GREEK COUP IS
A VICTORY FOR

Overthrow of PangaIos

Especial to The Daily worker)

especial to The Daily Worker)
ATHENS, Aug. %. = The dictator
ship Of Premier PangaIos, more or less
openly representative Of British in
fluence In the Balkans has been over
thrown by bIoodIess military coup
led by Gen. condylis, minister Of War,
former right hand man Of the exiIed
VenIzelos, and prominent supporter
Of France. The coup Is decided vic
tory for French interests.
Gen. Pangalos was arrested while
vacationing on the Island of Spetsae
in the Aegean. He was placed aboard
the torpedo boat Pergamos and brot
to Athens where he and many of his
supporters are to be placed on trial
for tyrannical conduct of state affairs
while in power.
The Cause.
The basic cause of the revolt was
the signing recently of a treaty be-
tween Jugo-Slavia and Greece, giving
economic concessions to the former in
the Greek hinterland of Saloniki. At
the same time that he made this
treaty, Pangalos was beginning to
show an inclination to sign similar
agreements with Italy involving the
status of certain Aegean Islands. All
these things were being accomplished
with the connivance of England who is
supporting Italy and the Little Entente
(Jugo-Slavia, Roumania, and Greece)
in the Balkans.
venizeIos Supporter.
The leader of the revolt, Gen. Con
dylis is a former loyal supporter of
Venizelos, Frances tool who at this
moment is exiled in France. Condylis
accomplished the revolt by intrigue
and maneuvering with the army and
navy-the same way in which Panga-
los set UP his dictatorship. The Greek
armed forces are notable for their
amenability to raises in pay or prefer
red position. 1t was purely an officers
and soldiers revolution in which one
set of intriguers outwitted another
another with groups of foreign powers
supporting each.
LING TOtduQs
The situation is very similar to that
which obtained during the recent Pill
sudsh coup in Poland. The first thing
the Gen. Condylis did after the success
Of his attempt was to declare the
abolition of dictatorship. The fact of
the matter is that Condylis is one of
Greece's foremost militarists and the
leader Of the fascist movement. He
has also said that he is willing to call
for new elections at an early time
but elections are easily controlled in
Greece as Pangalos very well demon
strated.
Summed up, the revolution" means
a victory for French imperialism and
a change of dictators for Greece.

NEW YORK, Aug. %. - 1.-THE only
honorable course which is open is to
proceed with the utilization of the
strikers to the American Federation OF
Labor and to require the recognition
Of the new union as basis of settle
ment," said w. Jett Lauek in charge
of the committee to affiliate the Pas
sale textile strikers to the United Tex
tile Workers Union when It was learn
ed that the mill owners have refused
to treat with the new A. F. Of L. COM
mIttes. He also said that no has the
assurance Of support from the Amer
lean Federation of Labor in this stand.
Lauck said that he had wired Sen
ator Borah, who sponsored the forma-
ton Of the A. F. Of L. committee and
that the senator has condoned his
stand and said he would return to the
East from Idaho shortly to take up
the problem.
The answer Of the United Front
Committee of the Textile strikers was
an announcement that a picket drive
would be started on the Botany Mills
today. The strike is now in its 31st
week.

PASSAIC, N. j., Aug. 23.-The veil
Of hypocrisy was rent asunder when
Botany mills and the Forstmann and
Huffman company, the two largest
mills affected by the big textile strike,
came out fiatfootedly with a statement
that they would not recognize the pro-
posed new local of their striking work
ers, affiliated with the United Textile
Workers of the American Federation
of Labor.
Both companies came out strong for
the yellow dog company union"
while declaring violent opposition to
both the United Front Committee,
which has lead the strike up to the
present, and the proposed union of the
United Textile Workers. While all
along using the sham issues Of Com
munism and Weisbord as the reason
for their refusal to settle with their
striking workers, the mill bosses, now
given the opportunity Of dealing with
the A. F. of L., have come out against
the A. F. of L. and for the yellow dog
company union" which they are sure
Of controlling.
johnson Tells II To 400 Seabs.
To the 400 scabs working in Botany
Worstead Mills. where 5000 workers
ordinarily are employed, Col. johnson,
vice-president of Botany, and spokes-
man for the mill owners, announced
the mill bosses opposition to the A. F
Of L. in the following words:
I'VE have said frankly to the re-
personalities of the American Fedora
ton of Labor that the situation was
not one in which their services could
be helpful"
Slap At Borah Seen.
To many the Botany statement ap,
pears as a slap at Senator Borah's eff
forts 10 effect a just settlement in the
strike, as we'll as to the A. F. Of L.,
these people pointing to the following
paragraph in the mill owners state
ment:
Briefly we will have no dealing
with the United Front Committee or
it's successor, the committee of which
Mr. Jet Lauck is chairman, and il
may be well to say again what has
repeatedly being told various civic
committees who have called on us,
that we have been able to hire at the
wages and under the conditions we
offer, suchS help as we need"
OF course, nobody in the least de.
gree, familiar with the strike situation
here will believe the last part of that
paragraph, least Of all the local news
papers, hostile though they have been,
as arule, to the strikers cause. And
these papers are very much aroused
over the mill owners latest act Of
bourbonism in refusing to deal with
the A. F. OIL.

last week that five millions Of dol
lars ought to be raised in the United
States in aid of the British coal
miners strike. Present indications
are that this figure is as far away
as the mythical pot of gold at the
end Of the rainbow. The total may
not reach one million dollars. 1t is
a black picture.
1t is reflection of the low level
of international labor solidarity that
prevails in the richest imperialist
nation on earth.
Turn the picture over and what is
revealed on the other side is blacker
still. 1t shows President William
Green, head Of the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor, and members Of his
executive council, inspecting and
lauding that section of American
militarisms war machine now en-
camped and in training for it's
bloody work at Plattsburg, New
York.
Instead Of spending their time
arousing Americas workers to sup
port of the British mine strike and
to aid in the feeding of millions of
starving women and children Of the
working class, the A. F. of L. Off
Gals, who lift their hands in horror
at the sight of the decisive stand
taken by Mexican labor in its own
defense against the catholic church,
scatter the holy water of their APP
proval over the hungry murder ma
chimes of the American ruling class
tyranny.
The British labor experience dur
ing the general strike and later dur
ing the miners strike taught the
workers on the other side the uses
designed for capitalism's war
Moloch. The British strikers saw
not only the kings army and navy
used against them, but also 1.-THE
Order of Maintenance and Supplies"
a semi-military organization en-
dorsed by the government and
created primarily for strikebreaking
purposes. Every enemy of labor had
a gun put on his shoulder or the
badge of strikebreaker fastened
upon his arm, raised to strike
against the demands of the workers,
and to drive them back to worse
conditions than they now suffer.
The stone wall of employers op-
position facing the American work
ing class is built of the same mill
tarist material.
President Green does the dirty
work of the master class in building
that anti-labor wall when he lauds, in
his own words, "the great movement
represented here at Plattsburg."
"Plattsburg' has been dedicated
to the sharpening of bayonets, the
training Of soldiers eyes along the
cleaning barrels of rifles, guns and
cannons of all kinds, the practicing
OF the arm and eye in throwing
granades, the correct uses of poison
GUS gases and the many other In
struments of wholesale human
slaughter. "Plattsburg" has in turn
been a regular army camp, an en-
campment for the training of "busi-
ness men" in the art OF war. a re-
served officers training camp and
now 1t houses a Citizens Military
Training Camp. Similar nests of
militarism, Matching cannon fodder
for the next war and breeding anti
labor fighters for the next big strike,
are to be found in all sections of the
nation.
