II was brought home to him. Mr.. Rookie
Teller said, that the improvements were
necessary and as the oil supply increased
new pipe lines were built. 1T was a big
undertaking and very interesting" said
Mr.. Rockefeller. ut was necessary to see
that there should be no waste OF oil and
no delays. wherever there was oil we
had men to take care Of II. Our conserva-
tive men felt that we should not go into
such expenditures, but our men in the field
came in and made pressing demands for
10000 barrels OF tankage. We gave 1t to
them. Millions Of barrels OF tankage were
built and through II we saved much oil
that would otherwise have been lost under
the old system. 1t was a Godsend to the
country that we moved boldly in the mat
ter"
Mr.. Rockefeller said thai all the pur-
chases TO which he referred we're made
by the Standard OIL company Of Ohio and
that the money was taken from It's treasury
instead Of being collected from the stock
holders. The stocks of other companies
which were members OF the Standard oil
company OF Ohio were held for It's stock
holders. He said that in 1879 this plan of
ownership was put in written form and
when he was shown the paper on the wit
ness stand today he identified It. It was
shown by this paper that Villas. Keith and
Chester we're also trustees for other stock
held for the benefit OF the Standards stock
holders. The capital stock Of the standard
OIL company Of Ohio at that time was
shown to be &3.5OO.O0
backs and Pooling.
Mr.. Rockefeller was shown a pooling
contract for the distribution of oil carrying
between different railroads, fixing rates on
refined and crude oil and containing q pro-
vision for drawbacks to refiners for
certain shipments to the seaboard. The wit
ness said the contract was drawn to put
the different refining points on a parallel.
THE effect of this agreement was that 1t
would cost the man in Cleveland no more
to ship refined oil to seaboard than a
shipment made from any other point. 1t
also assured refiners that the same rates
for shipment would be alike on all lines, /"
said MIR, Rockefeller.
He added that the contract further
showed that shippers of crude oil to sea-
board received % cents a barrel drawback,
II the pipage rates we're maintained as
agreed upon by the piping company. Mr..
Rockefeller said he had not been closely
familiar with the freight business for
nearly thirty years.
This agreement produced steadiness and
did away with the discrimination against
Cleveland, as Thomas Scott promised to
DO he declared.
John G.. Milburn, Rockefeller's counsel,
announced that Mr.. Rockefeller's direct
examination ended at this point and an
adjournment was taken until tomorrow,
when Frank B. Kellogg, the government
counsel. said the REORGANIZATION would
begin.

Report on Political Action.
The next section OF the presidents report
referred to the political action of Mr..
Gompers and the executive council during
the late presidential campaign, under the
caption, Legislation and Political Action"
The report describes the actions of the
PRESIDENT and executive council along this
line. The committee In its report endorsed
their actions. The committee quoted thres
sections from the report which It especially
commends. The first says;
The American labor movement is not
paltl'an to a political party; 1t Is partisan
to a p.inciple OF equal rights and human
The second quotation says:
Eour conventions have frequently declared
THAT our movement has neither the right
nor the desire to dictate how a member
shall cast his vote. II has been my priv
Hfge and honor always so to insist. l have
not departed and cannot now depart from
that true trade union course. At the hinS
apolis convention the following declaration
we must have with us in our economic
movement men Of all parties as well as OF
all creeds, and the minority right of the
hImblest man to vote where he pleases
epd to worship where his conscience die
tates must be sacredly guarded"
The committee, In its remarks on the
quotation. says,
We hold that this does not hold in the
case OF an executive officer while ne re-
mains as such, II he Is unable to agree
with this and must oppose, for con-
sctentious reasons, any. policy the commit
tee believes in. II IL his right and duty
TO resign his office.
shot Aimed at Keefe.
This recommendation was aimed directly
at Daniel j. Keefe. who as a member Of the
executive council came out in a public
statement In support OF william II. Taft
for president after the council had declared
for w. J. Bryan.
TIL third quotation is the words OF Mr..
Gompers on the political campaign. in
which he said:
II has beeneg my purpose to place befDre
You the entire matter in my participation
In the political campaign, Whatever conse-
quences II may entail. | submit II to you
for such judgment as you may deem best
TO render and such action as you may care
to take. / am deeply conscious OF this one
fact, that | have andeavored to give voice
10 the wrongs which labor has endured

wrongs. i have pressed home to the full
est the sufferings and the injustice done
my fellows. To the very limit OF what
ever ability or power / may possess l have
thrown IL into the scale OF the cause OF my
fellow workers.
Max Hayes OF the typographical union
objected TO the report of the committee
and argued that II the federation wanted
10 go into politics II would be better for
II to support the socialist party in prefer
enne to the democratic.
Several other delegates spoke in opposi.

fore the trunk line system was established.
There were many small systems which
could not reach the oil wells because OF

GOT HER PICTURE BACK.
Taken From Dead Union Soldier
During the War.

Taken from the body OF Union
soldier on the battlefield of Chancel-
.lorsville, daguerrotype of young
man and girl has been returned to
the girl in the picture after search
lasting thirty-three years.
The search has been conducted by
Edgar NJ. Whitenour. retired free
holder of Patterson, n. J. His wife's
father, Nicholas Barnes, member of
a New Jersey regiment, was captured
in the civil war. The daguerrotype
was given to him by a Confederate to
send north. On the back of the case
were the names of John Rawson and
Nellie Augusta Nettleton. Mr.. White
nour for years has been trying to
trace these names and locate, If pos
sible, the woman whose likeness was
presented.
Recently the history of the Net
tleton family was consulted and the
result was the finding Of claimant
for the picture. Nellie Augusta Not
tleton was finally located in the per-
son OF Mrs. T. s. Stowe. of Milford,
Conn. The daguerreotype known in
her youth is now is her possession.
