Washington, Aug. (AP)-A pos
sible new claimant to the American
Federation of Labor membership,
which John l.. Lewis United Mine
Workers are on the point of losing,
appeared on the troubled labor scene
today.
William Keck, president of the
Progressive Miners of America and
bitter critic of Lewis, said at Giles

convention next month, it will prob
ably consider the question of apply
inc for A. F. of l.. membership.
The labor world anxiously watch

A. F. of l.. executive council in ord
ering Lewis and ten associated I'M
ions suspended from the federation
unless they repented from their ere
bellion" in thirty days would lead to
civil war in labor ranks.
Denials for plans for such a war
were being drawn came from the
Lewis camp and from supporters of
the craft union leaders of the execu-
tive council whose ire was aroused
by Lewis drive to organize steel and
other big industries into industrial
unions.
In both camps, however, it was con-
coded that such a conflict with both
sides bidding for each others mem

King George Broke
Solemn PrOmise
When He Appoint

(By The Associated Press.)

Athens (Uncensored)-(By Air Mail
to London)-Liberal Greek circles
charged that King George, End, broke
a solemn promise of constitutional
g overnment when he established Pre-
mier John Metaxas as military die
tator.
This action, declared members of
the liberal party formed by the late
Elentherios Venizelos, will never be
forgiven by many of his subjects.
These circles predicted a convulsive
upheaval might result under the mill
tary dictatorship.
Some expressed the belief that the
once exiled king might endanger his
throne.
AS political circles argued events
following the government exposure at
which it termed a "communistic plot,
martial law continued to rule the
country.
Newspapers were not allowed to ex-
press the views of their editors. Cen
sorship was unprecedented.

UNEMPLOYMENT IS

Standing In Idleness

Washington, Aug. 7.-(AP)-Com-
merce department officials estimated
that about 9,55O,OOO persons are out Of
work.
Ernest G. Draper, acting commerce
secretary, said the departments fig
ures represent composite estimate"
of unemployment, and are based, in
part, on statistics Of other government
agencies.
The hitherto unpublished figures to-
day fixed unemployment in March,
1888, at 100000. Draper said the
peak was reached in that month. BY
last April, the estimate had dropped
to 100000 and since them, Draper
said that, sit is reasonable to assume
that there has been a further reduc-
ton of 100000 to 100000.
