/ CHICAGO, June 14.-Cyrus Eaton,
| Cleveland industrialist and banker.
said today that "to avoid extinction"
capitalists will "have to make i'm
mediate and radical changes In our
attitude toward labor and our
methods of dealing with labor"
1--WE will have to begin by muzzl-
ing such organizations as the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
and by recognizing. and sincerely
regretting, that there is bad feeling
on both Sides" he said.
In an article, "A Capitalist Looks
at Labor" published in the current
issue of the University of Chicago
Law Review, he discussed labor legis-
lation, saying:
Let no business man be naive
enough to believe that restrictive
legislation will be any more effective
in bringing about industrial har-
mony than the Volstead Act was In
discouraging drinking"
Labor's Support Needed.
MIR. EnLOu, WHO has UlO hi1ci CoCo
in the iron ore, steel, coal and rail-
road industries, asserted that "capi-
talism cannot survive without the
support of labor" He added:
THE casualness with which We
capitalists seem willing-nay even
eager-to invite the collapse OF our
economic system in almost every in
dustrial dispute for the sole purpose
of tnwarting labor is utterly incon-
prehensible. Labor not only pro-
duces the goods and consumes a
large part of them; labor also has
the votes.
Eventual Qabor) unity Is prac-
tically a foregone conclusion The
prospect. of labor united should be
sobering to even the most embittered
and embattled capitalist.
Sees Alliance With Farmer.
"I also believe we may ultimately
see a strong alliance between labor
and the farmer, accompanied by a
tremendous expansion of the manu-

added, John L. Lewis never ut
tered syllable of complaint and
never issued q statement criticizing
anybody"
Mr.. Eaton said the Supreme
Court decision against the miners
will be productive Of untold evil In
the whole field of labor relations"
In an article In the same publi-
cation, Senator Morse. Republican,
of Oregon, said the American people
were expecting entirely too much
of labor legislatio as a panacea for
industrial ills"
81 am afraid that too many, both
in and out of Congress, have misled
themselves into thinking that a
maximum of industrial freedom in
this country can be attained by
putting American labor in a
straight jacket" he added.

The edecting of such a formidable
combination awaits only the magic

Then, If capitalism has not al

tinued existance will be completely
at the mercy OF an estranged 95 per
cent of the electorate -
He credited John L. Lewis, head
of the United Mine Workers Union,
with exercising wisdom and re-

versy last fall, and accused the mine

This survey is called THE Ma
tional Negro Market" The an
nual income Of Is million Ne
groes IS ten billion dollars.
That's some money believe
me. 1t is billion dollars more
than the total income of the
people of Canada.
OccUPATIONAL STATUS
In cities that were SURVEYED
and a ross session was taken
the occupation Of the chief wage
Garner was given. This. of course
gave an idea through what
chan Is OF work Negroes were
able to amass ten billion dol
lars. Negroes were employed in
the following occupations.
laborers, service, semi skilled.
skilled, firemen. foremen. pro-
fessional, armed forces. clerks.
and kindred workers. managers
and officials. students and serv-
ants. These are the workers who
work.
mOOl lhONlCA1s
When one looks into the spend
ing Of this money. and realizes
that much OF it spent annually
in places where Negroes cannot
work, IL points up the serious
lack Of organization and plan
ming among Negroes generally.
Approximately three billion dol
lars Is spent for food. Too many
places which make or handle
food do not use Negroes or on
ly use them in too mental ca
pacities. The same thing holds
true with clothing. household
furniture, fuel, alcohol. cosmet-
les, drugs, tobacco, insurance
companies and automobiles
A special note must be said
about granting franchise TO Ne
groes to sell automobiles. Auto
manufacturers have not been in
clined 10 do this sort OF thing.
To our knowledge there are only
two Negroes in the ". S. who
have such franchises. Both these
persons are located in Detroit:

ABOUT THE COMMON MAN
o D \ X D n o b

One Of the attacks on labor that makes me
angrest IS the suggestion that labor leaders are in
the movement only for what they can get out of
This charge is usually made by people who
are IN business for profit only and to Get the most
they can for themselves. They seem to think il
terrible for labor leaders to have the same attitude
There are, Of course some union leaders of
that kind but they don't last long as unionists
Management quickly offers them much more than
the unions possibly afford and the money
hungry leader becomes an ex-laborte, like Dick
Frankensteen
The great majority OF labor leaders are
Woodworking and compared 10 businessmen,
extremely idealishc.

den and unexpected passing Of Sciplo Garner. one

Well be called martyrs Of the labor movement
SURE OF GREED
Yet the average editorshSt in the daily news
papers. the average businessman and even the
ordinary rank and filler in the unions. is sure that
labor leaders are motivated only by selfshness
and greed.
They ought to make study Of the home life
