Jerome Davis, many times an af« bitator in industrial disputes told his audience at the Stetson Forurfl Tuesday that cooperation is esserk tial if the warfare between capitaf and labor is to find a lasting or 6> quitable solution. The strong arm methods whicl bring violence and destruction so' much in evidence, said Mr. Davis, are the result of the arbitrary independent and militia-backed atti- tude of the employers themselves^ Such policies, coupled with a non-. compromising refusal to consider the grievances of labor or to treat" with labor leaders sympathetically have led to a hostile and violent leadership of labor with its con-* sequent disorders and strikes. "In the nterests of all concerned,'* the speaker said, "there must bei organization, organization of employers, organization of labor, -and organization of the public that thej consumer will not have to pay in increased prices and inconvenience for the stubbornness of either capi-i tal or labor." Employers and employees musS learn to work together, to be will-* ing to concede that the other sid4 has some rights and that the well-* fare of both should be considered^.. the Stetson audience was toid; its a problem of cooperation and an<|. mutual consideration. "Most of the rights in industrial controversy," said Mr. Davis, "hav^.- in the past, rested with the em's ployer. To offset this disadvantage- it became necessary for the work* ers to organize. This gave th# the voice of collective labor rathe? than individual expression and madf" his voice audible to the employer. "But the labor leader who would rather fight than discuss problems" peaceably has injured his causf time and again." Only by mutual understanding will the real grievances be uncovered and remedied. And here, said Mr. Davis, the creation of the National Labor Relations Board has; been a progressive step. "The board has made mistakes/' said Mr. Davis, "but it has substituted justice and fairness for injustice and economic dogmatism ia" many instances." Consumer cooperatives vijrre suggested- by Mr. Davis as the weapon" by which organized consumers, might protect themselves from undue high prices brought about by industrial strikes and disturbances of production.
