LONDON, Sept. THE London
Times publishes with surprised edito-
rial comment and yelled threats
against the new government Of Greece
a telegram from its Athens CORE
spondent giving the main features of
an interview between General Con-
dylis and the Soviet News Agency.
Condylis stated that the first object
Of the new provisional government,
which had overthrow the dictator
ship of Pangalos, would be to hold
free elections, the speaker remaining
for the present head of the cabinet Of
ministers as well as chief of the demo-
cratic party. He said he would settle
the economic problem s:ong the lines
of social-democraic reforms, heavy
taxation on big capital and relief for
the poorer classes, the foreign policy
to be one of peace.

That's what fascism has accomplished
for the Italian workers.
ITTHILE the fascist regime in Italy
w has just put the finishing touch
to whatever vestige of elective priv
leges remained in possession of the
masses, the Soviet government is
pushing an energetic campaign among
the peasantry with the object of in
ducing them to take a more active
part in politics. The Soviet govern
ment is not afraid of an educated
peasantry and proletariat, because the
only obstacle that stands between the
closer relationship Of the peasantry
with the government is ignorance.
Thus the Soviet governments budget
for education is tremendous in pro.
portion to its revenue, while the fas-
cist government has clamped an iron
lid over the masses and gives them
neither the opportunity to learn nor
the liberty to express themselves.

WASHINGTON, Sept. TN its eff
forts to enforce prohibition, the United
States government is instituting a
system comparable only to that which
prevailed in Russia in the days of the
car, it was charged today by Capt.
w. H Stayton, head of the organized
vets here. Stayton referred to the
policy of rewarding informers for in
formation of violations.
To Spy on Tenants.
"In Russia for many years under the
czar," said Stayton, "the janitor of
every apartment house was a paid
agent of the police whose duty it was
to inform the police of the doings of
everybody in the house.
This gave the police, of course, a
beautiful opportunity not only to
regulate every action of the residents,
but also to blackmail them. Everyone
has heard of the agent provocateur,
the despicable spy who urges people
to commit crime, and then either
blackmails them or reports them.
Prohibition Spies.
MANY of our prohibition agents are
nothing better than this now, and the
present plan means that we are to add
to our force of paid scoundrels a great
body of rascally volunteers. What a

been called on.
Asked about the next steps of the
union to win the strike, President
Petrillo said that a board meeting
would be called Tuesday afternoon to
decide upon this. IN the meantime,
the men are going to stay out. For
the moment, l see little chance of a
settlement"
Another official of the union told
The DAILY WORKER that the own
ers' association was "out to break
the union. Their violation of the
contract they had with us was their
opening gun in an attempt to crush
the union altogether in Chicago"
The first blood was drawn by the
union when the Woods theater, show.

management also owns a moving pic

Not an instrument sounded in the
400 moving picture theaters thruout
the city on Labor Day. The theater
owners were boastful of their ability
to attract the holiday crowds sans
music, but union officials said reports
to them told of in some instances
loud-voiced dissatisfaction with the
unusual silence for which they were
paying prices that ordinarily include
musical entertainment.
During the night session, the pro-
ducers offered what they called "ar.
bitration" to the union. The "arbi-
traitor" was to be chosen from one OF
three men: the postmaster, Judge
and a county hospital surgeon. It

24S Delegates Set 100000 Members as Goal
For Second Year of Activity of |. L. D.

Max Shachtman, editor of the Labor
Defender, read the manifesto, of the
Second Conference to the American
workers, and with some suggestions
from the delegates, it was unanimous
ly adopted.
Read Greetings to Conference.
Following the discussion, Comrade
Cannon replied to some of the re.
marks made by delegates in their
speeches. kilograms and letters of
greetings to the conference we're read
from the secretary of the Internation-
al Glass War Prisoners Aid of Eng
land, from the Joint Board of the
New York Furriers' Union, from War
rem X. Billings, Matthew Schmidt,
from Pablo Manalapit in prison in
Honolulu, Robert Whitaker Of Cali
fornia, from Passaic strikers and num-
erous others.
The second day Of the conference
heard a report by c. E. Ruthenberg,
awaiting decision on his supreme court
appeal, on the white terror in other
>eenttalist countries. Ruthenberg point
ed out the frightful situation existing
in numerous European countries and
the need for extending the hand of
fraternal solidarity to these class war
victims and prisoners. Harrison
George reported on the situation in
Latin-America, where American impe-
rialism is instrumental in imprison-
ing scores of labor fighters and those
who are battling for liberation.
The greatest part of the second
days session was taken up with or
ganizational matters. Sharp and
friendly self-critics of past activities
and means of improving the structure
and forms Of activity of the /. L. d.
Numerous suggestions in this direction
were made by all the delegates. The
discussion, which was led by Secrc-
tary James P. Cannon, took up all or
ganizational questions from that of or
ganizing the united front to the ar
rangement of a mass meeting and the
sale of literature. In addition to this
discussion, provision was made to take
up local problems with number of
the delegates after the official adjourn
ment of the conference.
New Committee Is Elected.
The last point ON the agenda was
the election of a new national COM
mittee. The announcement by James
P. Cannon that Elizabeth Gurley Flynn
had consented to serve not only on the
national committee but as a chairman
of the organization in place of Andrew
I. Mcnamara, who is very i'll, and had
asked to be relieved from his position
for short time, was greeted with
long cheers and applause. All the
members of the former national com
mittee were reelected, together with
Charles Cline. Alhert Weisbord, Eliza
beth Gurley Flynn. D. 4. Bentall, Rob
ert Morss Lovett, Harry w. Longfel-
low Dana, Charles Gray and Clarence
Darrow. The executive committee was
empowered to add to this number at
its discretion. The national committee
will meet today to choose the execu.
tive committee and other officers of
the organization.

