Dearest Page Four a PRIEST FINDS PRAISING GOD GOOD BUSINESS Greek Meets. Greek in Contest over Spoils By HELENE WOLF, Finding that independent priesthood did not pay, Father Leon Pegeas of the Greek Orthodox Church, was on the verge of returning to the guardian- ship of his mother church, according to testimony in the superior court of Cook County today. Every rich Greek restaurant owner in Chicago has an interest in the case of Father Pegeas’ estate now in progress before Judge Swanson, The reverend father’s little investments in religion evidently paid | him well, for the estate amounts to about $100,000, No Entangling Alliances. Father Pegeas belonged to the Greek Orthodox Church, as directly under the command of the Holy Synod of Athens as the Roman Catho- He is under the domination of Rome. But Leon got tired of his bosses. He decided to set up in business for him- self. He found this the easier because there was a split in the Greek church. At the time Venizelos, Greek premier, got rid of King Constantine, the Greek opium vendors in this country began to find the rule of Archbishop Troi- anus of Athens irksome. Bishop Alexander of the United States then started the “New Church” and, having first obtained divine per- mission by one of those mysterious methods known only to priests, ap- pointed himself Archbishop of North and South America. The religious Greeks in this country at once began to quarrel among themselves. Population Increased But— At this time Father Pegeas quit his rich Greek clientele and started in on his own, as an independent priest. However, witnesses say, he decided some months before his death to go back to the Holy Synod, because he “could not make a good living with- out them,” that is, the reverend father found that the corporation handled the biggest end of the busi- ness, and he could not compete. Mar- riages had fallen off appallingly, and as for christenings. . . . According to the rule of the Holy Synod all property of a priest reverts, after his death, to the mother church. But the fact that Father Pegeas wan- N. Y. MASS MEETING TUESDAY TO ANSWER LA FOLLETTE’S WAIL NEW YORK, June 9.—The Minne- sota Farmer-Labor Federation, where a personal representative of LaFollette appeared, overwhelming- ly voted to redouble its efforts for the June 17 convention. “The St. Paul convention is not called to crown a king but to found a party,” declared R. D. Cramer, leader of the Minnesota farmer-labor movement. This is the answer of the workers and farmers everywhere to the as- sault on the St. Paul convention made by LaFollette. LaFollette has attempted to stab the class Farmer-Labor party move- ment in the back by raising the bo- gey of Communists, the Third Inter- nationale, in true department of jus- tice style. The Socialist party, that decrepit old grandmother of reactionary so- cialism, sneaks out from its murky niche and seconds the vitrolle vapor- ing against the Workers’ party. Dis- credited before the workers as the apostle of Scheiderman socialism in America, it now seeks the limelight by joining LaFollette in an attack on the movement for a class Farm- er-Labor party. The Communists will answer at a mass meeting arranged for Tuesday | evening, June 10, at Cooper Union, Eighth street and Third avenue. Thousands of militant workers should come to the meeting at Coop- er Union and demonstrate for a class party. Admission is free. Prominent speakers will address the meeting.

SYDNEY, June 9.—Close co-opera- tion of the consumers’ co-operatives with the trade unions in time of strike and industrial peace, which will strengthen both groups, has been proposed by the Consumers’ Co-oper- ative congress of Australia. Trade unions are urged to invest their sur- plus funds in the New South Wales Wholesale Co-operative society. Union funds so invested would not only draw a good interest, but in time of strike the entire funds would be- come available in the shape of cred- its for food and other supplies. The purpose behind this unique plan is to prevent the starving of the workers back to their jobs by the big whole- sale corporations, who refuse to sup- ply retailers in the industrial fields where men are on strike, thus cutting off the food supply and starving the workers into submission. The co-op- erative wholesale will stand behind the local co-operative stores so that they cannot be affected by such tac- tics. Send in that Subscription Today!

But Krematorfsky, the center of the great smelting, machine and coke works is. the revolutionary gem of the whole district. We were present at one of the most inspiring party meet- ings I have ever witnessed. Twenty- seven new members were accepted as candidates into the party. These splendid metal workers, the cream of the Russian Soviet, spoke. They have had revolutionary train- jing in plenty. Seventeen times the jbeast Denikin took possession of their town only to be thrown out seventeen times by the Krematorfsky reds. They raised the roof this time cheer- ing for the Mopr and international solidarity and we had to get on our jfeet time and again to speak and give them all the information for which they were thirsting. A resolution was passed to give regular help to the Mopr amid cheering. These brawny comrades have been tried both in the fire of the great coke and metal works and also in the revo- lutionary battles. Russia is safe with them. They have won. Rusia has boys will take their turn on the block and battle the coal and steel barons to the last ditch. This is their message to the outside world.

