SNARL, SAYS DEPEW
Thrift and Production An
suOer to Unrest, He Says.

Chauncey NJ Depew expressed serious
concern over the Industrial situation in
his sixth annual address at Briarcliff
Lodge, Briarcliff. N. Y, to the members
OF All Saints Episcopal Church last
night. He reviewed the events of the
twelve months from July 1, 1918, to last
July /, and asserted that 1t had been the
greatest year of all history. He said
he was glad TO have been alive in such
portentous days. His apprehension for
the future was chiefly over the indus
trial unrest.
Our industrial problem has got to be
settled by thrift and production" he
said There has got to be some process
by which labor and capital will under
stand each other better than ever before.
The solving of this new problem will re-
quire our best and NEST careful thought
1T is the duty of every one to take
part IN production to help in restoring
the prosperity of the country. The worst
blow that could be struck production
is the six hour day. For economy we
should make State and national budgets
and we should authorize only those APP
preparations which are actually neces-
sary. Our greatest efforts at this time
should be toward steadying the nation by
thrift and by applying ourselves ener-
getically to production. There is danger
in any other course"
