Matter Is Finally Adjusted, There Will Be No Repeti- ton and Case Closed With out Further Discussion, Secretary Weeks States
GEN. CHARLES T MENoHER
By Associated Press

Washington June Secretary Weeks apparently has smoothed out friction in the army air service, for he announced today that Major Gen eral Menoher, chief of the service. has withdrawn his recent written re- quest that Brigadier General Mitch- ell, assistant chief and director ot operations, be relieved from that duty. The announcement followed a conference between the secretary and the two officers.
 Secretary Weeks said it was clearly understood that the activities of Gem eral Mitchell. which led to General Menohers recommendation for his relief would not be repeated. He in- tended, MT. Weeks added, ito utilize the excellent qualities of both these officers to the fullest extent, each in his special sphere" but will hold General Menoher responsible for the whole conduct of the air service as it's legal and actual head.f
 
 MT. Weeks said There will be no repetition, and the case is closed without further discussion
 One of the reasons assigned by General. Menoher for his request for the removal of Genera! Mitchell was the latter's continued support of a movement for unified federal air service after President Harding had publicly announced such plan.
 Tn making this announcement, the statement said, the Secretary of War states that the recommendation made by General Menoher in this matter was based upon reasons sub nitted with the letter which in the opinion of the Secretary of War jus tifed his action. The-secretary how ever. believing that in the interests oe the air service and of the gov ernment itself. such action would be undesirable and unfortunate at thls time, has been able to secure satls- fa ctory adjustment of the difficulties involYed :"

DECREASED WAGES

President Markham Gives Views on Crop and
 Labor Situation

Through President C. H. Markham. the Illinois Central railroad has of- fleially notified officials and other employees that the money saved by decrease in wages and salaries or dered by the labor board will be and already is being invested in the Nem- ployment of additional men and in purchase of needed materials and supplies.
 This is outlined in an official cir cular letter copy of which has been received by General Agent Stovall. Birmingham.
 Crop prospects are good. says President Markham and the pressing duty of the railroads is to place the roadway and equipment in condition to serve this fall"
 MT Markham says:
 "The decision of the labor board it. regard to the reduction Of wages. when it becomes effective. will re- suit in substantial decrease of the Ithe operating expenses of the Ii- nois Central system. You will be interested in learning that we intend to invest that money in maintenance V hich has been deferred. in the em ployment of additional men and in the purchase of materials and sup ] rlies We have not waited for the money 60 come in, but have already entered upon our programme and we believe that other railways will do likewise
 The action of the labor board therefore operates as the first signal for the opening up of business which will rebound to the benefit of the public at large.
 The crop prospects are favorable. This railway recognizes it's press ing duty to patrons to place it's roadway and equipment in condition to serve them this fall The tabor board decision will help to enable it to meet that duty
 You are aware of thei agitation for the reduction of freight ana passenger rates. The interstate commerce commission is watching that question closely. Already many of the freight rates have been ad- jrsted and other adjustments are under consideration at the present time. However, on account of the physical condition of the railways and the great necessity of spending large sums to bring them back to their former state of efficiency it is not believed that rates can be re- dLced generally al any time within, present vision.
