Cleveland industrialist andbanker, said tk»t toav°ld e*j tinction,” capitalists will have to jnake immed ate and radical changes in oiir attitude toward labor and our meth ods of dealing with labor.” In an article, “A Capitalist Looks at Labor” published in the current issue of the University of Chicago Law Re view, he discussed labor legislation, saying: “Let ho business man be naive enough to believe . . . that restrictive legislation will be any m°re elective in bringing about industrial harmony than the Volstead Act was in discouraging drinking.” Mr Eaton, who has broad interests in the iron ore, steel, coal, and railroad industries, asserted that “capitalism' can not survive without the Support of labor.” He added: “The casualness with which we capitalist seem willing— nay even eager—to invite the collapse of our economic system is almost $very industrial dispute for the sole pur pose of thwarting labor is utterly incomprehensible. I^ibor not only produces the goods and consumes a large part of them; labor also has the votes. . . . “Eventually (labor) unity is practically a foregone con clusion. The prospect of labor united should lie sobering to even the most embittered and embattled capitalist. “I also believe we may ultimately see a strong alliance between labor and the farmer, accompanied by a tremen dous expansion of the manufacturing and selling co-opera tives. The effecting of such a formidable combination awaits only the magic touch of some dynamic personality. “Then, if capitalism has not already gone by the board, its continued existence 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 restraint” during the soft coal controversy last fall, and accused the mine owners of working “under cover . . . feverishly, night and day, to keep a torrent of abuse turned on the miners and their leaders, through every channel of publicity, and to urge all three branches of government—executive, legis lative, and judicial—to crack down on labor.’*,. "Throughout the entire time,” he added, “John L. Lewis never uttered a syllable of complaint and never issued a 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.” AFL CONDEMNS RENT GOUGING BILL The American Federation of Labor condemned the Sen ate-Houae conference report on the rent control bill as a dangerous proposal under which millions of American fam ilies will be gouged by raised rents or faced with eviction. The Housing Committee issued the following statement on the House-Senate agreement: “Senate-House conferees have agreed on a draft of the infamous 'rent control* bill which will now’ be referred to both houses for final action. The public should realize that the adoption of this measure will prove the end of effective rent control, a widespread increase in rents and wholesale evictions of those unable to pay higher rent. For the ostensible purpose of continuing Federal rent controls through February 29. 1948, the bill wipes out any effective rent and eviction controls and destroys the last vestiges of the veterans’ emergency housing program. “As approved by the* conferees, the bill contains the 15 per cent ‘voluntary* rent increase allowance provided that a new lease extending through December 31, 1948, is signed. This will permit landlords throughout the country to force 15 per cent across the board rent hikes of the sixteen mil lion families who have relied on real rent control. No I controls whatever remain on newly-rented or newly-built Housing. Moreover, rent control exemption is granted any owner of rental accommodations who makes even a nfinor conversion in the unit. “Eviction control is placed in the hands of the States, and the Slate laws will determine the length of notice required. Most State laws now require a 30-day notice only, whereas the federal controls have provided for a six month notice. Further relaxation of eviction controls are Included in the measures of the bill. “The bill also calls for the creation of local rent boards to recommend area-wide rent boosts or complete decontrol. Their recommendations will go into effect automatically unless the Rent Control Administrator (the Federal Hous ing Expediter) vetoes it within 30 days. “Written into the bill is the repeal of the few remain ing controls under the veterans’ emergency housing acv which has served to channel building materials into the construction of new homes. Effective June 30 of this year is the repeal of all controls over commercial construction, except for recreational and amusement facilities. With the billions of dollars of pent-up demand for commercial building and the lack of any controls on residential con struction, we are bound to have less and less home con struction. "The conference agreement repudiating all effective rent control is a grade threat to the economic stability of the nation. Unless Congress rejects this dangerous proposal or the President vetoes it, millions of American families will be gouged by raised rents or faced with eviction.’* t Central Labor Union Motes The regular weekly meeting of Charlotte Central Labor Union was called to order by Vice Presi dent J. A. Scoggins dee to the ab sence of Preaident Sterling Hicks.
