tivities. and defending the charter under
which the Foundation is doing business
Mr.. Greene admitted, in reply to ques-
lions. that the charter was broad in scope
and that under it there was nothing to
prevent the Foundation from engaging in
propaganda against trade unions or con-
Quoting a campaign against compensa-
ton for workmen. But he asserted there
was not the remotest chance that such
things would ever be done.
The witness declared there were no
grounds ontwhich to base a suggestion
that the charter. which was granted by
the New York legislature. might be UNI
constitutional
AS for conditions in Colorado, the wit
ness saw no reason why the Rockefeller
Foundation should interest itself more in
the workers than in any other place
where there appeared to be need OF
assistance. The trouble in Colorado he
believed to be economic.
