were lashed from $50 TO 200 times,
the women fifty times. The COM
mittee stated that few of the in
mates working in the factories had
escaped punishment.
Effects of 1911 strike against the
Hartman lines upon the 30, 000
shopmen involved were sketched
recently before the United States
Commission on Industrial Rela-
tions The witness was Frank
Comerford, for many years attor-
ney for the men. One thousand
question blanks weIe sent at ram
don. to the strikers 81 months after
the strike His figures, Mr.. Com
erford explained, applied to these
thousand men, and he thought
that a fair social survey of the
whole number could be obtained
by multiplying his hgures by 81.
OF the thousand men whose replies
were checked up, according to Mr..
Comerford, 1856 were single when
the strike was called September 30,
1911. There were 1743 children,
a small number which, he thought,
might be traced to low wages and
a subnormal scale of living. Forty
two per cent, of the men owned
their homes or were buying them.
The strike cost Is per cent. of
these their homes, and of the whole
number 81 per cent. moved to
cheaper quarters. Twelve per
cent. of the strikers had to sell
their furniture and 10 per cent. to
seek charity. The average period
of idlenes occasioned by the strike
was one year.

Dummy Directors Control.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 14.-Be
fore leaving for Washington to at
tend meeting of the United States
industrial relations commission
Chairman Walsh had this to say in
reference to John D Rockefeller,
jr. s, denial of knowledge of Col
orado strike conditions:
/ would hardly call Rockefeller
a hypocrite yet. You know that
is pretty strong charge to make
against any man. But all through
the investigation into the strike
conditions that cost the lives of
men, women, and children he has
covered up.
- At least he has covered up thru
the press. He has hired his own
publicity agents to handle the sit
uation TO the exclusion, as far as
possible, of the facts covering the
other side. Some of the editorial
writers in New York protect him.
Rockefeller, on the stand, said
his company could not control the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company
because his company only owned
40 per cent of the stock. A COM
pany like his could control easily
with III per cent of the stock. The
stock is bought by small stock
holders through banking firms.
They look to the banking firms to
look after their interests, and the
Rockefeller Foundation controls
the banks.
The Foundation is controlled
by lot of Rockefeller Office buys
aud clerks, the biggest lot Of dunn
ny directors in existence.
Rockefeller said | made nv
statements on the deductions and
not cn facts. l have the facts and
they will be bre ught out at the
hearing in Washington. /"

Says John D., ST., Is Boss.

Cincinnati, Ohio, May 14-Johr
d. Rockefeller, Sr., and not his
son, is the power that directs every
movement connected with / h e
Rockefeller millions, according to
Chairman Frank Walsh Of The
United States industrial relations
commission, in speech in this
city, last Sunday,
The federal prober discussed his
controversy with Rockefeller, j.,
caused by the former charge that
the young multi-millionaire was
fully acquainted with strike con
ditions in Colorado, despite his
statements to the contrary.
Answering the charge that he
had made public private CORES
pondence, Chairman Walsh said
Nothing which has to do with
breaking down the civic organism
of the state or country can be called
private.
IF these letters that Mr.. Rookie
feller has sent to this commission
are true, and believe they are
true, then l have violated no con-
fdence, inasmuch as the facts in
these letters show conditions which
have not heretofore been given to
this commission and which, | be-
lieve, are vital to the understand
ing. cf the Colorado coal strike
situation.
But | have nothing but pity for
John D. Rockefeller jr. He is rep
resenting the greatest fortune in
tt e world, and I want te say in do
ing this be does not do anything

WORLD OF LABOR

In two decisions, Judge George
Gray, of Wilmington, acting as
umpire in disputes between coal
operators and employees, has sus-
tanned the latter's position that
wage increase Of 10 per cent, shall
be granted. In those cases where
wage increases have been allowed
an increase of Eve and one half pei
cent is ordered. The two decisions
were conducted along rules laid
down by the anthracite strike com
mission, in 1908.
The Ohio Senate has passed the
Archer bill, which empowers the
State Industrial Commission TO pre-
scribe hours Of labor for workmen
and to regulate sanitary and safety
conditions in factories. Senator
Wicline is most enthusiastic over
the proposal. He asserts there will
be no necessity for anti-lobby laws,
if the bill passes, as it will end all
legislative lobbying. Unionists,
however, refuse to be convinced.
They resent the thought of having
their affairs passed upon by State
commission and ask that its duties
be put down in black and white,
rather than have such undehed au-
thority. The unionists are now
trying to convince members of the
House that even if the bill is ap-
proved by them, workers may not
accept commission decisions re-
garding hours.
Both branches of the Tennessee
Legislature have voted to give the
State Board of Control authority to
renew convict labor leases with
contractors operating factories at
the State prison The State Fed
Grafton of Labor has been active in
its opposition to this system, which
recently received hard blow at
the hands Of special committee
appointed by the Legislature to in
vestigate the prison. The commit
tee condemned the practice of whip
ping prisoners, both men and wem-
en-, for alleged short amounts of
work done during the day, or what
is classed as bad work. meaning

Vacation With Pay For
Chicago Union.

