LABOR
TROUBLE
AT ARSENAL

Washington. June N.--Detals Of a labor
dispute In the United States armory and
arsenal at Springfield, Mass, was sub
mftted TO the president today by Rep
resentative Southland OF Ohio. Mr..
Southard submitted letter from John
Mulholland. president OF the International
Association OF Metal Mechanics. charging
that Col. Frank p. Phipps. commander OF
the arsenal, has arbitrarily reduced the
wages OF all employees.
The reduction, Mulholland says, es-
peciaIly affects the metal workers. He
urges that the reductions be reconadered.
he declares that he speaks for all class
es or workmen employed in the arsenal,
regardless OF membership in labor organi-
zatons. He contends that no question
OF the recognition OF unionism Is involved
in his appeal.
His desire Is merely that the employees
be paid a fair scale OF wages. On Mr..
Southard's request President Roosevelt
ordered an Investigation by officials OF
the war department, and directed that
meantime no change be made In the scale
OF wages. The facts will be reported to-
the president. and on the basis OF that
report the matter will be determined
