GREEN VOICES
new WARNING
Special Privilege, He Says,
May Drive Wage Farmers
to Radical Methods

WASHINGTON, Mar. 4. (UP).
Continued insistence by investors
groups for special privileges in the
economic scheme will drive "even
American wage earners' to radl-
cal methods, William Green, pres
ident of the American Federation
of Labor. warned a Town Hall
meeting last night.
Green said that in 1917 it was
found that when producing work
ere got 81 for goods value, mid
dlemen and Overhead people" got
another 81 for various sales lead
ing to the sale of the product to
the consumer. In 1882, he added,
when producing workers got 81
executives got $3.50.
"This is one reason why
six families in the upper bracket
have nearly four times as much to
live on as 1000 families IN the
lower bracket" he said.
"This sort of a situation is an
unfortunate background against
which to mass an army Of 10000
600 unemployed while denying the
employed wage earners the rlght
to organize to bargain collective
ly." ,.4 .ho
Green said labor advocates the
3O-hour week as a practical refill
edy for unemployment
"Employers have vehementi;E,
protested that shorter hours Will
bankrupt Them" he said. yet IN

GREEK REVOLT
FOUGHT IN AIR,
ON LAND, SEA
Macedonia and Crete Are
Scenes of Indecisive
Warfare Today
CIVILIANS JOINING
BOTH ARMED FORCES

ATHENS, March 4.-(UP).-
Rebel and government forces
fought today in Macedonia and
Crete on land, sea and in the air.
Government forces claimed a
victory over rebels who are seek
ing to pue Eletherios Venizelos
"Lion of Crete" in power. The
rebels are reported to be holding
the Crete wireless telegraph sta
tions and the battered rebel fleet
seemed to be withstanding a hail
of bombs from government air
planes.
Hundreds of the population
have joined the rebels, particu-
larly since the arrival of the re-
bellious warships.
The situation was the more dan
gerous because many of the
civilian population had Joined
forces with the loyalist troops,
and were reported engaged in
civil war against the rebels.
The operations of four big
bombing planes in Sudas Bay late
Sunday resulted in death of many
revoiutionaries aboard the, de-
stroyers which they showered
with explosives, but the total cas-
ualties were not revealed.
One bomb hit the PROV OF the
cruiser Averoff heavily, creating
havoc. Two other destroyers and
a submarine also were caught III
the deluge of bombs. ,
MANY civilians were reported
Joining government forces against
the revolutionists.
Even the liberal party of Venl--
zelos, which staged the attempted
coup, appeared split. Many lead
ers in Athens cabled Venizelos
that the rebellion was foredoomed
to failure, and that it might cause
a national catastrophe. .
The ministerial council OF
Greece last night decided to crush
the naval rebellion against the
government at all costs, and to
refuse any compromise with the
adherents of former President
Venizelos, now besieged in Srete.

acting for the cabinet, authorized

Copyright, 1885, by u. +.
PINEHURST, March /. (UP).
Mrs. Elva Etatler Davidson was
burdened with a mysterious sor-
row and her eyes were red and
wet from tears when she died in
her garage shortly after dawn
"Wednesday.
A ray of light was thrown into
this dark and puzzling tragedy
last night by a bushy-hsired
Italian waiter who works in a
spaghetti restaurant on the fringe
of Pinshurst. 1t was around. 4
a. m. Wednesday when John
Notrag acomio was routed out Of
bed by his employer, Angelo Mon
tesani, to serve a party OF 10
that had just arrived from a
charity ball at the Pinehurst
Country club. Notragiacomio said
Mrs. Davidson, heiress to the
fortune of the late E. NJ. Statler,
chain hotel owner, sat at the
head of a large table.
Everybody on the party except
Davidson was laughing and hav-
ing fun" he added. "They had
brought a harmonica player with
them from the dance at the
Country club and there was some
music. Mrs. Davidson was very
quiet and after she had been IN
our place for a while she began
to cry"
Tears still were yelling in her
eyes, he said, when the party
left. A few hours later she was
found dead across the running
board of her 12-cylinder automo-
bile, her lungs choked with car
bon monoxide and every door to
the garage closed.
Notragiacomio said he heard
nothing to indicate that Mrs.
Davidson, a bride of two months,
had quarreled with her husband.
He could not recall where David
son was seated at the table, but
thought he was about two chairs
away from his wife. Persons at
tending the charity ball said Mrs.
Davidson feigned gaiety but
seemed depressed.
Solicitor Roland Pruett, VINO
will reopen the inquest Tuesday,
has eliminated accidental death
and believes it either was murder
or suicide. What people in Pine
hurst-winter playground OF the
rich-cannot understand, is why
Mrs. Davidson should want 10
take her life. Outwardly,. she
had everything to live for
beauty, youth, wealth, social po-
sition and a husband who IS a
member of a prominent Wasmhg-
ton, D. c., family.

ton of Business and Professional
Women's clubs. Through seven
days program. $4,000 women,
representing 1,400 clubs in AZ
states, Alaska, Hawaii and the
District of Columbia, will inter-
pref their detectives to the Amer
lean public, will not only initiate
new projects for community bet
torment, but also seek to stimuli
late interest in cooperative plans
already under way, and will re
new their pledge to lift the levei
of business women and to work
for those social and economic
changes which their platform en-
bodies. Opportunity has been
chosen this year as the approprl-
ate watchword.
"The mobilization of right
thinking citizens to promote hu-
man well being is our aim during
Business Women's Week." said
Mrs. Geline Macdonald Bowman,
president of the National Fedora

cannot be separated. This year,
as in the past, programs will be
formulated that will make for
community betterment and will
help organizations of widely diff
ferent personnel and activities to-
ward understanding their basic
similarity of purpose.
According to the official an
from headquarters of
the National Federation of Bust

clubs, the watchword of the week
is to be interpreted in terms of
opportunity for business women
to evaluate their place in the
community. to launch projects of
local significance, to focus atten-
ton upon their qualifications for
public office and for business ad-
vancement, and to throw the
weight of their influence toward
such economic reforms as Will
bring a larger measure of oppor-
tunity to all Americans.
"The clubs demonstrated IN
their own communities how varl-
Gus groups of men and women can
work together toward a common
goal,' said Mrs. Bowman.

has taken effective steps toward
working with other national or,
