Rockefeller Union
From The Trisun. Bureau

Washington, Oct. 4.-The idea Of
John D. Rockefeller. jr., forming a
labor union of his employees in Colorado
was held up 10 ridicule tonight by
Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor.
$50 Mr.. Rockefeller has formed a
union" said Mr.. Gompers, "a union O.
his employees Of his Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company-and perhaps imagines
that ne has solved the problem of just
relations between himself and his en-
ployes But with all his wealth and all
his brains, and all the brains that ho
could buy and suborn, he has missed
MS mark. Imagine an organization of
miners formed by the richest man in
tho world. who employs its members.
What influence can such pseudo union
have 70 insist upon the remedying of l
grievous wrong or the attainment Of
real right! And what about the repre-.
sentatives Of the men sitting around
the table with Mr.. Rockefeller and hi'
angelic representatives out in Colorado
should the miners spokesman have the
temerity TO insist on the ightful de-
mands OF the miners?
"The miners employed by the
Colorado Fuel & Iron Company have
Deen whipped, Dy means OF AtroclOuS
brutality and hunger into submission,
back 20 the mines. And these miners
have been formed into a union by Mr..
Rockefeller's benevolent altruism!
But he has organized them, and for
that, at any rate. labor is truly CRATE
fuI. for when mel come together to
discuss, even in the most curSory way,
their rights and interests and welfare,
there is afforded splendid field for
development and opportulit
After what Mr. Rockefeller h :
done, that is, TO organize A union of
miners in Colorado, he should carry
his benevolent and practical purposes
into full execution in all h9 varied in
dustries and not wait until another
massacre like that at Ludlow breaks
out at one Of his other industrial in
stitutions. Do not stop II Colorado,

musical knowledge and mechanical skill of the

Several years ago was asked, by an aquaint
ance, who had recently returned from trip around
the world, what was the secret OF the Aeoian
Company's worldwide success?'
He had visited the principal cities Of Australia
and Europe, and had seen the large Branches we
maintain in those cities. Everywhere he went he
had found Aeolian instruments in evidence and
universally regarded as the leading examples of
their respective types.
replied to his question by stating that while
there we're undoubtedly many contributing factors,
| believed Aeolian success was chiefly due to
spirit that pervadcs the whole organization and
has frequently been commented upon-that Of
dissatisfaction with present results and the deter
mnaton to produce the best, whatever the instru-
ment or article might be.

Indianapolis. Oct. 4.-William Green,
secretary of the United Mine Workers
Of America. said to-day that, although
John d. Rockefeller, jr.. had taken a
step in the right direction. his plan
for the Colorado field will fall through
because of the lack OF organization.
The United Mine Workers of Amer
ica are not a party to the PLAN" added
Mr.. Green "ln fact. there is no organ
ization among the men employed in
any OF the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company's mines. The plan submitted
by Mr. Rockefeller is between the Col
orado Fuel and Iron Company and its
employees. Mr.. Rockefeller has not
gone far enough"

~ Vocation in the New York newspapers
4 last winter, there have been many sur
A-A mises as to the policy this Company
would pursue in regard 70 1t.
As the instrument has become better known
and its unusual features recognized, queries from
musicians, members of the music trade and others,
regarding our attitude have become so numerous
that it has been deemed advisable to make pub
lie statement.
In the first place let me say that the Aeollan-
Vocation was not designed to be what might be
called popular phonograph' that is to say, 1t
is not intention to produce an enormous num-
Der annually or to seek broadcast representation
We believe the market is already wcll-supplied
with the very low-priccd instruments, and that
these admirably serve their purpose.
But it is with the phonograph that purports
to be serious musical nstrumcnt-that adopted
for educational purposes and finds its way into
homes where music is known and appreciated
that the Aeolan-V location has entered into com.
petition.
This is not to be construed that the Aeolian
Vocation is inordinately high-priced or is not avail
able for the lighter forms of musical entertainments
such as dancing, etc.
The reverse of this is the case, as its prices
are surprisingly moderate, considering its advan
tages while its unusual BODY and depth OF tone
give it great carrying power for dancing. But,
as its character is such to make it appeal most
strongly to people of musical taste, the Aeolian-
Vocation will be handled with the conservatism
such an instrument deserves.
We feel, as a matter of fact that the Aeollan-
Vocation IS one of the most important musical
instruments that have yet appeared
The phonograph itself occupies peculiar field:
1t is the interpreter of all music, instrumental and
vocal 1t appeals to every taste and is the most
practical and broadly useful means of supplying
music ever devised.
This company long ago realized the musical
possibilities Of the phonograph. And, may add,
that the decision to enter the field as manufac-
turer was not made until it had proved its ability
to develop these possibilities
The widespread comment that has been made
on the obvious superiority of the Aeollan-Vocaion
is significant and gratifying tribute to the
New-York tribune., 1915-10-05

