Sees GOOD BUSINESS TIMES COMING

promises in their periods of stress and
they haven't confidence in their lead
ers. In Seattle, too it was a case of
nerves because of lack OF confidence
in the government and the adjust
ments made by the government bu-
reauS.
The labor union is 4 protest against
conditions under which labor was com
PEELED to exist in the past, but the
manufacturer who puts his capital into
/ jeopardy is entitled to d just return
on it and when labor says he is not
labor becomes more autocratic than
the czar of Russia ever dared to be.
But there is a difference between
profit and profteering. America is
sound and the business man, the
workingnlau and the statesman will
get together on u sound basis SO that
nought will come from the attempt of
some Bolshevist with power of tongue
and personality to say that everything
| is rotten.
Mr.. Jones disclained any attempt to
! talk politics but said he was only
talking business when he said give US
| public utilities run by business men
| instead of bunch of men just thrown
| into the breach. (Applause.) It is d
mistake that business men should be
! dictated to by a man named kitchin
| from the south who knows nothing
about big business problems.
We want an American business ad-
| nlinistration and then we won't ask
whether its name is democratic or re-
publican. American business men,
| Norwich business men, must be con-
cerned with legislation if you are to
have successful business. We need an
extra session of congress, for American
business is waiting for it.
Mr.. Jones made the closing predic-
ton that business and labor are to get
together as, brothers to discuss their
problems and out of the war are to
grow greater confidence and love for
each other. There is to be bigger
business than ever for America, with
more men enjoying the fruits Of that
prosperity, for we shall get together
on the basis of a true Americanism.
Confidence is to be the keynote tc
prosperity and with that assured we
shall be assured of q period of pros
perity that shall not be limited to five
or ten or fifteen years, but shall abso-
lutely dissipate the possibility of fu-
ture panics as long as the world re
mains free from war.
Three rousing cheers and q rising
/ vote of thanks for the speaker wa;
given as he concluded his optimistic
) outlook upon American business con
ditions.