A Former Fascist.

The editor of Empros (Forward),
Greek publication Of the Workers
Party in Chicago, states that Condylis
is really former fascist; while war
minister he prosecuted labor unions
and the Communist Party; he organ
lied the Pursuit Bands a kind of
fascist corps; he drove underground
the world war veterans organization,
which was friendly to the Commu-
nists; ne was the first to order troops
to fire on the strikers in Cavallo.
The Empros' editorial states that
Condylis' change Of tactics is the re-
suit Of the great growth and influence
of the Communist Party in Greece.

Incidental to the desire Of the own

especial to The Daily Worker


ATHENS, Sept. 7.-The Communist
Party took immediate advantage of
the change in governments here to
obtain a permit for a demonstration
and held a great mass meeting and
parade.
The meeting passed resolutions
which demanded among other things,
the right to free elections and proper
tonal representation, heavy taxation
Of big capital to relieve the distress
of the refugees and the unemployed,
punishment of the hackers Of the Pan
galos dictatorship, freedom of the
press, increase of wages, eight-hour

present reactionary committee on
refugees, which seeks to force them
into strike-breaking and other obnox-

The refugees are a serious problem

Great war and the Greek war with
Turkey.

TWO PROS, WITH 286,
TIE IN TAMPA EVENT

BY the Associated Press.
TAMPA, Fla. February 27.-Bobby
Cruickshank and Johnny Farrell tied
for first honorS in the Florida open
golf tournament. which closed here
this afternoon. Both players scored
286 for the 70 holes.
Farrell and Cruickshank will play
off their tie to determine the winner
at Temple Terrace course tomorrow

match will receive second money.
Joe Turnesa. Fairview, n. Y; Mac
Donald Smith, Great Neck, Long
Island, and Willie Klein, West. Palm
Beach, all of whom turned in scores
of 291. will receive equal shares of
the combined third, fourth and fifth
money.
Intense excitement prevailed in the
large gallery as the two-day battle
came to a close. Farrell, who rep
resented Davis Island, and Cruicl
shank, listed as unattached, but who
had made golf history on many
courses, both played brilliant, con-
sistent game throughout the day.
Their morning cards indicated they
would be we'll up r~.the front in
the final test. and there was little
surprise among spectators when they
flashed home tied. Cruickshank
turned in a 70 in the morning and
the same in the afternoon. Farrell
score was Identical

tainly looks it. Faulty methods of
conditioning prescribed for him by a
coach who was not familiar with
Barney's requirements seriously inn
paired his underpinning several sea
sons back, but his legs ere quite sound
now, and barring accidents he should
face the barrier in prime condition.
Walter is his own boss, SO far as
training is concerned He knows from
long years of experience just what
kind of exercise and how much of it
he needs. No one has to watch him
to see that he takes it either, for he
always is one of the hardest workers
in camp.
although / have not seen Coveles-
kie this year, he has written that he
is in good condition. and that just
about ends all speculation on his ac-
count. He demonstrated in leading
the league last year. both in games
won and lost, and in percentage of
earned runs allowed, what he is capa-
BILE of. It's true he faded bit as
the season waned, but he had to work
pretty hard, and I'm confident that.
given the proper amount of rest be-
tween efforts. he again will prove one
of the bulwarks of our staff.
Ferguson i'm Trim.
Ferguson looks to be as fit as a
fiddle. He is the type capable Of
showing to better advantage than
heretofore, when he never was well
supported. Over a full season with
the brand of backing we should be
able to give him Alex rates to win
more than two-thirds of his games.
ogden is another for whom i hold
high hopes, as 1 have stated before.
He is a bit heavy now, as he usually
is in the Spring, but in proper con-
dition he ought to prove big winner
for us. Unless / am mistaken, Curley
is going to try harder this year than
he has in the past. Although no part
of a shirker, Curley is like most of
the rest of us, in that monotonous
drilling is distasteful to him. The
necessity for buckling down and
really getting in shape to pitch has
been impressed on him, however, and
the fine spirit he has shown in re-
spending makes him look like good
bet to me.
But Marberry's splendid condition
probably is the most cheering thing
about the bunch we have in camp
now. When his elbow was injured
last Fall there was doubt as to
whether he ever would be any good
again, for that is ticklish spot for
a, pitcher to have ailing. If the sore
ness had returned it probably would
have meant that his hurting days
we're ended. for that has been the
story for a great majority of pitch
ers who were hurt as he was, but
with two weeks of work under his
belt Fred has not felt the slightest
twinge in the joint. This indicates
that he will be right back on the job,
as effective as ever, which means
that we again will have the greatest
relief pitcher in base ball"
