DEPRESSIN BEST
EYER HAPPENED
We Must Now Build New Industrial
Fabric on Basis of Economy,
Says Schwab.

l., South Bend, Ind, June IA new in
dustrial fabric built on basis of econ
omy, is used by Charles NJ. Schwab.
Speaking last night at dinner Civ
en- by South Bend citizens in honor OF
Albert E. Erskine, president of the
studebaker corporation, he said:
The industrial depression is the
best thing that ever happened in the
United States, ending as it did, ten
years period of growing costs and un-
economical operation. We must now
build new industrial fabric on a basis
of economy. make the prediction
that unless we American manufactur-
ers take our position on the lines I
have outlined, Germany will reap the
benefits of the late war because Ger.
many is organized industrially as new
er before and German workmen are
willing to give full days work for
days pay
Capital and labor must work hand
in hand in this country. and is work
ing hand in hand as never before. And
the result viii be industrial success"

Insurance Companies to
Do Away Through Their
Association and Rating
Bodies With Certain
Practices Which Do
Not Require Legislative
Action

New York, June THE Lockwood
legislative committee to-day suspended
investigation into fire insurance COM
panies after Samuel Untermyer, com-
mittee council, announced that 43 lead
ing companies had agreed to certain
recommendations for legislation that
would eradicate Objectionable practices.
These recommendations, he said,
would be made at a special session of
the legislature if Governor Miller
would assemble the lawmakers for
the purpose. Otherwise they would be
made at the next regular session. Mr..
Untermyer added that the insurance
companies had agreed to do away
through their associations and rating
bodies, with certain practices which
would not require legislative action to
abolish.
Phases of the fire insurance business
in the United States had so many
ramitications, Mr. Untermyer said,
that the committee would be unable
TO make a. complete investigation and
would recommend complete and fear
less inquiry in some manner that the
legislature might determine Both tn
committee and the fire insurance com
panies desired that this be done, he
added.