Odessa is one of the largest seaports on the Black Sea. There are always foreign ships calling at the port, and one can always meet foreign sailors in town. Before the revolution the foreign sailors used to go’ ashore for “a good time” and the saloons and the Red Light district were well known to them, Seamen Feel at Home. Now when a foreign sailor lands in Odessa he looks up the International Seamens’ Club, at 2 Boulevard Feld- man, where he is sure to find a news- paper in his own language, and meet people who speak his tongue. He feels at home in the land of the Soviets. The seamen’s union takes care of its foreign guests and enter- tains them in a wholesome, healthy way. On the first of May, they had a con- cert and meeting in the International Seamens’ Club with speakers in Rus- sian, German, English, Greek and other languages. They sang the In- ternational in many different lan- guages. The seamen’s union publishes in Odessa a newspaper called “The Sea- man,” which prints in every issue a short editorial in English. Unveil Lenin Statue. On May 2nd, while the city was still celebrating the International workers’ holiday, the shipbuilders of the Marti & Badin works, solemnly celebrated the unveiling of the monument of Nicholas Lenin. The. workers collected the neces- sary money among themselves and the best design adopted was also sub- mitted by a worker. The monument was unveiled in the presence of repre- sentatives of labor unions, the army, childrens’ homes, public schools, etc. The monument stands in the center of the great works and is probably the only one in the world standing within the gates of a factory.

The conference aimed at the solu- tion of the controversy between the two countries over, the non-payment of Roumania’s debt to Italy. Averescu returned to Bukharest to address a meeting of 10,000 partisans, nearly all land-holding aristocrats. Averescu was an enthusiastic par- tisan of the world war. 1 Filipinos Regret Congress Neglected Independence Issue WASHINGTON, June 9—The Philip- pine independence mission has sent out a statement appealing to the American nation “for freedom and justice,” claiming that “the situation prevailing in the islands is unbear- able.” The appeal was made when it was seen that congress was adjourn- ing this session without any action to relieve the intolerable conditions in the Philippines.

Wabash Ave. Twenty little Negro Communists, organized into a junior group by Com- rade Howell Phillips, began two months ago to meet in the next room. Then the 20 little Negro Scouts, like the little Negro boys of the old nur- sery rhyme, became steadily fewer in number. One by one, they succumbed to the revolutionary fervor of the comrades next door. As a result, the 20 little Negro Communists are now looking for other quarters, in’ which landlords hope, there will be less chance to de- tract from landlords reputations and the reputation of the class to which landlords belong. The rapidity with which the con- version of the Boy Scouts was taking place finally led Mrs. McKinley, in charge of the Community House, to ask the Communists to leave. As a rule Mrs. McKinley observes strict sim- partiality in such matters, and lets the American Legion and the south side branch of the Workers’ party meet in the same front: parlor on al- ternate weeks. ¥ When Scoutmasters began to com- plain that the same children, which had once appeared at fiag-waving rituals, were now to be seen playing revolutionary games and discussing revolutionary problems, howevér, Mrs. McKinley thot that matters had gone far enough. Comrade Phillips asks that a girl comrade volunteer to help in the junior group on Sunday afternoons. Bosses Bound by Union Agreement Like Any Contract NEW YORK, June 9.—A union con- tract is binding on the employer, ac- cording to the ruling of Justice Bijur in New York who refused to set aside a contract between the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ union and Charles Maisel & Co. The company sought to end the agreement signed last year on the ground that it was obtained by intimidation and duress. This i:eferred to a strike which the judge ruled was not an act under duress.

But the miners still believe, according to Secretary A. J. Smith of the Miners’ Federation, that the only solution of the wage question is voluntary unifi- cation of the industry or else nation. alization. The court found that in certain districts miners were receive ing less than) pre-war earnings while owners got profits in excess of oy in pre-war years. 40 Per Cent Above Pre-war Level, The new agreement, which is for one year, was reached in a three-day conference in which the owners cons ceeded a minimum wage for all day workmen in any district, to be not less than 40 per cent above the pay of the lowest paid day worker in that district in 1914. In the 1921 agree- ment the minimum was 20 per cent above the bottom wage of pre-war years. The owners also agreed to a general minimum (to be paid all min- ers ‘before the owners take any prof- its) at 33 1-3 per cent instead of 20 per cent above 1914 average wages. The new agreement reduces the owners’ standard profits from 17 per cent to 15 per cent of standard wages (1914 average) and provides that ex- cess profits shall be divided 88 per cent to wages and 12 per cent to prof- its instead of 83 per cent to wages and 17 per cent to profits as in the old agreement.
