ROCKEFELLERS READY
To OLOSE FORTUNE FOR
INDUSTRIAL FREEDOM
John D., Jr., Says His Father Owns
40 Per Cent. Of Stock in Trou-
bled Colorado Mines
Bv Associated Press

Washington, d. c., April 6.-John
d. Rockefeller. Jr., told the House
mines committee to-day that his
father owns about 40 per cent. OF the
stock of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company, the central figure in the IN
dustrial strife which has swept the
Colorado coal field. Mr.. Rocketeiler
contended that responsibility Tor the
conduct of corporations lay not only
with the stockholders or directors put
with the officers of the company.
"In these days when business in
terests are so diversified and directors
are members of so many boards, the
best they can do is to appoint of1lcers
and hold them responsible" said he.
Don't you think the fact that the
government has found it necessary 10
take action would warrant you in taxi
ing more than passing interest In
the situation asked Chairman Fos-
ter.
II have taken more than a passing
interest" returned Mr.. Rockefeller.
THE vast sums of money involved and
the great disorder in the field con-
cerned me closely. But l have done
all that / could have done. The oft1-
GERS of the company have been held
responsible and il we are at any time
convinced their policies are mistaken
we will Immediately remove them: l
am one of my fathers representatives
in this as in other of his personal
investments"
Industrial Freedom
1--WE stand ready to lose every cent
we have invested in that company
rather than that the workingmen of
this country should lose their right to
work for whom they please" said Mr..
Rockefeller.
You'll do that even If you lose all
your money and have all your en-
ployes killed." asked Mr.. Foster.
ITS a great principle. It's ma
tional issue. And we propose to sup
port the officers in their course, which
is in support of the workingmen them
selves and their right to work for
whom they please and how they
please" returned the witness
