CAPITALIST DENIES
FRAMING POLICY
LabOr'S Plans Not Dictated
by Banks

New York, So. Up Bankers
and wall street capitalists" do not
control the labor policies of most
large corporations, contrary to gen
eral opinion, says Sam A. Lewisohn
chairman OF The American Manage
ment association. and e-president
fthe Miami Copper company.
Mr.. Lewisohn states in his book,
1.-THE New Leadership in Industry,
that the commcl practice is to leave
necessary decisions in this regard TO
local arrangements Of plants as long
as the business is run efficiently
Exaggerated" Ideas
"There is unquestionably great
deal of exaggeration on this Idea OF
capitalist unity OF action continues
the volume, published by buttons.
1.-THE people who entertain this
theory have a vision that Wall
Street makes decisions on all ques-
lions. The corollary is that If Wall
street should suddenly change its
veiws, the executives Of the plants in
the country at once would change
theirs. The notion makes it appear
that the obstacle TO better labor re-
lations is solely that Of small I'm
ancial oligarchy.
However, local production execu-
lives are the determining factors in
local management. II the financial
group is interested in anything. 1t is
profits, and there Is no surer way OF
disturbing profits than by disturbing
the existing managerial group who
are making these profits
Bank Keeping Hands Or
Mr.. Lewisohn illustrates his
statement with the situation OF a
banking group interested in both the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad and the
Union Pacific railroad.
The former, he writes. Is expert
menting In cooperation between I'M
ion committees and managers. while
the latter has refused to treat the
unions and uses employe representa-
tons.
"The surest evidence" he contin-
ues, that the attitude of the pro-
auction manager is all-important Is
this: II the group in financial control
or the major executives are more en-
ightened than the local executives,
they are apt to have a real uphlil
lob in winning over the lesser OIL
ncials to their way of thinking
Resident Managers
Concluding that decentralization

Lewisohn has devoted a large por-
ton of his book to an analysis OIL

ut Is from the resident manager
he states. that the entire atinos-
phere and spirit that exist at a plant
spring. He sounds the note for the
tohers to follow. If he is reactonary.
a liberal policy is impossible. Even
~ he has the will, but lacks courage
initiative or social ingenuity, a
policy of experimenting with newer
labor methods will not be carried
through"
