Even the greatest battles of

less weight in deciding the fu-

of the past few days in the
southeastern kingdoms.
King Constantine of Greece,
brother-in-law of the German
Emperor, appears to hold the
balance of power of the Near
East in his hand for the hour.
In the second crisis, where
Greece seemed on the brink of
entering the war by the side of
the Entente Powers, he has vir~

and has asserted personal con-
troll of the government.

THE "SCAB" HAS TO. PAY A MUCH GREATER
PRICE THAN THE WORKER HE BETRAYS
BY JANE whitaker


"Scabw There is no word IN the
English language so fraught with
hatred as this one word when II Is
used by strikers against strike-break-
ers. Girls cry it with tears OF rage
in their eyes aud every primitive IN
stinct aroused against the man OF
woman who is jeopardizing their nghI
for better working conditions. Men
cry it with all the unleashed passion
of their natures urging them to wage
cave warfare.
If you ask them just what is
''scab" you always get an answer like
this: "a lowdown fink who is taking
our jobs!" ga gutter bum that's scab-
bling on the job and sucking in with
the boss" or even some unpr1ntable
definition, but always from the same
angle-what the 'scab" does to the
worker.
The thing you never get and which
has always seemed to me to be OF so
much more importance is what the
"scab" is to herself or himself.
A few years ago had occasion to
talk to the wife of man who re-
manned working with a few others
while the the rest of his shop went on
a strike for better conditions.
His two children, both of them old
enough to realize the word that was
being called their father, sat in the
room with the mother as she talked,
and while her eyes we're bright with
defiance, the boy looked down at the
pattern of the carpet and the girl
looked out of the window.
81 told my man to work, the wo-
man said defiantly. 81 told him we
amt got no time for strikes. He'd
been out of work for months before
he got this job and me and the chill
dren need the money. We got bills to
pay"
Her voice was hard. She talked

APPROVAL OF OVER
SEAS COMBINATION is
NOT YET FORTHCOMING

Washington, Nov. 1.-Although the
Department of Commerce has agreed
to cooperate with the new American
Over Seas Corporation. it was learned
today that there has been no formal
approval of the project
through the State department. The
was formed in New York
recently to facilitate American trade
with neutral countries by handling
such commerce under guarantees to
Great Britain and her allies that goods
so forwarded will not reach enemies
of the Entente.
Some officials Of the department are
known to take the position that as the
United States government is vigorous
ly denying the right of Great Britain
to interfere with legitimate neutral
commerce through her orders in coun-
Gil, any official recognition of plan
to meet conditions imposed by these
orders would be inconsistent. ..
Promise Of cooperation by the de-
partment of commerce was given by
Secretary Redfield in a letter to Off
GERS of the over Seas Corporation.
