ROCKEFELLER, JR., ON STAND

Washington, April John ID. Roc
kefeller, Jr, told the House mines
committee today that his father owned
about forty per cent Of the stock of
the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co, the CEN
tral figure in the Industrial strife
which mas swept the Colorado Goa,
fields.
Rockefeller said the responsibility
for the conduct of the corporation lay
not only with the stockholders and the
directors but with the officers.
The officers of the company he
said, have been held responsible, anG
if we find their policies have been
mistaken we will Immediately remove
them"
No Time to Investigate.
You are wha: is called a dummy
director. are YOU not asked Chair
man Foster.
We'll, we don't call it that" replied
Rockefei.er.
lie said his fathers interests were
represented in the directorate by him
self, Starr J. Murphy and John Green.
He said that L. NJ. Bowers, indirect"
representative, was an officer Of the
company in whom the officials had
confidence as an upright and able busi-
ness man.
Rockefeller said he himself had no
time TO look personally into the Colo
RADIO field conditions. He said If ne
thought he thus was failing in duty he
would resign, but he declared his con-
science was clear.
Same Principle Involved Here.
Discussing labor conditions, Rookie
fellcr said ne thought free American
citizens should have the right To chose
their employer and conditions Of
work" Ninety PER cent of the em-
ploycs of the Colorado Fuel n Iron
company, he said were non-uniou mcr
who had no difficulties with the officers
of the company. lie said lie saw NO
reason why they should be forced 10
join a union and made to pay union
dues by the other ten per cent
Il believe employer and employe arc
fellowmen and should treat each other
as SUCH he said He said the stris,
would cost a million. He did not know
whether money had been spent TO inn
port firearms TO the strike zone, bur
said if the state could not protect the
employees the company's first duty was
To do So
we stand ready 10 lose every cent
invested i'm that company rather than
that the workmen of this country
should lose the right to work FOR
whom they please" said Rockefeller.
You will do that even il YOU lose
all your money and have all your en-
ployes killed." asked Mr. Foster.
Rockefeller replied
1t is a great principle. 1t is ma
tional issue. We propose 90 support
the officers in their course, which is ia
support of the wor<ingmen themselves
and their right To work for whom and
when they please"

The Newfoundland's survivors were

Every Chance Against Her.

The first hope, based on the staunch.

of the Newfoundland told Of the two
days blizzard and the conditions in
which II caught the Southern Cross.
Captain Martin of the sealer Erik said
he parted company from her a week
ago Thursday, when the Southern
Cross turned homeward with seventeen
hundred seals. She was so deeply
laden that all her provisions and part
Of her bunker coal were stored on
deck, so that every available space be-
low could be filed with her catch.
Other ships OF the sealing fleet sight
ed the steamer driving before the gale
last Tuesday morning. She has not
been reported since, and the shippers
of the fleet who came through that
gale and the storm of equal severity
later in the week say that every chance
was against a vessel SO deep in the
water as the Southern Cross.

THE SWEET SINGER
Thousands of Canary Birds Brought
From Germany.

From Germany comes the story of
how the Canary birds are raised for
market.
There are large number of German
families in the smaller cities and towns
who have but little employment In the
winter months, and these families
spend much of their time in raising
canary birds. AS soon as the birds
are large enough to take from the nest
they are placed in small wooden cages,
each bird by itself, until the "bird
man" comes on his tour for the pur-
pose of purchasing birds for the
market.
The price paid in accordance with a
system of grading, for appearance
and singing qualities, and there is as
much difference in bird voices as
there is in human voices. So it is that
the people who raise the birds take
special care that their singing quail
tiles are developed and for that pur-
pose they are kept near the cages of
choice "singers" for cultivation.
Thousands of these birds are brought
to America every year and whenever
shipment arrives the New York deal
ers are ready to select the choicest
birds and for these they pay what
would seem like exhorbltant prices,
but the high priced birds are most
easily sold and are IN great demand by
bird fanciers.
1t is a rare pleasure to hear several
dozen singers" all singing at one
time, and this pleasure can be enjoyed
by any one who will visit P. M. He'll

FINE GRAZING ON
THE COLORADO RANGES

Denver, June 25.-Prospects for an
unusually good feed season for stock
grazed on the national forests i'm Col
orado were never more encouraging
than at the present time. is the an
nouncement made today by a local
forest officer upon his return to
Headquarters from a visit on several
OF the forests. Although the late
winter SHOWS left the ranges in fair
condition, the recent heavy rains
which have occurred generally
throughout the state have materially
improved the amount and quality Of
the forage growth.
The benefits will, ii is said. be
especially marked in the lower foot
hills and intermediate elevations
where stock are still being held
awaiting the opening OF the higher
ranges. These latter. owing to the
heavy winter SHOWS, are being held
back later than usual Because of
! the late SHOWS, stock which depend
ed largely upon winter range enter
ed the forests in somewhat weak
ened state, and in some localities
heavy losses have been reeported
Present indications now lead to the
belief that, in general. stock will
leave the ranges this fan In prime
market condition.
