FASCIST REGIME
LIKELY IN GREECE
Unrest Due to Strike
Forces Strong Tactics

ATHENS, July 4.-The critical
situation in Greece and the continued
state of unrest may lead to an al
most certain dissolution of the
Chamber of Deputies on Saturday
Fleutherios Venizelos, the wartime
premier, is again being pushed to the
front by the reactionary forces.
The Conservatives are very much
alarmed at the state of affairs fol
lowing the tobacco workers strike
which almost assumed the proper
tions of a general strike and a
probable revolution. The strike
starting among the tobacco workers
spread to the dock workers, threat
ening to draw other workers from
nearly all industries into the walk
out, and even won the support of the
Creek sailors. Greece is still in q
state of ferment and has alarmed the
government considerably.

DEFY SlCMAN AT
BOSTON Meeting
Members Demand Right
to Hold Own Election

BOSTON, July 4.-Membership
meetings of the two Boston locals of
che international Ladies' Garment
Workers Union, held here Monday
night, repudiated the action Of their
Sigman controlled Joint Board and
elected a committee to take charge
of the union elections despite specific
instructions to the contrary.
Because the membership of the two
locals had. by an overwhelming ma
jority, voted down the proposal to en-
dorse the Sigman yellow dog contract
the Joint Board had sent communi-
cation to the International asking
them to send special committee to
take charge of the Boston elections.
The "yellow-dog contract" is a docu-
ment Sigman requires every candi-
date for office to sign and which
states that he is not Communist,
nor Communist follower or sympa-
thizer.
Not only the membership of the
two locals, which are the Dressmak-
ers' Local 46 and the Cloakmakers'
Local Sc, had rejected the use of this
document, but even a recent meet
ing of all the executive boards of the
Boston locals had repudiated this de-
grading order. Even the right wing
ers, the joint executive board mem
bers, had at that time declared that
no organization work could be car
ried out successfully as long as ac-
tive union members cannot run for
office.
Despite the decisive action of the
membership and the executive boards,
the Sigman agents may try to i'm
pose their specially sent committee to
supervise the elections.

MILL COMMITTEE
DEMANDSPA IN
STRIKE PARLEYS
Mediators Call Confab;
T.M.C. Warns Workers
Especial to the Daily Worker)


NEW BEDFORD, Mass, July A.
AS signs rapidly multiply to show
that majority of the mill owners
are exceedingly anxious to resume
operations at any cost, the State
Board of Cancellation and Arbitrn-
tion has issued a call to the mill
bosses and the officials of the Tex
tile Council of the United Textile
Workers to come to conference to-
morrow for a discussion of a basis
for strike settlement. Despite the
fact that the Textile Mills Commit
tee here represents and is leading the
vast majority of the $4,000 on strike,
they are not invited. The T. M. c..
strike committee, however, issued a
public statement yesterday demand
ing participation in the conferences.
Elect Officers
A strike committee meeting last
night elected Elulalia Mendez secre-
retary, Andres Izyk, treasurer; An
tone Costa, Ellen Dawson, A. Mack
ham, Mary Correia and Eli Keller as
q negotiations committee which will
seek admittance to the conferences
in the name Of the majority of the
textile workers out on strike. The
conference is to be held in the New
Bedford City Hall.
In the official statement Of the
T. M C. strike committee the work
ers are warned of an attempt by the
Textile Council leaders to betray
their heroic struggle. This charge is
backed up by reminding the workers
that the officialdom had nothing but
the highest praise for the tabor ex-
tension" scheme proposed at re-
cent conference called by the citizens
committee. His scheme, which also
had the bosses hearty endorsement,
was merely a highly intensified
speed-up system by which the work
ers would produce much more.
At that time the bosses refused to
obtain endorsement of the plan by
the union misleaders. This they
readily got. Now, when they can no
longer stand the pressure of the mar
ket for cotton goods, they may go
so far as to withdraw half of the
wage cut order, some observers be-
lieve.
The Textile Mills Committee also
points out these dangers, saying to
the strikers, "The bosses cannot hold

BOSTON, July 4.-Boston patriots

SpeClaI OlSpatcn TO 'Ine star.
NEW YORK, October 23.-For the
first time in many weeks the outstand-
ing features on the Curb Exchange to-
day were on the side of declining prices.
The sharp break on the Chicago EX-
change yesterday threw scare into the
speculative element over what might be
expected Of stocks which have been bid
up spectacularly In this market. At
tention was called to the fact that the
break Of last June followed drastic de-
cltneS in the Giannini issues at San
Francisco.
1t was almost impossible to open the
market for Zenith Radio, which had
broken As points in Chicago yesterday.
In the meantime, Checker Cab Manu-
featuring was pressed for sale, break
ing from the previous final Of 76A 70
81. Upgrade Food Products broke from
64h to so. National Rubber Machinery
issues suffered drastically, the bonds de-
clining 13 points to the 100 level at one
time. Balaban g. KatZ was another that
significant that the issues which suf-
fered most we're those thought to har-
Dor large Western account.
However, not all the important
changes occurred on the side of de-
clining prices. In the oil group, Stand
ard OIL Of Kentucky stood out strongly,
making new top above lat. Because
Of its huge surplus the impression pre-
vailed that stockholders were in line
for a substantial stock distribution.
The comparatively new Acoustic
Products went to the lowest since list
ing, but rallied somewhat later Min
ing shares continued active. but with
price changes irregular.
Evans Co. moved forward sharply to
a new high record. and severar Of the
high-priced industrial specialties in
dicated that the floating supply avail
able for speculative purposes was ex-
tremely limited.
The big features, however, occurred
on the down side and 1t was plainly
evident that the more conservative
element was becoming increasingly
alarmed over the safety Of its position.
