CAPITAL-LAB0R UNION.
Chairman Hanna Speaks Hopefully
of the Results of the Lnte
Joint Conference

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Han
ma, chairman of the committee Of 80
appointed at the eapital-labor confer
ence in New York, was at the White
House, yesterday. and talked most
hopefully OF the results Of the con-
ference.
II consider the conference" said
he, "the greatest step ever taken for
the speedy settlement Of disputes
arising between LABOR and capital
The organization Of capital. which
has come to stay, was an evolution
which was naturally preceded by the
organization of labor, which has also
come TO stay, and the concentration
of interests Of the two sides into the
hands Of comparatively few indi-
yiduals will make for the best inter-
ests of both. The public must not
get the idea that we are TO reyolu-
tionize everything relating 10 ths
condition of labor and capital, or that
the joint committee is TO undertake
arbitration. We believe we can ac-
complish more by getting into closer
touch and contact with labor. The
first step will be to establish a rela.
tionship between the two interests
and this viii serve as a foundation
to work on. While we do not expect
that there viii be no strikes, they
will be minimized as a result Of the
conciliation and arbitration policy
Mr. Hanna said he expected tho
committee 10 meet during the winter
TO adopt bylaws and elaborate still
further the scheme of arbitration.
