TO PROMOTE WELL.BEING OF
THE EMPLOYEES"
D|RECT0RSRESPONSIBLE
DENIES ATTEMPTING TO DICTATE
POLICY OR CONTROL THE
SITUATION.

=
New York.-John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
active head of the interests acquired
Or built up by his father, occupied the
witness stand for five hours Monday
at the inquiry being conducted here
by the United States Commission on
Industrial Relations into the great
philanthropic foundations and the
cause of industrial unrest.
While on the stand, Rockefeller
said that he intended to visit Colo
'ado in the near future and intimated
hat he was delaying the trip only
because Of the present hearing.
Rockefeller's testimony dealt large
y with the labor situation in the
Colorado mining section. Reading
rom prepared statement, he denied
hat he had sought or even wished to
exercise sort of absolutism over the
,oal industry in Colorado and de-
,lared he was most heartily in favor
Of labor unions, SO long as they had
1ue regard for the interests Of the
public.
THE only coal property in Colo
RADIO in which we are in any way in
.erested is the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Company" Rockefeller said. For me
to have attempted to dictate policy,
Or control the situation, would have
meant an assumption of authority far
beyond what the investment which l
represent would have justified.
"The commission has asked my
views" said Rockefeller, "as to what
extent the stockholders and dir sctcrs
Of corporation are responsible for
The labor conditions which exist In it,
and for the social conditions which
are produced; how generally and in
what manner such responsibilities are
assumed by stockholders and direct
ors, and, in actual practice, how and
upon what general basis the labor
policies of large corporations are de-
termined.
THE responsibilities of stockhold-
ers is practically limited to the elec-
tion of directors. They have no pow
err to elect officers, to employ labor,
to make contracts or to intervene d.
rectly in the management of the busi-
pess. A large stockholder, however.
Is able to exercise considerable
moral influence over the directors
and officers and is responsible for ex-
ercising that influence properly.
THE directors are responsible for
the general conduct Of business; they
have the power to elect officers and
do determine the policies Of the busi-
ness.
Labor conditions so far as they
are within the control Of a corpora
tion, are matters for which the Off
GERS of the corporations are primarily
responsible. -
Labor policies are initiated and
determined by the officers A
business, to be successful, must not
only provide to labor remunerative
employment under proper working
conditions, but it also must render
useful service to the community and
earn a fair return on the money in
vested.

Never In Doubt What to Do Next.
Mary Jane, child of Ave, "just
loved" to attend the meetings of
West side church society with her
mother, particularly SO because it
meant luncheon away from home.
One afternoon at one of these meet
.ngs the minister was vociferously ex-
planning the needs of the church and
plans to secure aid, which seemed
ruthless. In despair he exclaimed:
What shall we do next"
There was thoughtful silence, then
suddenly a small voice piped out:

Answer to Criticism of Ameri-

1t was announced today at the state
Department that the reply of this Gov

protested against the shipment of arms
to the allies and severely criticised the
policy of this country as not being in

Secretary Bryan will send the Amer-

Won Bernstorf. The nature OF II is
moi disclosed. nor is it yet stated when
1t will be made public.
Although at first the German note was
talked of as being an emanation from
Count Won Bernstorff, it is now ac-
cepted as having been dictated from
Berlin. The ambassador from the be-

1t Is believed that this Government
now accepts that view of it and re-
CARDS the note as having come from
Berlin.
The American note, it is expected,
will be carefully framed diplomatic
statement of the American position.
That position will be made entirely
clear to the German foreign office and
the world. 1t will be that the United
States has the undoubted right to ship
arms to the belligerents that it Is not
desponsible for the fact one set of the
belligerents gets the arms and the other
does not, that it is taking every reason
able step to continue neutral commerce
in foodstuffs, and that it is not open
to the charge of partiality.
