The entrance o businessmen into public affairs was urged as one of the steps necessary to their disentangle- ment by Grosvenor Dawe, one of the organizers of the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States and a not- ed writer and lecturer, who talked at a membership meeting of the Cham- ber of Commerce last night. The meeting was scheduled for the | Grammar school hall, but there had been some misunderstanding as to the engagement of the hall and the jani- tor had not been notified. When the janitor could not be found, adjourn- ment was made to the Chamber of Commerce rooms, where Mr. Dawe spoke extemperaneously on “Team Work Between Government and Bus- iness. What it Would Mean to Our Country.” Having a great faith in laws he said, | we have tried to correct everything by legislation and we have tried to correct the evils in society by legisla- ting against business. Ofjthe 32,000 bills presented at the last congress, only four hundred became bills, and it was only natural that many of these should be ill advised. *“You only need to look at your present state legisla- ture to realize how much ill advised legislation is attempted,” he said. Big Enterprise Necessary. Probably the majority of the laws passed in the last twenty years, he said, have been directed against bus- iness. The farmer may combine (o raise prices, the laborer may combine, but business must not even look squint eyed at combination. “The old artisan idea,” said the speaker, “has gone and will never re- turn because we are too inventive. The big businesses that have devel- oped in the United States have been due to development on a big scale. Nothing but big enterprises would do for the United States. B “The huge vision of such a man as Huntington, who dared to see a rail- road stretching across the continent, is responsible for the San Francisco exposition. Big Business Never Free, “The tendency has been to call things bad because they are big, whereas big business has never been free. Big business has a tremendous overhead charge which it cannot es- cape, while the little business can con- tract in times of financial depres- sion. It is just as true now as be- fore that the man who chooses to concentrate on one thing and make it the best, can succeed in the United States. “The Sherman anti-trust law was supposed to have a restraining influ- ence upon combination, With it has come a denunciation of business as a political isste, Inquisitorial Board, ““The Clayton omnibus bill autaor- izes five men in Washington to carry on an inquisitorial investigation of any business in the TUnited States. The federal trade commission has to say whether interlocking is going to interfere with free competition. . It has got the power to say to any cor- poration: ‘Report to us any business you have done during the year, re- port your customers, etec.”” Other instances were given by Mr. Dawe to show how far legislation has gone in the control of business. The defect of all this, he said, is that we are producing a state of mind nationally where we believe there are diverse interests, whereas if we are clear mentally, we will see that a nation cannot exist in which there are diverse interests, Farmer Flattered, He Says, “Labor, agriculture and commerce form a national trinity without which there ¢an be no progress. They form the bases of national strength. “The farmer, he explained, has been fed with flattery. He has been informed that without him the rest of us could not work. But to in. form him that he is the most im-< portant element of society is wrong. “On the other hand, to say to the laborer that he makes all wealth is not to use discrimination. With the aid of capital, he does that which is much more magical than the farmer. To sef either up with a false sense of 'his importance and then to array the demagogues against business is not fair, By pulling together we can move this country forward, Strain of Immigration. “How many of the people of New Britain have come here from abroad? A large number. Since 1820 more than twenty million foreigners have come to these shores, and New Eng- land is more than fifty per cent, for- eign. When you realize the strain placed on the social fabric of our country by those who have not had the motive of the first comers, yvou will realize that we can only survive that strain provided each division shows sympathy with the other. “I must be interested in my fellow. man, Every blessed onec of us must show sympathetic interest in Tim. This is the new gospe!l. Breaking down the barrier of language is one bf the great things being done in New Britain. The greater thought is that we who have vision shall live outside of ourselves, shall live so as to teach the others and lead them to an under- standing of what we are siriving for. Our Return to Society. “Here is the real reason for getting out into socie ing our influcnce. No how smart a man may be, unless there is community call for what he has to serve or to sell, he fails, It is society which gives us our success and our attitude toward society must be on of return and not only one of take." and The Chief Advantage of AW/ O Boilers over other boilers is that they ~eat the houses they are rated to “next larger size.’ heat; i you don’t have to get the A fact worth noting. These Boilers give more heat per pound of coal than others and cost less in repairs. They are simplicity itself in operation, are guaranteed for zero weather efficiency and save fuel and labor. There are no packed joints, sheet iron parts or brick linings in these Boilers, and the «“Heat Ribs” cast on the in- teriors are found in no others. They aré a gilt edge invest- ment for those who want heat and plenty of it at the mini- mum of expense and care. FOR SALE BY J. 0. MILLS & CO. NEW BRITAIN AGEN{S. POOR FUND SHORT, CLEARY DISAPPEARS Accsunts of Haverstraw Clerk, Freed in Newman Murder, Tangled. Albany,sN. Y., April 8.—Accounts of the town of Haverstraw, N. Y., in relation to funds handled by William V. Cleary, the former town clerk, who recently was acquitted of the charges of murdering his son-in-law, Eugene M. Newman, are badly tangled, ac- cording to a report made public at ‘the state comptroller’s office last night. Cleary is said to have disappeared. Investigators working under Comp- troller Travis told him yesterday that much of the poor fund, which was dispensed partly by Cleary, could not be accounted for. Many books, records and checkbooks which would aid in strainghtening out the financial affairs of the town have disappeared, it is reported. Sign Waivers of Immunity. Johiah, Felter, a supervisor, and ‘Warren Basley, an overseer poor, both of whom ‘worked with Cleary, signed waivers of immunity prior to testifying before the comp- troller’s inquisitors. Examination of Cleary’s accounts at the National Bank of Haverstraw showed that he deposited $7,164 in 1912 and $10,162 in 1913. His salary in fees as town clerk during this time was about $600 a year. Court Action Probable. What shortage exists, or what money if any, has been misapplied has not beén determined by the comp- troller. A statement given out at the comptroller’s ‘office said court actioh of the might follow. According to both Felter and Bass ley, Cleary relieved them of most ol'l the burden of keeping the books and ! records of expenditures for the poor. Felfer, who acted as treasurer torl the town board and was present when Newman was shot, testified that he turned over to Cleary all money to be used for maintenance of the poor. Cleary rendered claims, he continued, but no record of them ever was kept. I Felter said he had kept stubs in his | check books showing payment of some town moneyes, but his wife burned them. Paid Cleary $5,080. Felter testified that he gave Basley between $6,000 and $7,000 yearly to support the poor, but records were RELIABLE DRUG STORE SERVICE, introduced to show the cost was only about $2,200. 1In 1913, it was shown, Felter paid Cleary $5,080. Basley was overseer of the poor from 1910 to 1913, while Cleary was clerk. It was Basley's custom, he said, to sign blank checks and permit Cleary to draw poor moneys as he desired. According to Basley’s tes- timony and available records, about $9,000 more was drawn from this fund from 1910 to 1913 than was spent for the aid of the needy. In many cases Basley’s books showed one amount paid out, his report to the country superintendent another and his bank account a third. Basley could not explain these discrepancies.
