THE BEST PRESCRIPTION
"GOOD OLD WORD—WORK"
(Received Oth December, 1 p.m.)
WASHINGTON, sth December. Addressing a business conference called at his request by the United States Chamber of Commerce, President Hoover suggested work as the best prescription for the country's economic ills, both real and imagined. The president predicted greater construction for 1930 than the present year, reviewed the start made through the series of White House conferences, and declared that these had removed the fear of unemployment from the Ameri-
can home. He said that employers' promises not to cut wages, and LaDour leaders not to start wage conflicts, "not only assure the consuming power of the country, but remove fear from millions of homes." "I have no desire to preach," he added. "I may, however, mention one good old word work."