This spirit is certainly brought to very pro.
nounced naturalization in the Aeoan- Vocation.
have personally been in almost daily touch
with those responsible for it and have been
gratified and sometimes even amazed at their
enthusiasm and resourcefulness.
From the period, several years ago, when we
first began to investigate the possibility of de-
veloping the phonograph musically, until the
Aeolan-Vocalion was finally put upon the market
their zeal has never tagged.
During this whole period hardly month
passed that did not bring to light some new dis
covery or new application of acoustcal principles
which would tend to improve the phonograPh'
Indeed, the only one of the Aeoan ,Vocalions
important musical features not directly attriout-
able to the AeoIian Companys own staff, is the
device for controlling tone, known as the Gradu-
ola This was the invention of Mr. r. }. Empson
of Sydney Australia the exclusive rights OF which
we secured two years ago.
In this connection it may not be amiss Tor me
TO remove a misconccpton which is sometimes
entertained regarding the Graduola.
Wonderful and entertaining as the PhonograPn
is its value is seriously Curalcd unless IT possesses
some method of tone-control
That manufacturers have recognized this IS
evidenced by the doors, shutters, etc, with which

plan was accepted 1t is understood
that several other directors will sign
tho minutes Of the meeting thus Civ
ing a majority vote Of approval. The
directors present were John y. Rocke-
teller. jr.. J. F. Welborn. president Of
the company: 5. G. Pierson. vice-presi-
dent; J. A. Writer. secretary. and .Cass
Harrington. general counsel The vote
in favor Of the adoption Of me plan was
unanimous.
Rockefeller lnspects Road.
Mr. Rockefeller to-day motored TO
Boulder. where he inspected stretch
OF public highway recently improved
through the expenditure Of part Of
the 100000 given by t1~ Rockefeller
Foundation 20 provide work for unem-
ployed coal miners. Near Boulder Mr..
Rockefeller visited road building
camp Of convicts from 'he state peni-
Tertiary
The Rockefeller party planned 20
leave late tomorrow for Sunrise, Wyo,
where the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany has an iron mine
Rumors that Governor George A..
Carlson was on the point OF ordering a
dismissal Of most Of the criminal
charges growing out Of the coal miners
strike OF 1854 were current to-day
in circles close 70 the state administra-
tion.
Mr.. Rockefeller and Mr. Welborn
called upon the Governor and discussed
the general industrial situation with
him. Both the Governor and Mr.. Rocke-
feler denied that the latter had sug-
gested that any Of the strike cases be
dropped Governor Carlson stated that
he had not yet decided whether 20 in
S,ruct the Attorney General 10 dismiss
any or all Of the cases.
New-York tribune., 1915-10-05

they have equipped their instruments, the system
of interchangeable needles some provide, and by
dozens of inventions on record here and abroad
Mr. Empson's invention provides the only
satisfactory method Of tone control yet produced
and has been adopted as an exclusive feature or
the Aeolan " VocalIon.
While not arbitrary that IS it may be used
or ignored at will - ITS advantage, when utilized,
is two-fod
1t permits the introduction of delicate shad-
ings in tone-color without actually changing an
artists own technique and expression and thus
obviates record monotony'
And it compensatcs for the recognized limit
alton in the present method of making records
bv enabling one TO play with extreme deicacy
without smofhe,ing the tone with doors, or losing
any of its tints by using very soft needles
Indeed, the Graduola, or some device equally
effective, is an essential part of any phonograph
which, like the Vocation, makes its appeal
to people of genuine musical taste.
And this is the appeal which t'e Aeoli,n-
Vocation is designed to make.
We believe the phonograph has an important
mission But we also know that IN the past IT
has been subject to some measure OF criticism,
from people who we're musical.
In the Aeolan Vocation this Company has
produced phonograph which goes tar towards
meeting this criticism, and it is the requirements
of people of genuine musical taste and perception
that the Aeolian Vocation is designed to supply.
