TWO DICTATORS
SIGN PACT FOR
BALKAN POLICY
Mussolini Wins Greek
Ruler, Venizelos

BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, Sept
24.-According to dispatches re-
ceived here from Rome, Venizelos,
dictator of Greece, has signed his
first agreement on his tour of Eu-
ropean countries, having signed a
Iact of "non-aggression" and
friendship" with dictator Mussolini
Of Italy.
Following the recognition of the
fascists' crowned kingdom of AL
bania, by the Greek dictatorship, it
was evident that Venizelos had been
brought into line and would sooner
or later sign pact that would, if
not cooperate with, at least permit
the Italian dictatorship full freedom
in its exploitation oil the countries
bordering on the Mediterranean and
Adriatic seas. Such a move would
be considered by the French gov
eminent as an encroachment on the
French interests in the Balkans and
it's colonies IN Africa.
The treaty just signed shows full
evidence of being pact that not
only allows Mussolini freedom of
action in the Balkans, and perhaps
certain concessions in Greece, but
even promises to pave the way for
\
Greek governments in the Balkans
and Mediterranean, and is being in
terpreted by many observers as a
definite move against the French
interests, now combined with the
British, and against the ambitions
of the Belgrade regime of Yugo-
slavia.

attended the convention which be-
gan on September II and closed
on the 21st.
Leading the opposition to the
machine was Delegate Moser of Lo-
cal 1913 of Philadelphia on whom the
attack of the officialdom was CEN
tered. Throughout the convention
it was evident that there was pres
ent a'large opposition which, how
ever, was not organized and none
of whose members would fight con-
sistently for it's policies.
Slap at Matt VOL.
The strength of the opposition
was indicated when a plea made be-
fore the convention by Matthew
Woll for an insurance scheme to be
fostered by his Labor Life Insur-
ance Company, was overwhelmingly
defeated. Vol pleaded and accord
ing to his own words chad prayed
again and again" that the delegates
accept the proposition. In his plea
he was joined by the reactionary
Burke and Coefield, but the dele
gates voted as a body to reject the
insurance scheme.
Delegate Moser brought in a reso-
luton against injunctions urging
mass violation as the only effective
means of combating the evil. This
was attacked as "CommunistiC
proposal" and Moser was accused
of being a Communist, the evidence
offered being the fact that he was
member of the rank and file trade
union delegation which a number OF
unions several months ago sent
across to make an investigation of
conditions in the Soviet Union.
Consistent Reaction.
A resolution for the relief of un.
employed Jared equally. Forced to
make some gesture towards the s.
day week, the machine made nom
inal acceptance of another resolution
by delegate Moser, advocating this
measure.
A long report to the convention
by Secretary Treasurer Thomas F.
Burke for the Executive Board was
labeled by progressive delegates,
who expressed their views outside
the convention, as "a masterpiece of
class collaboration sell-out."

At workers press picnic yester-
day Foster exposed the takers of
the republican, democratic and So
cialist parties in speech lasting
an hour and half. He outlined the
Workers Party program and de-
clared that this was the only pro-

could support.
The picnic was preceded by an
automobile parade to the picnic
grounds, the Communist candidate
being frequently applauded on the
way.
A worker who said he had been
member of the socialist party for
% years pledged his support to the
Communist campaign. A collection
of $3.50 was made at the picnic.
