UTILITY SERVICE What Dollar You Spend Buys More Value? for Mutual Understanding The gas and electric companies of the Empire State, where more gas and electricity are used than anywhere else in the country, confront a big and continuing job to meet the demands being made on them for service, and to expand to be able to meet greater demands ahead. These companies cannot do the job alone. Just as you need their service, they need and want your understanding of all the problems involved, and the investment to finance service expansion must come from you.

Maintaining good utility service is not a case of each working for himself. It involves understanding of the situation, cooperation by all parties in interest, and mutual goodwill. It is our purpose to discuss these problems with you so that a solution may be reached which will benefit both customers and companies. Brooklyn Edison Company Lloyd George Spurns Huge Fees for Speeches in U. S.

(By Cable to The Brooklyn Eagle and Phila. Ledger; Copyright, 1928.) London, Aug. 25-Former Premier Lloyd George says the object of his forthcoming visit to America is to study American problems on the spot and make a personal acquaintance with Canada. Leaving London toward the end of September he will proceed direct from New York to Montreal and other Canadian. cities, where organizations have invited him, but on his return journey probably will travel into the Middle West and return through New York.

He will be absent from England five or six weeks and in any case will be back in time for the reassembling of Parlament, on Nov. 13. He has refused generous offers to let himself go to the American people. Booking agents and others have offered fabulous fees for him to deliver addresses on any subject he might choose. Half of these offers, if accepted, would make him a rich man, says one editor in his newspaper, the Daily Chronicle.

On the contrary Lloyd George has no intention, of making beyond acknowledgment of greetings. Mrs. Lloyd George; His daughter, Miss Megan, and his secretary, Mr. Silvester, will accompany him. California Climate Promised for Week Somebody got a bit overzealous yesterday and reported the Weather Bureau as predicting a cold wave over the week- end which would justify the wearing of furs.

Associate Forecaster James H. Kimball said last night that, on the contrary, the weather over the week-end promised to be fair with "moderate temperatures." Mr. Kimball said that it was cool yesterday--that is, about three degrees below the normal for this time of yearbut that no records were broken. It was 60 degrees at 8 o'clock yesterday morning--just cool enough to be perfectly delightful. Unofficially it may be said that even California, with its boasted climate, can show nothing finer than we have had in the past few days, without the clammy sea fogs which roll down on San Francosco on the afternoons of even the balmiest days.

25- Miners' union officials and mine operators representatives accepted today the request of the Governor of Pennsylvania for conference at Harrisburg on Monday, in an endeavor to exhaust every means of preventing a suspension of mining next week. At the same time the union machinery was steadily at work upon its obJect of making the shutdown effective, and John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, took occasion to repeat in emphatic words the union ultimatum that no arbitration offers would now serve to avert the consequences of a failure of the employers in the Industry to grant wage increases and other demands. Though the union leaders would meet with Governor Pinchot, Mr. Lewis said, their attitude would be unchanged.

For the operators, it was said their answer to the Governor's request was "cordial," and practically all of the members of the Policy Committee which has conducted negotiations over the wage contract left town early in order to reach Harris- burg before the Monday session.

The proviso dealt with the necessity which exists for keeping pump men, engineers and some underground workers on duty continually in the anthracite region, lest the mines dood and cave in to an extent that might mean their permanent ruin. The employers and the union have left the agreement unsettled so far. Mr. Lewis' second document was copy of a reply sent him to the Syracuse, N.
