Under the caption worlds Work Please Copy." "The Interpreter" writ ing in the December American Nigga zine, challenges John Dc Rockefeller as follows:
 am hoping that before MT. John D. Rockefeller finishes the "reminiscences which he has just begun in the World Work he will use this Foraker incident as reason for giving us an unexpur- gated account of the political activities if himself and his associates in Ohio, be- ginning with the time when he furnished money to defeat his friend, Senator Payne, for Congress. A frank account or Senator Payne's election-of his talk with Senator Hanna, and, of course, a detailed story of what Senator Foraker has been able to do for the Standard Oil company, would be one of the greatest public services MT. Rockefeller could render. I should like to have him give his real point of view in regard to these activities-just why he felt them neces- sary, just how he squared them with his notions of the duties of citizenship-with his ideals of democracy.
 l SnOulu, dDONt dll, ihO to hhOW AiOii' MT. Rockefeller if he really considers it worth a mans while to serve any corpo- ration, however great and prosperous and benefcent' if in so doing he must learn to defend a course of action clearly con trary to our public policy like this rela- tion of Mr Foraker and MT. Archbold- if he must close his mouth and his mind to the moral quality of the service re- quired of him-if he must perform acts which cannot stand in the light of day if he must refuse to remember on the witness stand-or worse. The individual tragedies in the Standard Oil company the prosperous men smirched with dis honor-are appalling. I don't know that I've ever seen anything which gave me a more terrible wrench than Standard men of standing and position on the witness stand not remembering facts that every office boy in the great concern knew they must know. They never will forget the

part they had to play-no more than their fellow townsmen will forget. What MT. Rockefeller should do for us is to state in clear terms the estimate he evidently must have made as a guide for himself of how much truthfulness, character, frankness, public spirit are worth in dol lars and cents.
 And while I am suggesting topics, there is another department of this great busi- ness that originated with him and that I wish he would be explicit about and that is the spy system. Certainly MT. Rockefeller will not venture to attribute this peculiar activity to the "overzeal' of some employe anxious for his own or his company's advancement''-the gen. eral explanation he gives in the first chapter of his "reminiscences to the criti- cisms made in his concern. I at least know that, far from being a case of overzeal, the spying on competitors has been a well organized and most efficiently managed part of this business organi- zation for many years. I once had in my hands a great bundle of the anony- nous "reports" and "forms'' which had been used and discarded by the bureau which looks after this kind of thing-a division of that great bookkeeping system to which see MT. Rockefeller attributes much of the success of the Standard oil company. The bundle came to me in a curious way. A boy employed by the Standard Oil comapny to burn such pa- pers regularly in the furnaces noticed fre- quently on them as he stuffed them into the fire the name of a man who had once been kind to him. The man was an inde- pendent dealer in oil. The boy studied the papers. He saw from them how this mans shipments were reported from the freight offices by railroad employees se- cretly to the Standard Oil company. He found a telegram ordering agents to se- cure a countermand of the orders-saw reports that the ordering had been suc- cessfully discharged. So often did he see this that he became alarmed for his friend, and finally, unable to endure his secret, he gathered up complete sets of the documents and carried them at night to the mans house. It was from there they came to mo. The papers are now,

The railroad fare from this city to that place was then about s3.25. saved something by handing the conductor $2 in cash. One day there was an excursion and I bought a round trip ticket for $1.25 or s1.50. I've forgotten the exact amount, but that cir constance need not cripple this story.
 "When I handed this ticket to the con- ductor as he tore off the return coupon he looked at me and in a voice betraying how deeply he was hurt, he remarked: My young fripnd, don't you know that I can afford to haul you much cheaper than the company can.'
