GRANDFATHER STILL ALIVE
Daughter of John D. Rockefeller
Gives Out an Interesting Bit
of Information.

chicago, Aug. 12.-Mrs. Harold A.
Mccormick the daughter of John d.
Rockefeller. yesterday defended her
father against the oil kings youngest
brother. Frank Rockefeller.
Jealousy" she said, brought about
by my uncle's signal lack of business
ability. is the cause of the vituperation
he has heaped upon my father.
My father holds no malice against
him. It may not be consistent with
the usual picture drawn of my father
but he holds malice against no man.
= MY uncle's failure to profit by the
fortune of my father, and his repeated
failures in business have been worm
wood and gall to him. The bitterness
has grown from year to year. 1t has
taken for its objective point the broth
er who has prospered.
Mrs Mccormick says ii is true that
her grandfather is alive.
Between my father and grandfather
there. always existed the respect and
love that should exist between father
and son. My grandfather watched with
the keenest interest the success of his
SON.
Mrs. Mccormick said that her grand
fathers health was responsible in a
large degree for his being out of range
of the public eye.

MEET
At HOT SPRINGS
Fifty-Third Session of Interna-
= tionaI Typographical Union
Opened Yesterday.
MANY DELEGATES PRESENT
REPORTS OF THE PRESIDENT
AND SECRETARY.

Hot Springs, Ark. Aug. 12-The fifty
third convention of the International Ty-
biographical union was called TO order this
morning in the spacious dining room of
the Eastman hotel. which has been tenn
porarily converted into a convention hall
Addresses of welcome were made by the
mayor of the city. the officers Of the 10
cal union and others, and were responded
to by President James NJ. Lynch. The
reports of officers were then presented to
the convention. About 100 delegates and
visitors are in attendance.
The report of President Lynch is com
prehensiyc document. and covers the
progress made by the international Typo
graphical union for the period elapslnS
since the Colorado Springs convention,
and also outlines new policies and touches
upon those that have become a part OF
the work and history of the organization
Among other things an aggressive cam
paign for the union label is recommended,
and il is quite likely that this subject
will occupy considerable of the cOnVen-
tons time. The campaign for an eight
hour day, which has been vigorously pros
ecuted by the International Typographical
union for nearly two years. is touched up
on extensively and it is shown that this
movement has been attended with very
large degree of success, about 5000 mem
bers of the union now working not more
than eight hours per day.
