NATION HAS COME TO,
!. SECRETARY DAVIS SAYS
Business Getting Back to
Sound Basis, Says Depart
ment of Labor Head.

Elwood, Ind, Oct. 13.--Sscretary OF
I.abor Davis declared In n speech here
yesterday that the country had come
TO" after an Industrial depression and
soon would be filled again with the
old electric energy" Mr.. Davis spoke
at n Homecoming week gathering In
this city. where he was formerly tin
mill laborer and later City Clerk.
Before long / believe we are going
&c look back on tho last twelve months
with wonder" Secretary Davis said.
While we have had record de-
preston In that time. we are really
accomplishing marvellous work Get
ting American business back from a
war boom to a sound basis was ono of
the most complicated and dangerous
situations our leading men In business
and I'm industry have ever had TO face.
Now the Job is being accomplished.
The buyers strike was running on
beyond tho stopping place. Now the
statisticians in the Department OF
Labor can point TO solid fgUres which
show increases in buying and de-
oreases in unemployment. Buying has
begun again.
This much business has done of its
own accord. out of It's own inherited
strength. But there are things to
come that will stimulate this improve
ment. When the governments wholly
proper funding OF $500. 100000 to the
railroads is provided for, strong fllln
will be given to the railroads them
selves.
Unemployment remains one serious
cloud on the dawn. In time revivine
business would itself take care OF the
problem of unemployment, but We
want business to revive slowly and
soundly, and we do not want men e
remain idle. Something practicabl,
and immediate must be done 20 sec
that no great number OF American
1 laborers shall feel the pinch of wan
end distress this Winter. While W,
have had unemployment in the past
the problem has never been tackled S,
vigorously and with so scientific or
sanitation as II Is being tackled now
Everybody has aroused to tn.
danger. Now the prospect is that n,
enc who needs and wants to work mus
20 through the Winter without mean
OF livelihood. All that is needed nov
is courage and the confidence tina
springs from II. We are unmistak
ably on the move back to prosperity
Within a year or two. believe, W
are going to be the most prosperou
people we have been In all our wonder
