HE ENTERS DENIAL OF GRIMES
CHARGED AGAINST STAND
ARD OIL COMPANY.
DID NOT CUT PRICES
SAYS INDUSTRIAL COMBINATIONS
ARE NECESSARY AND SHOULD
BE ENCOURAGED.

New York.-John d. Rockefeller ap-
pears for the first time in the role of
an author In a series OF articles on
Some Random "reminiscences of Men
and Events" the first OF which will
appear on Friday, In an October mag
azine.
Rockefeller gives as a reason for
speaking now. that 'if tenth of the
things that have been said are true.
then dozens of able and faithful men
who have been associated with me.
many OF whom have passed away, must
have been guilty OF grave faults. For
myself. l had decided to say nothing.
hoping that after my death the truth
would gradually come to the surface
and posterity would do strict justice; /;
but while | live and can testify to GER
tain things 1t seems fair that I shold
refer to some points which l hope will
help to set forth several much dis
cussed happenings In a new light.
am convinced that they have not been
fully understood.
1T has been said that forced the
men who became my partners In the
oil business to Join with me. would
not have been so shortsighted. II II
were true that | followed such tactics.
| ask, would 1t have been possible to
make Of such men lifelong compan-
ions?"
Rockefeller speaks OF the develop
ment OF the Standard Oil Company and
says that the plan OF selling direct to
the consumer and the exceptionally
rapid growth OF the business. bred a
certain antagonism which I suppose
could not have been avoided" He says:
I'VE did not ruthlessiy go after the
trade OF our competitors and attempt
to ruin It by cutting prices or institut-
ing n spy system" II any OF the en-
ployes OF the company were oT1rzeal-
Gus In going after sales. he says that
they acted In violation OF the expressed
and known wishes OF the company.
Rockefeller says that In the early
days the oil industry was considered
most hazardous undertaking.
Further on he says, Another thing
to be remembered about the so-called
octopus is that there has been no
water introduced into the capital tper-
haps we felt that oil and water would
not have mixed). nor in all these years
has any one had to walt for money
which the Standard owed.
1T is a common thing to hear peo-
pie say tina; this company has crushed
out Its competitors. Only the unin-
formed could make such an assertion.
II has and always has had. and always
will have. hundreds OF active competi-
tors. The Standard has not now and
never did have royal road to suprem-
acy. nor is its success due to any one
man, but to the multitude OF able men
who are working together"
In discussing "the modern corpora
ton. Rockefeller says:
1T is too late to argue about the al
vantage of industrial combinations
They are necessity. And II Ameri-
cans are to have the privilege OF ex'
tending their business in all the states
OF the Union and into foreign coun-
tries as well. they are necessity on a
large scale and require the agency OF
more than one corporation"
