MINOR" BUSINESS
TO HEAR GOVERNOR
Roosevelt Scheduled for First
General Conference in New
York August 1918.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 25.-Gov. Franklin
D. Roosevelt will address the first gen.
eral conference of minor business
leaders ever to be held in the United
States at conference of smaller indus
tries at Silver Bay, N. Y, August 1913.
Other speakers include Charles Nagel
of st. Louis, former Secretary of Com
merce and Labor, and Gilbert T.
Hodges, president of the Advertising
Federation of America.
Smaller industries is perhaps mis-
nomer," said Harold F. Browne OF the
National Industrial Conference Board
and chairman of the committee organic
ing the little plants meeting, since
the plants that the conference will
represent comprise 98.6 per cent OF all
American industries.
Each enterprise is small, compare
lively speaking, as is shown by the fact
that but IA per cent of the country's
plants employ 38 per cent of industrial
wage earnerS. But the former turn out
half our production.
There are 1852 manufacturing
plants in the United States that nor
mally employ 500 or fewer persons, as
compared to 2,747 that employ more
than 500.
1T is abvious that the smaller plants
are really the backbone of the Ameri-
can industrial system and that any plan
for preventing a recurrence of another
devastating depression will be ineffec-
tive unless the smaller plants col
laborate."
Among other speakers is H. w. Grady,
American mining engineer, recently
expelled from Russia by order OF the
Soviet.
