Warning Is .Issued To V (JnionLabor President of ' Building' Trades Says Open Shop Will Come Back Unless Men Settle v Bickerings. Worlc Near Stands By ARTHUR M. EVANS.' I hii ngu Trlbune-Omana ttrti Leaned Wire. Chicago, Sept. 26. A warning to the building crahs that unless they "resorf to reasoii" and put an end to jurisdictional d'sputcs, the unions may go to smash and the "open shop" come into vogue, has been is sued front Washington by John It. Donlin, president of the building trades department of the American Federation of Labor. In a letter addressed to each in ternational union, affiliated with his department Mr. Donlin, without mincing words, declares that juris dictional bickerings strikes over which union is to do certain work have turned the organized building trades into a "destructive instrument, which can no longer be tolerated by its members." He says the only salvation lies in the national board v awards, which was organized, March 3, 1V19, to deal with internal imputes and he urge that the crafts. iii'iiijers ana omcers; give n tun port. In a word, he tells the trades they must stop fighting or .succumb as unions. " The letter, which is irgarded as the most important development in months in the building industry now stagnant throughout the coun try was made public in Chicago Sunday almost on trie eve of the Na tional Building and Construction congress, which assembles at th4 otel LaSalle today to consider all phases of the 'Question: "What is the matter with building activities and what remedies can be applied? Must Have Full Acceptance. In part President Donlin says: "The national board of jurisdictional aVards must have the full, practical acceptance of the officers of all building trades, and we have so obligated ourselves. The great mem bership of our unions is heartily in accord with the plan as established. "Our movement without such a court of awards is not just and right and not an effective instru ment for enhancing the opportun ities of our membership. Organized building trades can no longer con tinue to cause loss to the investor, loss to the worker and injury to the industries interested. Jurisdictional disputes have made the Organized building trades a destructive' instru ment which can no. longer be tol erated by its members, who pro founds believe our movement should promote and preserve inter ests and eliminate anything tending to destroy. "They feel this board is as neces sary to their interests, to the per- petuity of their organ izatidlis, as is the supreme court of the nation. The national board for awards ..is our i only salvation." - Building' Near Standstill. Building experts say that 30 days more will see building activities in Chicago almost et a standstill. 'Al ready 6,000 carpenters are reported out of work. Of the j .jnei in the building trades, now1 estimated at 45,000 In Chicago, as Against 82,000 in 1916, 50 per- cent are now idle. A ' month from now 80 'to 90 per cent are expected to be without empky- ! ment., In Chicago at least $150,000,000 worth of building construction is held up by prohibitive costs, the es timate being by the building de partment. In the middle west for the ' first eight months of 1920, the build ing under contemplation is placed at more7 than $1,225,000,000. But contracts have been actuallv award ed for a ' little more than $500,000,- ' 000. and of this a large part is in suspension. - Conservative men say in the midwest the work hung up amounts toat leas'. $1,000,000,000. The les work the more strikes that is Chicago's experience. Hardly a building tinder construction is without labor troubles, mainly juris- eicuonai. X'or instance, ine new Crerar library has a strike of the ornamental iron workers, due to a quarrel over whether they or the .sheet metal workers should install the shelving.

Bryan Says: In the June, 1920,sissue of his weekly paper, The Commoner, William J. Bryan had this to 'say of Governor Cox, now the democratic nominee for president: 'I ' "-,' "Governdf Cox's record is as malodorous as Governor Edwards', and extends over a longer period. The New Jersey governor began work in the vineyard, if I may be pardoned tfce illustration, at the 1 1 til hour, while Governor Cox entered in the morning rfd per spired under the rays of the rising sun of prohibition. - "Governor Cox can secure letters of recommendation from all the brewers, distillers, wholesalers, retailers and topers in his state.

" t ' , 'He was even willing that the brewers slfould write into Ohio's constitution a falsehood, declaring that 2.75 -per cent beer is.not in toxicating, thus violating the national enforcement act. No wonder . he has the enthusiastic support of those who manufacture criminals for pay and make a business of the corruption of politics. 1 "It is the height of audacity vthat a man with such arecord and such support should aspire to a democratic nomination in face of the fact that every democratic state ratified the prohibition amendment agd in face of the further fact that 34 of the states are dry by their own individual acts. The absurdity of his candidacy become the more apparent when it is remembered that at least 15,000,000 women will be able to vote at the coming presidential election by virtue of state Jaws. If the suffrage amendment is ratified before November, some 25,000,000 women will be entitled to ot." , Nor did Mr. Bryan change his view s when governor Cox was nomi nated. Alter the nomination, he wrote: i "The nomination of Governor Cox signalizes the surrender of the democratic party into the hands of trte reactionary interests on both the liquor question and the fina.ncials question generally. "A candidate is judged bythe company he- keeps, and GA-ernor. Cox's company leaves no doubt as to the view entertained byhim and by those interested in th,c. manufacture, use and sale of intoxi cating liquor, and by those whorepresent big business."

President Wilson's declaration refusing to exe cute the provision of the shipping law directing abrogation of certain commercial treaties, was character ized here by the republican national committee as the. "most dreadful as sault yet made upon the constitu tion," and a flagrant attempt to set up in the United Stales "an obnox ious form of tyranny known under the Tudor and Stuart despotism as 'the dispensing power.' " The attack on the president's opin ion, was given to the republican com mittee by Ilannii Taylor, one of the t country's foremost authorities -on in ternational law, himself a democrat, who served as minister to Spain un der Grover Cleveland. Assault Upon Constitution. "President Wilson," said Mr. Tay lor, "says he will not enforce an act passed by congress and signed by himself; that is to say he will 'dis pense' with a certain section of the f act of congress approved of by him. i It is tlve most dreadful assault yet made upon the constitution, even by the Wilson dictatorship, because it is a flagrant attempt to set up in tliis country, an obnoxious form of tyranny known under the Tudor and Stuart despotism as '"the dis pensing power.' .That power was designed to be the right of the king 'for special reasons "to suspend a part of the whole of a statute, for a series of statutes in conflict with the royal will.'
