member of the party
headed by Eleutherios Venizelos."

Quits as Premier of Greece
When 0verruIed by the King

The voluntary retirement last March
of Eleutherios Venizelos from the pre-
miership and public life in Greece fol-
lowing disagreement with King Con-
stantine. his brief seif-imposed exile
and the sweeping victory of his fol-
lowers in the parliamentary elections
of June, followed by his resumption of
the liberal leadership, constitute one
of the dramatic political chapters of
the war.
His resignation as premier in March
Of this year because the king did not
approve his foreign policy, which would
have enlisted Greece in the war on the
side Of the allies. caused a sensation
Throughout Europe. He had insisted
from the beginning of hostilities that
they afforded Greece an opportunity
such as might never come again for
realizing her territorial aspirations.
Made Good His Threat.
When it became known that the king
would insist upon the maintenance of
neutrality the premier declared that
he would resign if overruled by the
crown, and made good his threat.
For more than month after his re-
tirement, NJ. VeniZelos conducted an ac-
tive anti-neutrality propaganda and
engaged in a controversy with NJ. Cour-
naris after the latter became premier.
He then announced his retirement from
public life, and declared that he would
leave Greece, not to return until he was
summoned by his king. He chose Alex
| andria, Egypt. for his exile. and was given
an enthusiastic welcome there. He later
went to Cairo. but returned to Athens

tions two daysNlater. his candidates win
ming 1913 seats in parliament.
Dispatches from Athens late last week
stated that King Constantine would offer
the premiership to NJ. Venizelos only with
the understanding that he adhere strictly
to a policy Of neutrality. There has been
no official information as to whether this
kstatement, was authoritative.

MAY FIX XASTANDARD
FOR STREET CAR LOADS

A fixed standard of street car load
ing NAV be adopted by the public utili-
ties commission.
Request by the Washington and Old
Dominion Railway Company that it be
advised as to what constitutes an over
crowded car is expected to result in a
revival of this question, which previ-
ously has been considered by the COM
mission.
1t is understood that the utilities
board has tentatively under considera-
ton a plan which would recognize as
crowded car one in which from so to
rs per cent of the seating capacity is
occupied as standing room. When this
limit is reached the motorman would
be required to display crowded, =,
sign and additional passengers wouio
not be admitted.
The railway company's request was
the result Of it's having been served
with a notice that observations made
by the utilities commissions inspectors
showed oVercroWded conditions on the
cars leaving for Great Falls during the
afternoon rush hours.
Conditions Pointed Out.
"In a number of instances" the COM
mission stated, las many as twenty
seven, twenty-eight and thirty-three
passengers in excess of the seating ca
pacity were observed on cars having a
seating capacity of forty-four Such
conditions appear to be conducive not
only to inconvenience and discomfort.
but actual danger as well. partlculariy
as passengers are sometimes found rid
ing on the steps,.
To this letter the company replied
that while some cars leave the ter
minal at 36th and Nj streets with a
large percentage of standing passen-
gers, they begin to discharge at Ross
lyn and other points not far beyond the
AQueduct bridge, and within few min
utes the cars usually have less than a
seated load.

Their Demands.

Heads of Metal Trades Unions to
Convene Here Monday to Dis
cuss Present Situation.

Although no general strike among ma
chfnists is contemplated. it was made
plain this afternoon at the meeting OF
the International Association of Machinists
that fair share of responsibility for
keeping down strikes would be placed on
the shoulders of employees. President w.
II. Johnston of the International Associ-
alton of Machinists announced following
todays session Of the board of directors
that additional requests for permission to
strike had been made. He intimated that
many of the machinists were pressing the
question.
mo general strike is contemplated.
he said, "and permissions to strike will
not be granted until all peaceable ef-
forts have failed. At the same tic
where an employer will not give LIS
men proper consideration we are going
to back up the men,"
Information was received today that
between 500 and 500 employees of the
Porter and Johnson Company of Paw
There is possibility that it may
spread among other firms in the
vicinity.
Seek an Understanding.
A large force is also out at Whining
ton, Del. Special representatives have
been sent by the association to meet
with the employers and employees and
try to bring about an amicable under
standing. In both instances the strlk-
ers are makers of machine tools.
Executive officers Of all the metal
trades unions affiliated with the Amer
lean Federation of Labor have been
summoned to meet here Monday to dis
cuss a general campaign for improve
ment of labor conditions and wage in
creases commensurate with the prof
it's they say are accruing to American
manufacturers through war orders.
The meeting of the metal trades will
follow the session Of the executive
board of the International Association
of Machinists.
Discusses General Strike idea.
Before the executive board resumed
it's session today Mr.. Johnston had his
attention called to declaration by
Vice President J. ]. keppler that he
would urge an immediate national
strike in plants which have refused to
grant an eight-hour day.
Some of our officers believe, SAID
Johnston, that general strike is the
only successful weapon to enforce con-
ditions which our men deserve and for
which we are pressing in different To-
calities, not alone in munttlon plants,
but in machine shops generally. do
not believe that the general strike plan
will meet with favor, but there GER
tainly will be determined movement
to improve conditions of the machin-
ists''
Vice President keppler was expected
to arrive in Washington today to par
ticipate in the deliberations of the ex-
ecutive board and he proposes to lay
his general strike plan before it, urg-
ing that the time is opportune.
