When the trials for the American

The arguments in favor of fencing

BUSINESS IMPEDED
BY TOO MUCH TALK,
GAS DELEGATES TOLD
CRy Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE greatest
drag on readjustment of business just
now is too much talking and not
enough working. Samuel insult of Chi
cago told delegates to the American
Gas association here today. Mr.. In
sull who started life as stenographer
for Thomas A. Edison and today is
head of the gas and electric utility
companies serving Chicago, ridiculed
attempting to '1egislate good times"
He declared that if the hands of the
utility industry, alone, were united
and quibling stopped, new develop
ment and new construction work
needed by the nation would go far to-
ward ending the unemployment situa-
ton. He urged that the nation be en-
couraged to become a race of savers
and investors, rather than of MASTERS
and spendors and declared that invest
ment makes good citizens. He point
ed to the great army of men and wom-
en- who now own public utility secur-
tiles, and declared they had already
solved the question of public owner
ship of utilities and constituted real
public ownership.
Mr.. insult said Everyone is Civ
ing advice to his fellows as to what
courses they should pursue in order to
make things come out all right-plen-
tiful advice-but the advisers are not
working with their hands and minds
to do the thing themselves.
When we try to substitute laws and
ordinances and theories for old fash
toned business initiative and enter
prise, operating in conformity with
economic law, that moment we stop go
ing forward and start slipping. But
it does not seem that we are welded
or too many Of US are-to enthus-
iasm 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"
