The fight to keep this feature out of
the revenue bill may result in the de-

That will make it necessary for the

Manufacturers Ask
Unity of Action by
Capital and Labor
S. c. Mason Says Patriotic
Spirit of War Time Must
Be Continued

Stephen c. Mason: president of the
National Manufacturers Association,
yesterday declared that during the war
spirit of cooperation had developed
between employers and employees. and
that this patriotic unity must be main
tanned to solve the problems arising
after the war.
The association. he said, believed that
domination by labor would be as bad
for the nation as domination by capital.
Responsibility Is Joint
"Tne Manufacturers Association
stands firmly for the spirit of pa
triotic industrial cooperation in the
working ont of reconstruction prob
lens" he said. "In time of our
national emergency. during the
there was born in our American indus
trial relations the general realization
that joint action by employers and
wage earDers was 4 patriotic duty and
privilege. This realization of joint re-
sponsibiity we believe ought to be the
ruling factor in meeting the problems
Of peace as well as war.
"In America to-day we hold the pow
crful influence of providing examples
for the rest of the world, Confusion
and inequities which have developed in
our American industries during the
hustle and hustle Of waging war on
q modern scale should be and will be
eliminated in good time. We must lend
our every effort TO avoid bitterness,
acrmony, calamity, bowling and whin-
ing Nothing is to be gained through
cultivation or promotion of misunder-
standings. We must be mindful of
public tension in approaching and
working out our common problems of
industrial readjustment
Fair Deal Is Favored
"No manufacturers has or seeks to
exercise any right or privilege which
any other good American is asked to
surrender. In readj, ,sting our indus
tries to new and proper basis for the
work of reconstruction and peace. no
part of our industrial forces is ex-
pected or asked to give up "advantages"
to winch it is properly or legitimately
entitled.
"N-e believe that absolutism on the
part of labor is ust as bad for the
general welfare Of the nation as abso-
lutism of capital. Both elements ought
to be able to find d common and equit-
able basis on which properly to meet
every present and future need In this
effort to reach and maintain q common
ground, our industrial factors need and
expect constructive, legitimate and i'm
partial encouragement from the gov
ernment and healthy, well-inforlncd
public opinion"
