Greek Labor Unions
Protest Against the

Piraeus, March lathe presidents
of the 800 labor unions of The Piraeus
and Athens have presented American
Minister Droppers with a protest for
transmission to the President of the
United States, against the allied block
ade of Greek ports.
What is most painful" says the
protest, lis that the blockade is being
continued even after the government
has accepted and executed tho onerous
conditions of the last ultimatum of
the Powers, who have formulated no
new demands whose acceptance could
bring about the lifting of the block
ade.
This last measure touches the
harmless population of women, old
folk and children whose lives are re-
spected even in time of war.

Allied Powers Espouse
the Cause of Old Turks
By Associated Press

Saloniki, Greece, March 13. - To
combat the influence of Islam among
the Musulmen inhabitants of Greek
Macedonia. the Allied Powers have
espoused the cause of the Old Turks
against the Young Turks now in con-
troll of Constantinople, and are declar-
ed to be financing a considerable pro-
paganda in favor of the re-esta bIish-
ment of the old regime in Turkey. The
leading agent of this work in Mace
donia is a former aide-de-camp of the
deposed Sultan Abdul-Hamid Khan
one Col a. Samy Bey, who, on official
occasions, is almost completely hidden
under tlrtain of gold braid and
decorations. At present he is editing
and publishing newspaper intended
for circulation among the Musulman
inhabitants in Greece, entitled the
Star of Islam." For a brief period.
he edited a similar paper in Athens,
but as the Turks are not popular
among the Greeks of old Greece, he
appeared to be wasting his time and
was ordered to SaIoniki to co-pperate
with the Venizelist movement by
bringing the Musulmen over to the
cause of the Cretan.
Colonel Samy speaks of his work
as crusade" and draws his religious
authority LOT IL ITOIl a reSCr1pt which
he received from the Grand Sheriff OF
Mecca, guardian of the tomb of the
prophet, and officially recognized by
Great Britain, France and Italy as
King of the Hedjaz, on January 8.
The Bey's temporal authority depends
upon old Abdul-Hamid, who Colonel
Samy refers to as that grand politic-
ian who was ever, in Turkey, the High
Protector of the Greek element"
Colonel Samy fed Turkey at the
same time with Abdul-Hamid, in
1909, on account, he says, of his en-
tente sympathies. He claims to be a
Greek subject. Since the beginning of
the present war, he has been busy
with the Mohamedans in Arabia.

his propaganda in favor of the old

turned over in violation of all justice
to those who have fomented and di-
rected the Saloniki movement. This
arrangement makes it evident that
even when the blockade is raised, the
country will be menaced by famine
This situation has greatly upset the
commercial relations with all neutral
countries and especially with the Unit
ed States.
"All the unions and syndicates of
worl;ing men, through the signatories
of these presents address the livelest
protest to all the neutral lands against
this violation of every human and di-
vine right, and particularly approach
the government of the United States in
the hope that 1t will be willing to use
its voice to bring about cessation of
these unheard of measures against a
neutral state"

REVIEW OF
MAJESTIC BILL
Not a Dull Minute on the
= New Bill at the Majestic
Theater

Who remembers the good, old days
of vaudeville with big musical hits,
and popular skits by Jesse LaslSy's
famous companies?
To one who remembers these, the
Majestic program for the first three
days of the week, comes as a breath
of the past with it's wonderful memoir
les. To the person who doesn't re-
member the past, there is a big and
pleasant surprise in store.
Musically, the entertainment is the
best that has been given in the city
for months. From the rise to the drop
of the curtain there isn't a dull mo-
ment for the audience-there couldn't
be with such an array of talent as
the Majestic offers.
Greenlee and Drayton open the bill
with one of the finest song, dance and
conversation tilts ever used to amuse.

in scholastic standing, to compete.
The judges have been selected both
for the preliminaries and finals, but
their names are withheld from pub
lieation for the present time. Miss
Susan Applegate is training the girls
for the presentation of their oratlons.
Manager Kenneth Downes, OF the
Mandolin Club, has secured several
good engagements for the near future.
This organization will play Thursday
evening at an entertainment TO be
given in the Grace Methodist Church.
A mandolin club was in existence in
the school year 1914-15 at Central
High and was directed by Leroy
Smucker. Steelton High has followed
the precedent established by Central
this year and has also formed q
mandolin organization recently.

big figures lately about war profits.
We have the highest authority for telling
his tOife that the cost of delivering packages
from various stores to the homes in this city
is ten times as great as all the war profits
that have come here.
And what makes it most interesting to the

your storekeeper delivers goods!
What you see will show you whether you
are dealing with business man or not.
Is he delivering with horse and wagon?
You may know then that he is restricting his bust
ness because he is restricting his radius of doing
business.
That means that he is not buying to the best
advantage. His overhead is too high You are
likely to lose in the quality of the goods he
sells you.
Is he delivering with converted pleasure car? That
is the first mistake he is likely to make A pleasure car

Washington, d. C., March 5-It is
estimated that more than 100000 has
been spent for seats from which to view
the inaugural procession, Provision has
been made for seating $4,000 persons
along the line of march in specially con-
structed grand stands. Many thousands
of others have taken places in windows,
on roofs, in trees, perched on poles and
various other points of vantage. More
than two million feet of lumber have
been used for the construction of stands
which will be occupied only few hours
Seats have been sold to the public on
all reviewing stands, except the presi-
dents stand in front OF the White House
and the official stand at the capitol on
which the inaugural ceremonies take
place.
Employees of the various executive de-
partments have banded together to erect
the stands in front OF the various public
in order that they might have
the preference of buying seats upon
them, and the seats remaining have been
snapped up at general sale at prices from

Harrison was not so fortunate with
the weather for his inaugural ceremonies

The weather, however, did not deter his
escort from marching in the Inaugural
procession. 1t was the 18th Indiana vol
unteer infantry which Harrison had com.
manded in the Civil war.
When Cleveland returned for second
term he, too, encountered bad weather
and the agitation for moving inaugura
ton day forward into the safer weeks OF
late spring received an impetus, which
however, soon died away. Slush six
inches deep covered the city and thous-
ands of people felt discomforts.

the eoldestd avs ever known in the cap

who did died of the exposure.
President Hayes was surrounded with
elaborate precautions for his personal
