CAPITAL-L LABOR

BY International News Service
BABSoN PARK, Mass, Sept. Is.
An actual merger between capital
and labor as a means of preventing
the spread of Communism in
America was advocated today by
DIR. A. A. Mitten, vice president of
Mitten management, of Philadel.
phia, in an address before the Bah.
son national annual business con-
ference.
Communism is the lurking en-
envy of every form of established
government" DR.. Mitten declared.
He added that while Communism
may be a bigger menace in other
countries at present. this country
has no right to feel that it will be
forever free from the danger of
such doctrine.
He cited the disturbed mind OF
the farmer as creating q dangerous
outlook and said the cure can
only come when the men and man
agement of the railroads are har-
messed In actual partnership for
economic operation OF the trans
portation facilities upon which the
farmer must depend.
