The other labor case involved the
Hod Carriers Council of Chicago
and a local of the Union of Operat-
ing Engineers. Their officials were
said to have conspired to prevent
the use of truck mixers for handling
cement on construction jobs. They
also demanded, the Government said,
that contractors using those mixers
employ the same number of men
that would have been required had
the mixers not been used.
In the interunion rivalry cases,
lower courts had sustained demur-

A. F. L. on the basis of the Supreme

German Aggression
Made on Prefexts,
Greeks Say in Reply
Nozis Never PIoced Doubt
On Athens Neutrality,
Statement Declares

By the Associated Press.
ATHENS, April IAN authorized
Greek statement denied today the
charges in a German note which
said Greece brought war on herself
by violating neutrality and permit
ting British forces to land on Euro
pean soil.
The text Of the Greek statement:
This matter of unprovoked ag-
gression on the part of Germany
against Greece is nowise justified.
In fact, allegations advanced in the
(German) note constitute pure pre-
texts having no foundation.
"Since the beginning of the war
to the Italian attack on October
%. 1910, Greece, despite many
provocations, scrupulously observed
an attitude of strict neutrality. Uni
versal public opinion is convinced of
this and no artiflce can shake this
conviction.
Never Put Neutrality In Doubt.
THE German government never
published or communicated with the
Greek government anything putting
Greek neutrality in doubt. On the
contrary, the Reich government a
short time before the Italian attack
did not fail to recognize in the most
solemn manner the policy of strict
neutrality observed in Greece.
AT the moment of Italian aggreS-
sion, in virtue of guarantee accord
ed Greece-a guarantee the German
government knew about-the British
government offered Greece all as
sistance she would ask. The Greek
government, however, despite the
enormous disproportion between
Greek and Italian forces, asked only
aerial aid, very limited.
This almost exaggerated caution
of the Greek government to avoid
any misunderstanding was recog-
niZed on several occasions by the
German government and notably by
way of its diplomatic representative
in Athens who declared more than
once that a few English air effec-
tives would not interest his govern
ment so long as the action was lim-
tied to the Italian front.
Measures Were Defensive.
Even despite these facts the Greek
government did not fail to declare
by official communiques recently
published that measures taken in
Greece were essentially defensive
and on her side there existed no in
tention of provoking extension c.
the war in the Balkans.
THE German government tries
in vain to twist the truth. The
fact remains undeniable that the
German Reich, sharing the Italian
conception of what Greece ought
to be, has put its war machine in
motion to give stab in the back
to this little country at a moment
when it struggles heroically for ex-
istence.

Among 400 candidates from New England expected to take the flying cadet written eXamir ations on No- vember l2, are 10 prospective Wa terbury airmen, according to an an- nouncement by Lieut.. Col.

 While more than twenty youth took the rigorous physical eXamina- tons prescribed, less than half their number were successful, ard these will in all probability take their educational examinations at the Windsor Locks air base.
 Col. Rice reported that 372 men have already passed the physical, and with more than two weeks left, the likelihood is that the figure will exceel 400. Examinations will be con- ducted next month at four new lo- cations Fort Williams, Maine; Fort Devens, Mass; Fort Adams, R. l and Windsor Locks.
