GEN. WOODS POSITION.
Presidential Candidate Favors Encourag-
ing American Industries.

Colonel Thomas " Miller. one Of the
Eastern managers Of General Mood
has taken UP personally with General
Wood the matter Of the controversy
over the dycstuff bill now pending In the
Senate. because Of its great local interest
in Delaware.
General Wood has assured Mr. Miller
that he believes every encouragement
should be gwen TO American industries
developed during the war, such as Goa! tar
products and the dyestuffs industries
because they are first cousins to powder
and preparedness, but it Is General " oods
policy as candidate not 10 interfere
with State or national legislation
Mr.. Miller stated that, for obvious
reasons. Senator Kenyon was one Of the
last persons in the country who should
by inference presume 10 speak for General
Wood, as he did when he said on the floor
Of the Senate that General Wood resented
what had been done. because Kenyon has
been personally campaigning against
General Wood in several States.
General Wood places himself on record
also. according 10 Col Miller, az beng
in favor Of immediate adequate measures
TO insure the success Of the vocational
training system for disabled soldiers.
