Between Capital and Labor?
Ray Stannard Baker Thinks There Is.
Read His First Story in The Bee
Sunday.
n UNDAY The Bee will print the first of series of
- tices by Ray Stannard Baker, who is generally
~ known as the best reporter in America. They will
deal with labor and capital.
Mr. Baker now visiting the leading industrial
tiers of the United States for the New York Evening Post
and The Bee. Two significant paragraphs in his first
article are:
eve are facing dangerous days in America; in
many ways the most dangerous in our history tend
ency exists among great numbers of people to take
violent sides upon the chief problem confronting us
the relationship of capital and abor-without clear
understanding of what that problem really means
what such division portends
ut is true that class feeling has been growing in
America for years. No honest observer have
failed to see it. The sinister aspect of recent de-
velopments lies in and powerful drift toward
ac and helpless acceptance of the idea of inevitable
'head-on collision"
In writing this series of articles Mr.. Bakers aim
will be to be absolutely impartial to either labor capt.
tai and to to show way out by presenting the facts
and issues after study of actual conditions rst-hand
While The Bee may not agree with all Mr.. Baker
writes it recognizes his ability of the very best
newspaper writers of the present day and will print his
articles news but to be taken in the ed
toral opinion Of this paper.
