Too Much Talking
And Not Enough
Action, Says insult

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE greatest
drag on readjustment of business just
now is toe much talking and not
enough working, Samuel insult Of
Chicago told delegates to the Ameri-
can Gas association here today. Mr..
insult, who started life. Is stenogra-
pher for Thomas A. Edison ard to@av
is head of the gas Ind electric utility
companies serving Chicago, rlulcuIou
attempting to "legislate good times"
He declared that if the hands Of
the utility industry alone were united
and Quibbling stopped, new Develop
ment and new construction work
needed by the nation would go far
toward ending the unemployment
situation. He urged that the nation
be encouraged to become a az Of
MASTERS and spenders and declared
.4.al IN vesr4lent makes good citizens.
He pointed to the great army of men
and ome who now public
utility securities, and declared they
had already solved the question O.
pubic ownership Of utilities and con-
stituted real public ownership.
Mr.. insult said:
Everyone is giving advice to his
fellows as to what courses they should
pursue in order to make things come
out all right-plentiful advice-but
the advisers are not working with
their hands and minds to do the thing
themselves. When we try to substi-
tute laws and ordinances and theories
for old fashioned business initiative
and enterprise, operating in conform
ity with economic law, that moment
we stop going forward and STAR
slipping. But it does not seem that
we are wedded-or too many OF T..
are-to enthusiasm for telling the
other fellow how to run his business
and for putting obstacles in the way
Of his doing things the way experience
has taught him they must be done.

and I know that the utility industry
alone needs enough development and
new construction york to go far to-
ward. obliterating the unemployment
situation. If the industry's hands were
united. But instead of being en-
couraged, or even permitted to go
ahead and speed up, the industry is
hampered by quibbling yer rates and
otherwise, so that enlistment Of re-
CURED capital is hindered and time,
attention and energy are diverted
from what should be the main task.
"One of our greatest troubles is the
shittless habit we have fallen into.
some laws passed which we seem to
believe will Immediately remedy
things, without any exertion upon our
part.
"A gas company has no control over
the prices 1t mus pay for coal, oil.
labor or the many other commodities
that enter into the manufacture of its
product. 1t is monopolistc as to its
