Rockefeller, Latest Plan.

More than ordinary interest attaches 70 the
plan announced by John ID. Rockefeller, ir.. for
the ameloration of labor conditions in the coal
camps OF Colorado. This plan partakes OF the
nature OF Joint agreement between the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company and the men
employed in and about It's workings, in this re-
gard giving full recognition to the doctrine OF
collective bargaining. In the arrangement for
carrying out its provisions in detail. II compre-
bends the chiefest function OF a trades union
but without the stability OF a continuing and
responsible organization.
But II ia not this evasion of the trades union
that will receive most consideration or most
study OF Mr.. Rockefellers plan. He has gone
far beyond the contract for hours, wages and
conditions" usually comprehended by a wage
agreement and has made elaborate arrange
ments for the care and oversight OF the com
panys employees in their private and communal
life. His philanthropic soicitude is manifest In
desire to improve scientifically the life OF the
men on his payroll, regardless OF their earning
spacity. Under the following provision OF the
joint agreement now awaiting ratification:
The presidents executive assistani shall also
ercise general lei the sanitary medcd
educat onal rel sious soc and other like needs Of
the different Industrial communities, with view OF
seeing that such needs suitably adcq ate'
provided for and the several activities pertaining
thereto hsrmoniously conducted.
As the company ls to bear all the expense OF
carrying out the agreement in any of it's several
phases the part OF the employees being merely
TO voice general complaints or desires the pos
sibiity for the establishment of better conditions
under this plan Is Its most prominent feature.
For this reason Its operation will be awaited and
observed by all an exceptional experiment in
industrial relations.

The War in Fiction

IL would seem that with the rising tide OF
war fiction we have entered the second stage Of
the influence OF the war on literature.
The first eruption OF European war books
resembed the outpouring of heavy artillery--it
surfeited us with ponderous and serious discus
sions OF the causes OF the war. with dissertations
on the art OF war-making. inquiries into the
ethics and psychology of war, and personal mar
ratives of the experiences OF marooned Amer
lean tourists or of special correspondents hover
ing around the edges OF the war zone. But now
we have the beginnings of q different type of
war Instrumentation with war background
OF ruin and carnage and stories built about the
military hero. The war fiction. having first
found its way into the magazines Is becoming
pretentlous enough now TO take on book form
The theme to be sure. is still too serious to per-
init of light treatment. and the humor must be
carefully guarded. But the threads Of love and
danger, of courage and pathos are as readily
woven on the framework Of the present Euro
pean conflict as heretofore around our cam
paigns in the Philippines, and before that
around our civil war episodes
The writer OF fiction never had material of
more absorbing human interest to work on than
Is presented by the great war, and It will be
surprising II several great masterpieces for all
the ages are not soon nodded from the outpour-
