ROOT SAYS LAWS COMING
 TO PUT END TO STRIKES

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 28-Elihu Root, acting as temporary chairman of the Republican state convention, predicts the early adoption of laws which will prohibit strikes which cut of the supply of food or service necessary to the life of communities. These laws, he says, at the same time will protect the liberty of the workers.
 We are all employers and labor ers'', he said, "and the general public is apt to become impatient about strikes So long as strikes were content to secure for labor q fair share of wealth created by in vention and discovery. the sympathy of the public is with labor; when the strike becomes an attempt to coerce the public into taking action by cutting of food or necessary service, public feeling goes the other way". -"-.

CHANCEINR ROAD
Law Is NEEDED
State Now Unable To Maintain
Highways Through Incorpor-
ated Towns, Despite Need

The decision from the attorney
generals office that the State High
way Department has no authority to
maintain roads through incorporated
towns may prove a serious handicap
20 the development of the states
system of highways. II is well known
that many of the small incorporated
towns are unable to keep their
streets in the condition of first class
highways, and this would mean a
break of mile or two of bad road
IN every few miles of state main
tanned roads. In some places where
Incorporated towns are close togeth-
en- 1t will he necessary to transport
machines and road forces two miles
to work half mile stretch. To rem
edy this situation the suggestion has
been made that the general assemb-
ly at its next session amend the law
to conform with the federal regula-
zion which provides that roads may
be built and maintained through
towns of 1000 pouIation or less and
in towns Of larger population roads
may be built and maintained a dis
lance of one mile inside the incor9-
crate limits where the houses in said
incorporate limits along this road av-
erage 200 feet apart. This would not
only solve a problem confronting
the woodworking forces but would
bring uniformity between state and
federal authorities.
