Merchant Prince Sees Improvement In
Relations of Capital and Labor.
Philadelphia.-eIt's an insane thing
not to recognize organizations of la
bor," said John Wanamaker today, in
giving further testimony before the
United States commission on indus
trial relations. He made this state
ment in reply to a question whether
employers should recognize labor un-
ions.
On the general question of unionism,
Mr.. Wanamaker said he believed labor
had suffered frightfully" in the past
because of poor leaders, but added
that he is seeing a better class of
leaders coming in.
Commissioner Weinstock of Cali
fornia, who presided, asked the wit
ness if he could supply the missing
link that would bring capital and Ia
Dor together. Mr.. Wanamaker said:
81 believe that labor and capital
have the right to organize. On the
one side, capital there is responsible
ity and on the other, labor, there is
none. There you stop. The missing
links / believe to be prejudice and
misunderstanding which must be over.
come.
Zone of the ways to wipe out this
prejudice and misunderstanding is to
unhitch labor unions from political
parties"
Speaking of capital, Mr.. Wanamaker
said John D. Rockefeller Jr. made a
great mistake when he put President
Wilson in the position of sending
troops into Colorado"
II might be mistaken in this" he
said, "but that is the way l feel about
it."
