LA CUARDIA ANNOUNCES
HIS MILK COMMITTEE
Will Inquire Into Various As
poets of the Strike.

Authorized to do so under his own
resolution. Aldermanic President La
Guardia yesterday appointed the follow
ing committee to investigate the milk
strike Aldermen William T. Collins. c.
H. Haubert, John j. ORourke, Jacob w.
Friedman Louis Zeltner and B. Charney
Vladek. the latter a Socialist.
It was outrageous. said Mr. La Qua r.
dia. who is to act as chairman, that
milk should be kept from the people of
the City Of New York because of a dis
pute between employers and employees
over the right to organize. Employees
have as much right to organize as em-
ployers. and one of the reasons for un-
employment was that employers wanted
to starve employees into submission.
He objected. he added, to the police act
ing as distributors for the milk COM
panies.
The committee. which was directed to
report to the Board Of Aldermen within
two weeks, will go into the cost of pro-
duction and distribution of milk.

RISE OF WAGES FEARED

Special Despatch TO TaE New YORK HERALD.
FLORENCE. Ala, Dec. 6.-Henry Ford.
Thomas A. Edison and Edsel Ford, who
ing the Muscle Shoals Water Power De-
velopment. which Mr. Ford has offered
to lease from the Government, are due
to arrive in Dearborn. Mich. late to-
night.
The purpose of the trip was to give
to Mr.. Edison an opportunity TO see the
great power and chemical works in de-
ts!: sc that he may assist Mr. Ford with
report which the latter will forward
to Secretary of War Weeks next week
Mr.. Edison's work has to do with the
chemical end of the project.
No detail of the original Ford offer
for the property will be changed; It
stands as filed. After the Secretary Of
will be the submission OF the Ford offer
to Congress, with or without recommen-
da tion.
This probably will be early in Jam
uary. From then on the question of
whether or not the Ford interests will
take over the greatest water power
project on the North American continent
Is matter to be settled on the floor OF
Congress
If the report of the offer to Congress
carries with it the recommendation of
the Secretary OF War that 1t be accepted
there seems to be little question that
Congress will readily grant the lease
IL the report carries with il no recon-
n9OHA A~w.
VIII develop into a hard fight in the
national legislature.
Ever since Mr.. Fords offer apprised
the country that he was interested in the
project powerful interests have exerted
every effort to thwart acceptance of his
offer. The power companies of this sec
ton of the South see in Mr.. Fords ac-
outsition Of Muscle Shoals q certain re-
duction Of their rates. Near here are
great acreas of land containing bauxite
from which aluminium is made, and
with Mr. Ford a possible producer of
aluminium in great quantities, the alum
mum trust is strongly opposed to Mr.
Ford's advent in the South. The South
ern manufacturers fear that If Mr.. Ford
comes to Muscle Shoals it will mean a
general rise in wages throughout the
South.
The railroads north and south from
the Gulf to the Ohio River have long
enjoyed rates denounced as outrageously
high. With Mr.. Ford at Muscle Shoals
the level OF the waters Of the Tennessee
River will be raised sufficiently to carry
boats Of no mean burden. Mr. Ford has
repeatedly stated that he will do every
thing in his power to develop water car
risge Of freight hence he has the hearty
and unstinted opposition of the rail-
roads. And these are but few of the
interests powerful at Washington which
are seeking by every means possible to
keep the power site from him.
II don't care what the railroads and
others interests do" said Mr. Ford
why should =? From what I've seen
down here I believe that the people of
the South-especislly the working and
professional people--are with me"

DIR. LORENZ LAUDED
BY THE ROTARIANS
story of His Coming Here to
Help Repay Austria.s Debt
ROuses Enthusiasm.
TO CONTINUE HIS CLINICS
BioodIess Operation Oh Knee Is
Performed on Pitts
burgh Girl.

DR. Adolf Lorenz. speaking last night
at the monthly dinner of the Rotary
Club at the Hotel McAlpn. said that:
despite the encouragement he has en-
countered from certain quarters. he still
hoped "the American medical profession
would take the lead in restoring inter-
national amity by shaking hands with
their Viennese colleagues"
The members OF the Rotary Club
cbeered Dr. Lorenz as he told OF the
impulses that moved him to come to
America in the hope that he might help
crippled children and repay in part the
debt the people of Vienna feel they owe
on account Of American charity since
the war.
DR.. Lorenz will hold a clinic at 1e
O'Clock this morning al the Department
of Health Building, sos Pearl street, for
those who already have made appoint
ments to be examined DR. Royal s..
Copeland. Health Commissioner, said
that only patients who have registered
will be permitted at the clinic. Other
clinics possibly will he held at the
Health Department Building. however
and registration for them may be made
by application to DIR. Jacob Sobel. as
sistant director of the Bureau of Child
Hygiene.
A "bloodless operation" was per-
formed by DR.. Lorenz yesterday morn
ing on Marian lie Roy. daughter of Dr.
M. II. LIE Roy Of Pittsburgh. The girl
who Is Is years old, had been suffering
from a deformity of the knees known as
intra-articular redressment. The cor
rection Of deformity was accomplished
by stretching the ligaments without cut
ting. The operation was performed at
st. Marks Hospital where DR.. Lorenz
will hold a clinic next Saturday.
In the afternoon DR.. Lorenz examined
ten private patients at the office of Dr.
Dexter D. Ashley. 346 Lexington avenue
DR.. Ashley was one of DIR. Lorenz's as
sistants when the Viennese specialist
was here eighteen years ago.
Anton Wedl of 105 East Fifteenth
street, friend OF DR.. Lorenz. has had
printed 1000 blue cards emitting the
bearers to the clinics at st. Marks Hos
pital and 1000 red cards for admission
TO the clinics at the Hospital for Joint
Diseases. 1t is thought the cards will
do away with much Of the confusion that
disturbed the clinics last week.
r. R.\Kendrck Smith. director of the
department of public education of the
American Osteopathic Association, an
nounced in Boston yesterday that the as
sociation had invited DR.. Lorenz to
make a tour of the United States at its
expense DR.. Lorenz said he was not
prepared to say what he would do about
the offer Mr. Smith said that osteo-
pathic hospitals all over the country
would be open to DR.. Lorenz.
