PROGRAM FOR COOPERATION
 BETWEEN CAPITAL AND LA5CR

Boston, March 14.-A programme for cooperation between capital and labor designed to bring abpuT "a just settlement Jf industrial strife, WAS outlined today by Charles W. Eliot president (eIneritus) of Harvard Uni versity, at a legislative h%lrinS on q bill for the appointment Of a sIAcial commission to study the hours sf h. bor in Massachusetts industries. lie favored the bill. chiefly. he satd, be cause. 1 believe it to be inexpedient, not to say absurd. to attempt 10 fix by law the same number ct hours for all industries without regard to their infinite Iiversities, or foc all ostab- lishments in the same industry As a final basis for his programme Dr. Eliot proposed:
 General adoption of q genuine partnership system between the capi-
 tal and the labor engaged in any given works or plant, whereby the re-
 turns to capital and labor alil.e after the wages gre paid shall vary with the profits of the establishment the per centage of the profit going to payroll being always much larger than thai going to shareholders or owners and payroll never being called on tC make good loss.
 He advocated universal adoption o1 cooperative management and Gisci- i piine increased welfare provisions 1 for employees; abandonment of "the 1 conception that capital is tNe natura i eenmy of labor anl that unorga n:1eo , laborers gre traitors 10 their class
 and of the idea that t is desirable fol workers of any sort to work as few
 hours in a day as '.nssib1e': anu "ab-
 sclute rejection of the nation thu
 leisure rather than steady work shoull 1 be the main object of life"
