Nation's Need: Cooperation
A real need for a labor bill not afflicted with
anemia, and the urgent necessity for cooperation in the
labor-management-capital picture in the United States,
were voiced with underscoring emphasis by President
Eisenhower at a recent press conference.
The President was queried on whether he thought
the Congress should go home this year without passing
"a real labor reform bill."
"I most certainly do not," Mr. Eisenhower replied.
He continued:
"You know, I am disturbed by what seems to be be-coming
habit in this country to adopt certain theories
that Marx advanced."
One of these, he said, is that "a bitter and implac-able
warfare" between the man who works and the man
who hires him is inevitable.
"To my mind, this is absolutely and completely un-
American," the President said. "It is not the way a free
country must work.
"Every last workman, down to the lowliest, the
most Menial task you can think of, is just as important
as any manager or any capitalist that invests in a com-pany.
-
"We have got to talk about cooperation—how do
labor and management and capital cooperate to produce
the wealth that this country needs. That is what we mean
by an expanding economy." •
The labor reform legislation, Mr. Eisenhower told
the press corps and the nation, is aimed at protecting
the man who works with his hands to help create the
nation's wealth.
• "This is not any kind of punitive law," he pointed
out, adding that "Senator McClellan himself put in a
bill of rights."
This "workingman's bill of rights" had the Presi-dent's
support, and he said he was sorry to see it water-ed
down, as it was designed to protect the laborer from.
racketeering practices — practices on the part of a few
men in the labor field.
Mr. Eisenhower said: "I would certainly like to
see American thinking to be directed toward 177 mil-libri
people that are trying to get ahead, and not with
some internecine warfare that is useless and futile and
destructive."
