 DENVER, Colo. June 9.-The or ganized building craftsmen of the country must free the building indus try of inter union strife, craft juris- dictional disputes or other unneces- sary and burdensome oppressive re- strictions, John H. Donlin, presfd0af of the Building Trades department of the American Federation of Labor, today told the delegates to the de- partment's annual convention.
 Every organization must guaran- tee to arbitrate all questions arising in the industry, the labor leader as serted, and provision must be made to prevent any cessation of work pending the adjudication of any con- troversy.
 We must once and for all stop tying up building operations upon which none but union men are em- ployed.' he added, declaring that the cessation of work inflicted injury lon ourselves and injustice upon the investor and hurt the general morale and well being of the community. .
 We must not injure communities. ]" continued the speaker. cause inno- cent persons to suffer pecuniary losses, not to mention mental anguish the danger of financial ruin, as well as cause our great rank and file to suffer incaiculable losses-

 ''Jurisdictional- disputes are not only the most dangerous problems to organized craftsmen,s but a serious menace to industry.
 Mir. Donlin declared that he be- lieved jurisdictional strikes generally are the result of demagOgues and 7 aspirants for office. or they emanate from a class of workers which it is impossible to satisfy, or for reasons that will not stand for the magnify ing giaas.
 This convention will be mockery, hypocrisy, on the things our move ment stands for unless we solve our inter union disputes.' asserted the labor leader. urging that the depart ment reeffirm it's support to the na- tional board of jurfsdictional awards in the building industry.
 By all the laws of honor upon which civilization rests, we building tradenmen are committed to this board" said Mir. Doniin, warning that the boards work was threatened by the failure of one of the large international unions to obey it's Juris- 11lctfonal decision
 Capital and labor should cooperate to reduce the cost of living. the labor leader said, adding:

INVESTIGATION OF
 LRMY A|R SERVICE
 PLANNED BY WEEKS
lRepubIican A. p. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON, June s.-A per- sonal investigation of conditions in the army air service and of differ ences said to exist between Mai. Gen. G. T. Menoher. chief of the service. and his assistant, Brig. Gen. William NJ. Mitchell. will be conducted by Secretary Weeks. Such announce ment was made today after the relief of General Mitchell from his present assignment had been requested by General Menoher.
 Secretary Weeks declined to make public the request, which, he ex- p1ained. had not re4ched him official ly, and he also refused to set forth the specific reasons given in support of it. He said. however. he would not detach either officer pending his investigation.
 Regret that friction" had been publicly exposed was expressed by Secretary Weeks and he voiced the hope that the incident would be cor rected in a quiet way without reflect ing publicly upon the records of the two. both of whom. he said, he re- garded as excellent men.
 The difference was understood to be due largely to lack of agreement on aviation activities and policies. Repeated statements by General Mitchell. urging unified air service since President Harding addressed congress in opposition to such unifi- cation, and statements by him before a congressional committee regarding 1 the relative worth of capital naval ships and airplanes were said to bs
 among reasons leading to the request
 for his relief.

 That the house bill was much mild CT than the senate bill and would be supported by senators opposing any legislation affecting the meat indus try was asserted by Senator Norris. Foreses Calamity Unless Change
 CHICAGO, June 9.-Thomas E. Wilson, president of the Institute of American Meat Packers, today for warded to members of congress a statement regarding the economic situation of the meat and livestock industry, in connection with proposed legislation to regulate the packing ir- dustry.
 This great industry.is not in po- sition to stand much longer the stress lof the situation that we have gone
 through in the last IS months" the statement said. Unless there is a
 change there is going to be calamity in this country. and a big one"
 Taking up packer legislation. the
 statement declared that the packers l were not opposed to all kinds of leg islation but considered the proposed
 Norris bill unwise, inexpedient and unnecessary because it did not solve
 the economic problems of the pro-
 ducing and consuming public or the packer; because it delegated arbi- of American institutions; because il set up governmental despotism over
 private business which would be de
 structive of individual enterprise and 5 because it gave the power to limit 1 the number and kind of articles han l died by a private business.

It may be that the point ha. 3 been reached where this prejudice car : be allayed only by legislation I 0 that is true, then I personally thinl
 that if some legislation can be work e out which will clear the public mins !, of such prejudice, it would be desir : able from the standpoint of all inter : ested in the industry. Such legisla e ton, however, in, my opinion, shoul' s be limited to concentrating some su l. peryisory authority in one agency o n the government; say, for arguments
 sake. the department of agriculture. d T think that while the secretar d might not have greater power tha Il can be found in one of these existin : l laws now in force scattered in diff g ferent departments, the mere fac le that such power might be vested i ie one agency might give him greate v- power to understand this whole diff le ficulty. to bring different branches (