! Chicago, May IA. The Milk
Wagon Drivers union of this city,
affiliated to the International Bro.
therhood of Teamsters and Chauf-
feurs, has secured a new wage scale
covering the 2, 600 members of this
organization, which provides for a
two weeks vacation with full pay
each year for every man in the
service of the company on April /.
Prior to 1902, when the union
was organized, milk wagon drivers
were working for S35 a month.
Last year the membership averaged
SO 85 weekly for + b e ffty-two
weeks. Under the agreement Just
signed il is also specified that dur
ing the six months of cold weother
drivers shall n It hitch up or leave
the dairy before eight clock in
the morning. For the summer
months, drivers may start any time
they see fit after three o'clock in
the morning, but must be through
and put up in the stable by noon
under penalty of being fned by the
union. To this the employers
agreed.
The milk wagon drivers are
elated over the advance made rela-
tive to vacations, General Presi-
dent Tobin of the International
Brotherhood who assisted in the
said
II believe that we are the first
that has signed agree
ment, recognizing the right of the
workingman to vacation with sal
ary. Our argument with the EN-
ployers was that the working man
needed rest for the purpose of
conserving the human frame just
as much as the banker, broker or
high salaried officer, and because
of the splendid condition of this
union of milk wagon drivers we
were successful in getting the en-
ployers to accept our viewpoint "

Letter.
To The Central Bodies And
Labor Press of Ohio.

The past week in the Ohio Leg
islature witnessed the reconsidera-
ton of the Gallagher bill and it's
passage on Wednesday by the
House of Representatives. This
bill is now IN the hands OF the Gov
ernor, and the United Mine Work
ers' Representative have asked him
to veto same.
The Archer bill, which had been
recommitted to the labor committee
last week, was, on motion of Rep
resentative Jackson, taken from the
committee and after the defeat of a
motion by Representative Chapman
to indefinitely postpone, was plac-
ed on its passage and defeated by a
vote of 81 to AZ one vote less than
the constitutional requirement.
During the week the members
of the labor com mittee of the Sen
ate have repeatedly refused to sign
a report recommending the Vorheis
bill providing for nine hours day
and fifty hours per week for wom-
en- workers in factories, workshops
millinery and dressmaking estab-
lishments. This bill was offered
last week as a substitute fer Sena-
tor Kenuedy's Eight Hour bill for
women.
A One Days Rest il Seven bill
was introduced in the House by
Representative Whitacre and pass
ed. This bill is being held up in
the senate by Senator Archer and
his friends on the Labor commit
tee. The Legislative Agent of the
Federation has refused to recede
from his position on the Archer
bill for the purpose of putting on
the statute books this weakling
called One Days Rest in Seven.
The bill declares for the principle,
but exempts almost al industries.
The Legislature convenes again
Thursday at 10 A. NJ. and will
more than probably be in session
for the remainder of the week at
which time they will take recess
for about ten days, when it will re-
turn for one day cleanup session.
Up to the present time labor has
received legislation from the hands
of the Eighty First General AS
s@mbly.
Fraternally yours,
Thomas j. Donnelly,
Secretary Treasurer and Legisla-
tive Agent O. S. F. of T..

IN MANY WEEKS
Trading in First Hours Fall
Low; Specialties Make Big
Gains

New York. Dec. 4.-Trading in the
first hour of to-day's market was the
dullest for that period in many
weeks, transactions falling under TO-
600 shares. Dealings in active isues
were of most superficial character,
consisting largely of settlement of ex-
listing contracts.
Changes in the most representative
shares were unusually narrow, but
some specialties. notably General Mo-
tors, International Agricultural Chemi-
cal, preferred, General Electric, Re-
public Steel and Montana Power.
showed striking gains. United Fruit
teH 61a TO 144, and Bethlehem Steel
10 TO 465. Rails were firm but incon-
spicuous. Prices hardened in the
more active final dealings. The clos
ing was strong. Bonds were irregu-
lar with future sale of Anglo-F French
notes at 81, new minimum on the
Exchange.
Advances of a fraction to n full
point were recorded by numerous spe-
clalues into the early dealings, with
the usual neglect of more seasoned
shares. The greatest gain was made
by international Agricultural Chemi-
cal, preferred, which rose az to 60.
Montana Power, one of yesterdays
strong features fell 31a to 1879 and
United Fruit dropped 31s to 147 in
connection with some new financing by
the company. Trading was dull and
narrow.
