Prejudiced by Rockefeller.

That public sentiment has been preju-
diced by the interest held in one of the
mining companies by Mr.. Rockefeller is
the belief of. Mrs. Grenfell. THAT such
should be the case is most unfair" she
says. MIR. Rockefeller OWNS 10 per cent
of the stock of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company. but it must be borne in
mind that the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company is only one of more than
twenty coal companies affected by the
strike.
Mrs G-enfell suggests that in the end
outside and disinterested mediation
will be necessary to bring about per
manent quiet. She believes it will be
best to keep the federal soldiers in the
field for a time.
