E. H. Gary Says Magnates Now

CLEVELAND. Oct. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
relation to big business andyts value
as a preventive OF war-was the theme
today Of Chairman e. II. Gary, OF tho

Whether, in fact, any business man
of prominence ever used the expression,
"the public be id" a considerable

result that the whole business fraternity
suffered.
There has been a change In the past
decade, however. he said. many big
business heads making public oil suit

do so by law.
Due to this change, Gary said. there

supposed the wars would be much
longer continued?"
Citing the horrible conditions al

that at the close of the wars we may
