Albany, n. Y. Sept 27.--Early adop-
ton by the Republican Congress
which "cut off the supply OF food or
service necessary TO the life OF the
community and at tho same time
protecting the workman's liberty. was
predicted by E.lihu Root, temporary
chairman. in his address before the
Republican state convention today.
Touching on the recent rail and coal
strikes, Mr.. Root said.
I'VE are all employees and laborere
and the general public Is apt to be Inn

Mr.. Root pointed to the President
handling the rail and coal strikes a
evidence of his work in bringing tn
nation back to normal Industrial con
ditions. and cited the iive-power con
ferences at Washington as evidenc
of his skill as a. statesman in inter
