Harmony efforts of labor leaders to keep the American Federation of Labor convention, which convenes here Monday,, free frcm strife were in Jeopardy today. Success or failure in keeping the national mooting: peaceful depends on the s'idc-tracking ol a resolution asking the Federation to inject itslf into foreign affairs and the ability of Federation officials to iion out .differences existing between the carpenters and the buildin? trades department of the Federation.' The proposed resolution, unless withdrawn thiough the conciliatory demands of the Federation, will call on Premier Lenin of Kussia to free all political prisoners. Under discussion on such a resolution. Federation officials believe an attempt might also be made by the more radical group in the organization to keep the Federation officially on record as favoring the freeing of the 113 war-time prisoners in jails in the United States today. They tre regarded as politics! prisoners. This possibility of discord alone marked the otherwise harmonious entrance of labor Into its forty-second annua! convention on Monday, leaders declare. I.st min'ite efforts were under way -to?ay by Samuel Gompers. president of the Federation, to straighten out the difficulties between the carpenters an dthe build;ntr trades department.

DEMAND FOR U.S. LIQUOR

British Distillers Astonished at American Thirst for Scotch Whiskey BT F. A. WRAT. STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE LONDON, June 10. British distillers cannot supply the demand tor liquors whih has arisen In the United States since the prohibition laws t ir-came effective, it was revealed today .by Lord Dewar, one of the leading distillers of Scotch whiskey in Great Britain. The liquor manufacturing Interests of Great Britain would welcome a campaign on this side of the Atlantic by American prohibitionists. Lord Dewar added. He said tl.Bt prohibition in America had aroused snjch a thirst that the whLskey industry in Great Britain is more prosperous than ever before. "The British cannot supply onefifth of the American demand for whiskfty -under prohibition," continued Lord Dewar. "If prohibition did this to the United States think of the rush of business we would do with American prohibitionists at work in Europe." Lord Dewar dropped the subject without revealing how the liquor Is sent into the United States, it is safe to state, howevjer, that the Went Indies loute from the British distiller to the American consumer is the most favoned one. However, it Is possi-ble to send whiskey Into the United States by way of Canada, just as easily as via the West Indies. ' Investigation has shown that t hie reputable distillers of Great Britain, of whom Lord Dewar is one, have refused overtures mad'e to them to undertake ' shipment of liquors direct to the United States in defiance of the prohibition laws." One prominent British distiller, who was approached with regard to supplying a "floet with whiskey "to run the prohibition blockade" angrily rejected the offer. The smuggling is up to the persons who purchase thte whiskey in Canada or the West Indies. Rum runners are employing methods that would astountj a smuggler of olden days. Beautiful young women arte some times employed as agents to throw the prohibition officers off the track and the airplane is being utHixed.

NEW FORD REPORT IS CIRCULATED

Realtors' Curosity Is Whetted By Persistence of Ford Site Stories. Again the attention of real estate circles is whetted by the report that Henry Ford has practically closed the deal for the purchase of a plant site in the Calumet region. j But the realtors know little j about it. -Some have It that Ford I has already made the purchase and that the details will become public soon. Others say that the manufacturer has several sites under con sideratlon, but has not decided upon aay of them. There is no way of confirming or disproving any of these reports until Mr.. Ford or his agents and brokers see fit to say something. C. A. Westbrg, of the East Chicago Company, who would probably know as much as anybody in the Calumet region about such a transaction If it had been completed, denied such knowledge this morning. "That report has been In the air since it first became -known that Mr. Ford desired to purchase In this region." he said. ."His brokers have spent considerable tjme in this vicinity and In the South Chicago district looking over available property, but I have not heard of any deal being closed. Tou can depend upon it that they are not going to show their hand until they are ready. I do not even know how large a tract Ford desires. The stories I hear vary from five acres to 100 acres." . Rumor yesterday was to the effect that a site had been selected in East Chicago or Indiana Harbor and that the price was between $7,000 and $8,000 an acre. 10,000 EXPECTED ' AT ROBY OVAL A dozen or -more speed creations dropped In at the Roby Speedway at various times this morning. The drivers had already signed up as entrants In tomorrow's first race car of the Roby ' Speedway Association and they were anxious to see. what Jack Leech had been able to accomplish In the way of track improvements. "The fastest dirt track in this part of the country," was the statement made time after time as the drjvers skidded into the pits after circling the course several tims. "I've had my old bus In trim for over a -month." said one driver." but she hasn't entered a race yet. I heard that Leech would be back in the game at th Rc-by course so I Just waited. I've got a hunch that I'm going to hang up a record tomorrow." ' Leech was still dressing up some parts of the track this afternoon. Hammond should hire him for street commissioner. He seems to sense the spots which need attention and Insists hewill have the whole surface as firm and dustless as a brick pavement by night. Absence of the dust clouds In spite of the stiff breeze was especlaly noticeable to day. Arrangements have been made to care for a crowd of 10.000 tomorrow and with the new entrances and the cinder roads to all parts of the parking space this crowd should be in place when the' stanter's Rag drops at 2:30. T TO SEE 'E No "gassing" about this. Hundreds of dollars in currency will be washed tonight in tub in the display windows of the Northern Indiana Gas & Electric Co.. in Hohman street. The paper money soiled and greasy will be thrown Into huge tubs filled with sudsy water. Then It will be washed." The purpose of the stunt Is: To demonstrate operation of the N. I.

By JAMCS L. KILG ALLEN STAFF CORRESPONDENT 1. H. SERVICEJ CHICAGO. June 10. The "20.000,000 a day" who go to the movies in this country will view a better, cleaner and more typically American type of pictures this summer and fall. Will H. Hays, "Landis of the' movies." predicted in an Interview today. ' " Those at the studios charged with the production ef pictures are exerting their efforts right now to eliminate and avoid objectionable features In the forthcoming films, he declared., They have been asked to do so by Hays himself. Notices have been posted up In manyof the studios In the past week. "The co-operation is excellent." the "Big Chief, said. "Better pictures in the near future are assured." ' ' t The former cabinet member fs going about his new job in characteristic Hays style quietly, earnestly and with enthusiasm. He says he likes the Job Immensely, even better than politics. The "clean up" of the industry is proceeding noiselessly, efficiently, without firewortfs. Hays declined to discuss specific cases involving screen stars whose escapades have found their way Into the news column. "I will not be a judge of the morals of those in the industry," he remarked. He did say. however, that actors and actresses are now "watching their step." The Job ahead, as Hays sees it. is a big one. He sees x hard pull and he wants "sympathetic co-operation." He is sure the industry will maintain its high place in the business world and attain its "high moral and artistic ideals," but he does not think it Is a one-sided Job. "It has .beenK salJ that certain objectionable pictures are what the public wanted." he asserted. "If that is so. then thp public has a definite duty. However, I know American manhood and womanhood is sound; and that clean pictures are what Is wanted." , The people are against censorship, fundamentally, he said, and in his tonsils and adenoids removed, ship will fair when the reason for the demand Is removed. Asked what h thought of the political situation, he laughingly replied: - "Politics? Say. I don't know a thing about politics. I'm through with It." He added that what he did .not know aboJt the movies vouldJlll the Encyclopedia Brittannica, but he is "going to work very hard'to learn it.'' It's his only coneern except little Will H. Hays Jr.. who is tn a hospital here after having his tonisls and adenoids remOTed.
