MILLER TALKS OH FOOD PROBLEMS Republican Candidate for Gover nor Addresses Crowd at Lewis County Fair— Discusses New York State Matters f i COX READY TO SWING AROUND CIRCLE” IN WEST Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 2.—With E.

'• In announcing last night that he in tended to go to Chicago to represent Governor Cox personally at the in vestigation, Mr. Moore asserted that he was taking with him documents and other data that would back up the governor’s charges, and that if the committee could not get the evi dence from witnesses which it may call 'ho would furnish it himself. He asserted th a t he would see that the committee gets the information. Governor Cox’s departure tonight on his ' “swing around the circle\ in the W est will take him into 22 states be fore he returns to Dayton, October 4. Lowville, N. X., Sept. 2 .—Nathan D. M iller, organization candidate for the Republican nom ination for governor, declared in an address a t the Lewis County Fair today th a t the solution of problems involving the very life of the people of New X o rk State is with in the police power of the state. H e asserted that th e r e is no problem m o re insistently dem a n d ing practical, constructive and energetic solution than that of food, production and dis tribution and declared th a t co-opera tion between tho producer and tho con sum e r is the first essential. Turning to tho problem of milk pro duction and distribution, Judge Mil ler said, the problem w a s how to elimi nate the waste an d needless expense for the benefit of both producer and consumer. “T h e interference of the state should be limited to the necessities of the case,\ Jjidge M iller said. “The sta te should never undertake to do w h n t the citizens can do as well or better. The state should not interfere w ith individual in itiativ e -and effort m o re than to clear the way, to pre vent oppression an d abuse, to Insure quality and give economic laws free operation.” “The problem w e have to deal with is plainly within th e police power of the state, for it involves the health, the very life of the urban population, and, we ought not to allow any pre conceived notions .to interfere with the w isest solution of the problem. The police power of the sta t e is limited only by the public necessity.” DEADLOCK IN B.R.T. STRIKE; TRAINS STONED CHILDREN TRY TO WRECK T “JUST FOR FUN” Troy, N. Y., Sept. 2.—Seven chil dren of foreign parentage, all under 10 and residents of Colonie, were ar rested yesterday by Delawaro & Hud son Railroad detectives charged writh placing an obstruction on tracks in an attem p t to derail a Lake George train last Sunday.

New York, Sept. 2.—The strike of Brooklyn Rapid T r a n s i t Company em ploye's which • h a s seriously crippled service on the -subway, elevated, and surface lines in B rooklyn since last Sunday, appeared to have evolved to day into a deadlock, w ith considerable bitterness in evidence between the strik e rs nnd 3,000 strik e brenkers. Following the r e f u s a l of the strikers to accept a proposal of Federal Judge M ayer, legal custodian of the lines in receivership, to subm it all but wage questions to arbitration, Mayor Hylan today was considering a counter pro posal of the men th a t the company m a k e an offer of a w age increase th a t would be acceptable to Judge Mayer, an d that all other questions be arbi trated.

Fridlger denied th a t any stated’ a m o u n t of wage in crease had been decided upon as a de m a n d but added th a t if a flat in crease acceptable to the men could be obtained they probably would be sa t isfied with it in lieu of arbitration on th a t point. A t the mayor’s office the strike leaders were asked to return to the general strike com m ittee and get “defi nite, concrete proposals” for the mayor to submit to Ju d g e Mayer. These they were told to place before the B o a rd of Estim a te a t 3 o’clock this afternoon. Prince Off for Panama.
