UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
NEW YORK. Jan. 19.-Labor's s
case against concentrated wealth
with the possibility OF some direct
accusations against the Rockefellers,
was to be stated before the United
States commission on industrial re.
lations today when the investiga'
ton of the effect of swollen fortunes
upon society was resumed.
Ida NJ. Tarbell, widely known as
the author OF magazine articles
throwing light upon the Standard
Oils activities, was to be the first
witness. She will be followed by
John Mitchell, former vice president
OF the American Federation OF La
Dor and Representative David j
Lewis, of Maryland. one Of the union
card members Of the house.
1.-THE witnesses" to be heard today
planned to reply to Roger w. Bah
son, statistician and economist who
told the commission yesterday that
labor must be considered commod
ity Just like coal and iron In adjust
ing Industrial differences.
''In all dealings" Babson said, ia
Dor must be considered simply as a
commodity to be bought and sold
Most social workers forget that and
that's where they make their great
est mistake. s... q
.Thank God for their mistakes
interrupted Commissioner John B
Lennon.
Miss Tarbell, severely garbed In
black, was the first witness. She
said she had been engaged In liter
ary work for many years, and recent
ly had been investigating relations
of the Golden Rule to business"
"You say there is silent revolu-
tion going on in business?" said
Chairman Walsh, "tell us just what
you mean"
Business is today finding out that
the common man is the great thing
in this world" she answered. ITO
give him full justice and opportunity

Of labor The personal equation and
the individual man is now the big
subject confronting employers. I be-
lieve there are in this country today
more employers than ever before who
realize that unless the common man
is properly cared for, they them
selves cannot hope to make their af-
fairs properly successful
Miss Tarbell explained at great
length the investigation she has COM
pleted recently as to scientific man
agement.
Wherever the institution Of scien-
tiflc management has been worked
out honestly and definitely" she
said, 'it has benefited the worker.

A Test Case.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1oThe
British reply in the Dacia case was
transmitted to the state department
by Ambassador Page at London.
No explanation was furnished for
the refusal to consent to the trip,
but state department officials as
sumed that the British authorities
feared 1t set dangerous precedent
for future registry transfer cases.
The owners OF the Dacia had as
sured the British government through
the state department to consent to
the Rotterdam voyage to enable
them to fulfill the contract to deliver
a cargo Of cotton in Germany before
testing the legality OF registry trans
fer. The British refusal put the next
step up to the owners.
There was every indication that
this government will accept the Is
sue made by Great Britain for max
ing the case of the Dacia, test Of
the transfer of interned German YES
sells to American ownership. 1t Is
generally understood that this gov
ernment is prepared to back up the
owners of the Dacia in controversy
with Great Britain aside from the
general shipping protest to Great
Britain. State department officials
pointed out today that the Dacia
presents a clear cut case for the set
tlement OF some points in the ship

the prunes are superior to the crops
