FORECASTS
MEAT TRADE END
Detroit Butchers Consider
Closing Up as Housewives
Refuse to Buy.
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, August 5.-Virtual sus-
pension of the retail meat trade
throughout Detroit after THURSDAY
was predicted today by a dealers rep
reSentative unless some solution for
the noisy two-week- old strike by buy
ers is found
The prediction was made by Emil
Schwartz, director of the National
Association of Meat Dealers. who said
that a dozen butchers whose shops
had been damaged by picketing house
wives had suggested that National
Guard protection be sought.
Stores are filled with meat and
there are few sales" he said. "A lot
of dealers have told me they will try
to sell out, close their shops and take
vacation. They say they can't do any
business and there is no sense in stay
ing OPEN"
Heinrich A. Pickert, police commits
sioner, commenting on the charge by
some butchers that the boycott was
inspired by Communists, said
I'm my viewpoint this movement
was started as a protest by house
wives, but now the Communists have
moved in on it. However, nothing
serious has happened"
Schwartz declared: Under the
present processing tax set-up the
housewives demand for 20 per cent
reduction in meat prices is ridiculous. :"

UTILITY CONFEREES.
STUDY NEXT MOVE .
Compromise Expected to Be
Discussed in Session of
Senate Group.
BY the Associated Press.

Noncommittal On definite chances
for a compromise. Senator Wheeler.
Democrat, of Montana called Senate
conferees together today to decide
their future course Of action on the
utilities bill now deadlocked in con-
ference with the House
The general expectation was that
some form of compromise would be
discussed. Wheeler. who already has
indicated some concessions by admin
iStration forces might be possible,
fished over the week end with Pres
ident Roosevelt on the yacht Sequoia.
Undoubtedly. they had opportunity to
discuss the provision calling for COM
pulsory abolition of unnecessary
utility holding companies.
Wheeler Is Silent.
However. Wheeler was silent last
night when he debarked after the trip
along the Rappahannock and Poto-
mac Rivers.
Both the President and Wheeler
are strongly for the abolition clause
voted by the Senate. On the other
hand, the House turned this clause
down and only last week refused to
recede from its stand
One important point to be decided
at today'S meeting of the Senate con-
ferees was whether they would ex-
clude Ben Cohen, administration at
torney who helped draft the measure,
from the conferences with the House
members. Three out of five of the
House men have refused to confer SO
long as Cohen was present
Representative Huddleston, Demo-
crat. of Alabama. one of those in
sistent that Cohen be barred. has
indicated concessions might be forth
coming on some other points.
Spoke of Compromise.
When the bill was first before the
Senate. Wheeler spoke of a possible
compromise along the lines of increas-
ing the number of holding companies
permitted in single system. Whether
the President would approve of such
a change remains to be seen.
Lobby Investigators. who have been
delving into the fight that preceded
congressional voting on the utilities
bill, are preparing to continue their
inquiries tomorrow with the Senate
committee. seeking further evidence
about whispering campaign" against
the President
The House committee, its special
counsel said. will recall Bernard B
Robinson Of Chicago for further ques-
tioning. He was one of those working
against passage of the utilities
measure.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. August S.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, here
today to preside at a meeting of the
federations Executive Council. pre-
dicted a militant drive to expel from
the organization Communists who
are under orders from Moscow.
When II is clearly proved that a
member Of one of our unions Is a
Red carrying out Moscow's orders"
he said, the union will be called
upon to eXpel him"
Fomenting Strife Charged.
The federation chief charged Com
munists were undermining confidence
in the trade union movement, foment-
ing strife and urging and inspiring
violence.
The American delegation reported
to the Communist Congress in Mos
COW last week that there now were
10000 Reds i'll this country" Green
said.
While that number in comparison
with the membership Of the A. F. of L.
is inconSequential, nevertheless they
are distributed among our trade unions
and each is assigned a special task"
Green said the council would con-
slider how to deal with the Com
munist problem in general, and par
ticularly with the recent amalgama-
ton of avowedly communistic organi-
cations and the International Fur
Workers.
Hugh S. johnson. former N. r. A.
chief and now head of New York
work relief. might confer with the
council this afternoon on the pro-
tests of federation unions against the
security wages on relief projects,
Green said.
The councils first job was to at
tempt to settle juriSdictional dispute
between Molders and Foundry Work
ers' Unions. Efforts to amalgamate
the unions. Green said. have been
unsuccessful
John L. Lewis Absent.
Most of the councils 18 members
were on hand for the opening session
Among abSentees was John L. Lewis,
scrappy chief OF the United Mine
Workers He is expected to renew
his fight for industrial unionization
of mass production industries when
he arrives later this week.
Lewis contends that industries such
as steel and automobiles should have
unions embracing all the workers in
them, instead of dividing the workers
among the various craft unions.
Any council action on this issue
would have an important bearing on
future federation policy.

80 ARE WOUNDED
IN GREEK REVOLT
Hand of VenizeIOS' Aides

Troops and Planes.
BY the Associated Press.

ATHENS, August 5-A state of siege
was declared late today in Gambia
tErakleion). Crete, as rebellious
strikers, defying the threats of army
officials, held the streets and continued
firing
Thirty persons. including five police
men. had been wounded. The harbor-
master by radio. asked naval assist
snce, and the government sent two
destroyers and soldiers, as well as air.
planes, to restore order.
Gen. Bakopoulos warned the strikers
his forces would open fire if they did
not desert the streets, but as dusk fell
the revolters still maintained their po-
SitionS.
The rebellion originated from a
labor strike which turned into riot
ing. The government asserted the
disorders were inspired by adherentS
of former Premier Eleutherios Venize-
los, who led an unsuccessful rebellion
in Crete and Macedonia last Spring.
The newspaper Vralyni reported
that the disorders spread to several
villages in Gambia Province at noon
and that the legal authorities in those
places had been overthrown.
The reported 80 casualties occurred
as the demonstrators sacked the ad-
ministrative Offices in the Cretan city.
Four thousand striking workmen
were alleged to be participating in
the uprising, which authorities VOW to
suppress at any cost.
Gen. George Kondylis. minister of
war. who was the chief personality in
suppressing the rebellion of last
March. issued government orders
today in the absence Of Premier Pan
ayoti TSaldariS, who is in Germany for
his health.
He ordered Gen. BakopouloS. as
signed to the trouble zone. to try other
means of restoring order before firing
On the demonstrators.
The trouble began five days ago as
labor strike. but government sources
said the strike was essentially political
and was caused by adherents OF Ven
iZeloS
These sources said the strikers had
procured arms and ammunition and
had fired on the police who, al
though aided by troops, were insult
ticient to maintain order.
Police Denounced.
The General Federation of Labor
protested to the government, assert
ing the Erakleion disorders were due
to the murderous attitude of the police
and the authorities, the workers stag
ing q manifestation only to assert
their lawful rights"
within a day order will be estab-
lished at any COST" declared Peter
Rhallis. minister of communications
I'VE are faced by a purely political
revolt. The Venizelists have never
stopped exciting the population to
rise. The workers were driven to riot
ing much more by them than by the
labor issues involved"
