Mayor Says Mexican Peo-

to- Be Offended.

Fl Paso, Tex, Sept. 7.-Tearing
down of Mexican flags at Liberty hall
the day following the recognition meet
ing there was laid indirectly to the
Ku Klux Klan by the city council to-
day.
The council passed resolutions soon
demning the tearing down of Mexican
flags" after Mayor Dudley had ex-
pressed the belief that the klan was
responsible.
1T has been the boast here that Ell
PasO has branch of the khan but
has had no acts of violence" Mayor
Dudley told the council, but this
looks like violence to me-"
''The city owns a large number of
flags of foreign countries. and these
were placed in Liberty hall the night
of the recognition for decoration. The
hall had previously been engaged by
the Ku Klux Klan for khan speaker
and released for the recognition meet
ing. Just before the klan meeting the
following night, some one went through
the hall and tore down the flags.
"The Mexican people have just
cause to be offended and it is also an
insult to the city and the United
States flag. feel that an apology is
due from the people who used masked
methods in accomplishing this act. '
G. L. Sirmans. imperial wizard of
the khan, said today that he did not
know the flags were torn down.

BANKERS AROUSE LABOR
 BY SEEKING TO DICTATE UNION BUSTING POLICIES
Regulation Proposal Seized Upon By Some as Means of Forcing NOn-UniOn Conditions.
 Union Bank Retaliates

(By International Labor News Service)
 New York City, June 15.-Whether big banking interests and organized building contractors are taking advantage of the movement for limitation of build ing operations, to strike a blow at or ganized labor is question that is agitating the trade union movement here
 At about the time agitation began to curtail new building operations wage movements were under way in the build ing trades.
 The avowed object of the movement to curtal building not only in New York, but elsewhere. has been to give home building the right of way over the build ing of monumental structures As a reason for curtailing building operations in this manner proponents of the move ment have cited, shortage of building materials. speculative rates of interest and last but not least in the minds of some, the wages in the building trades.
 SEES OPEN SHOP" FIGHT.
 Some of the opponents of restriction have been most frank in giving their reasons for restriction and in setting forth the object that they hope to achieve i

do not think that this ploblem will be solved until the open shop has been es- tablished." Other bankers merely an- nounced that loans on great building projects would be stopped.
 Joseph w. Phair, treasurer of the quoted by the New York Herald as say stopped generally"
 On May g the bricklayers ceased work and on May g President Con over of the Mason Builders Associa- tion, was. quoted in the New York Herald to the effect that sthe builders welcome showdown" because "the public and the banks are behind us''
 One phase of the situation is the competition between the organized. build ing trades employers and independent builders engaged in highly speculative construction. Some of these independent contractors. it is said have been paying any price necessary to secure materials and workers. The public statements of the banking interests, however, indicate that they interrupt the movement for re- str1ct1on as having far deeper meaning
 LABOR BANK AROUSED.
 The Federation Bank of New York. the new labor bank supported by the
 ieidSo dIId IdJOI A-Oul1C1I, State Federation of Labor. and ali or ganlzed labor of New York. has accepted the declarations of the Mason Builders Association and of the Bankers and Trust Company officials as direct cha1- lenge to labor.
 The Allied Printing Trades Council adopted resolutions and sent them broad cast throughout the labor movement of New fork. commenting on the state nent of President Conover of the Mason Builders Association. Ut was the flnancIers in San Francisco and Chicago who spent millions to force non-union conditions in building trade unions in those cities" the circular said. Whether 1 they can do this in New York rests solely with the members of organized labor" Other organizations. including the Cen ral Trades and Labor Council. have adopted resolutions calling upon all labor 'rganlzations and members of organized uabor Tn New York to answer what they interpret as challenge by the employers md the bankers by accommodating their lnancial reserves in their own institution.

CURB BIG BUILDING SAYS DONLIN;
 GIVE DWELLINGS A CHANCE

weeks in New York City There building construction had increased to five times normal production. The building labor supply in the, East was not sufficient to supply the demand for workmen. Under such circum- stances it was inevitable that prices should soar and that the efficiency of the average workman would be re- duced. Lack of building during the war is responsible for present condi- tions
 What everybody interested in continuous prosperity in the building industry wants" says MT. Donlin, "is to postpone as much as possible of the construction of big buildings in order to check imitation. This kind of building can then be taken up again as soon as conditions begin ap- preaching the normal"
 One of the evils of the present situation, according to MT. Donlin, is the fact that home building must give way to monumental building. A workman prefers to work on a big office building because that work is more regular and he is not forced to lug his tools around daily Fur thermore, it is the big constructors working against time who offer the biggest bonuses. While monumental building is given preference by every body-bankers, builders, dealers, and homes are built and rents continue to rise.
The Connecticut labor news., 1923-06-15

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., June 8.-J ohm Donlin, president of the Building Trades Department of the American Federation of Labor, heartily ap- proves the movement to curtail build ing construction in the United States
 Everybody who is not blinded by temporary profits realizes the need of taking measures to check infation in the building industry" says MT. Donlin: "If building programs are not halted to some extent, builders will continue to bid against each other for the services of workmen and for materials until prices sky rocket and force reaction that will affect all industry. If the study of business cycles has taught us any thing, it has taught us the necessity. of doing all in our power to keep in dustrial conditions on a normal plane or else we must again suffer the con sequences of inevitable dehation. Employment conditions are now highly unbalanced; we must begin planning in a national way now to prevent future unemployment"
 It IS said that bankers are an eff fective group in checking the present mad rush in the building industry. They can postpone a great deal of building until more favorable time by refusing to make excessive loans on big building construction. This has been done within the last few
