GREECE MM FORM A

Daily Mail today wires from Athens, hinting that former Pre
mier Venizelos will soon organize a Greek republic, to the su)>
plant the present kingdom under King Constantine. “The king
dom of Greece,” says the correspondent, “is now a kingdom
only in name. The provinces of Salonika, Thasos, Lemnos,
Chios, Samos and Mytlet are no longer governed from Athens.
The island of Crete is in revolt and has proclaimed a provision
al governor. The province of Cyclades is on the verge of fol
lowing .suit. A proclamation of independence has been issued
in the province of Epirus. The Larissa district is biding its
time to do likewise, while the provinces of Phocis and Aearu
ania are wavering. Only Athens and Peloponnesus remain
loyal to the king, but even in these districts dissatisfaction is
openly expressed by the people.”
The city of Athens is placarded with appeals to the king
“to draw the sword or abdicate.”

powers continues, which is regarded as not improbable in the
circumstances, Greece will declare war against Bulgaria on her
own account.

nina, has published an appeal urging the inhabitants of Aprus

BOXING MATCH
ENDS IN ROUGH
HOUSE MIX UP
_
SEATTLE, Sept. 25—The four
round boxing match at the arena Sat
urday night, between Freddie Welsh, I
world champion lightweight, and Har
ry Anderson, a local celebrity, ended I
in a riot, and had it not been for the ;
presence of a number of policemen, se
rious results might have followed.
The trouble grew out of the decision
of Referee Eddie Carsey, who declared
Welsh the winner, without waiting the
decision of three judges, which the j
Washington state law governing box-1
ing matches requires. When Referee
Carsey gave his decision, Frank Pur
cell, Anderson’s manager, assaulted
him, felling him to the floor.
A dozen policemen rushed to the
ring and prevented a general battle
between the sympathizers of the re
spective pugilists. The crowd hooted
the decision, as Anderson was clearly
entitled to it, easily outpointing the
champion.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—“The general strike of all trade
union men affiliated with the Central Federated Union, which
is scheduled to take effect Wednesday and which will involve
eijffit hundred thousand men and women who are unionists,”
said Ernest Bolnn, secretary of the Central Federated Union
today, “is based on tin* proposition that union men and women
cannot maintain their sell-respect it they ride on street cars
operated by strike breakers.’’ Continuing Bolim said, “Un
u.ii employes cannot be expected to risk their lives in going to
and from their employments by riding on street cars operated
y green motormen. The general tieup is coming because the
employers of union labor will not provide their employees with
a safe means of transportation to and from their work and
enable them to remain off the dangerous cars now operated by
strike breakers and protected by police officers of the city.
Anil turther,” said Bolim, “we are in entire sympathy with
the street car union in its demand for better working condi
tions.”
Statement From President Shonts.
In a statement issued last night telling of the attitude of
the Interborough toward the demands of the men, President
Shonts said:
“My position as president of the company is that these
contracts entered into by individual men and to which the uir
ion objects, were entered into voluntarily by the men and offi
cers of the company, that they are binding upon both parties,
that they cannot be abrogated by either without the consent of
tin* otliei, ami that in making the same hot 11 parties were exer
cising the right of liberty to contract guaranteed bv the consti
tution.
“It is, therefore, obviously impossible to comply with the
demands of the minority represented by the officers of the
Amalgamated.
“The representatives of the union, in calling out the men on
the New 'l ork city street lines, have violated, without any
cause whatever, the agreement which the union leaders had en
tered into with Mayor Mitchell and Chairman Straus, of the
mediation committee, because affairs under that agreement
were proceeding orderly and harmoniously. The agreement
itself provides the remedy for any dispute that should arise.
There is nothing involved in this controversy except the
right of the employes of the Interborough to form their own
brotherhood and the right of the company and the members of
the brotherhood to enter into contracts respecting rates of pay
and hours of labor.”
Want Governor to Call Extra Session.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—Great pressure is being brought
