The effect of this rule on organ
lied labor can be best appreciated
when it is recalled that only re
Gently special committee, repre-
senting the United Mine Workers
Of America, issued a public state
ment to John u. Rockefeller, j.,
containing this challenge:
Since the Strike was called off
last December this con pany (Colo-
orado Fuel and Iron) has stead
fastly refused to re employ men
who we're still affiliated with the
union, and we defy Mr.. Rookie
feller to produce from his entire
working force in southern Colorado
dozen men who are members Of
the union.
Wages and working conditions
are to remain the same until Jam
uary | 1918, but if increases are
are made in competitive districts
prior 10 that time a joint meeting
Of company officials and representa-
tives Of the men shall be called 10
make effective propol tionate In
creases" in the properties of Colo.
rado Fuel end Iron. This is an
other way Of sa ing that wages
will remain the same until the date
specified unless the miners union
entrees betterments elsewhere
Then it will be necessary to meet
these bettermenls that the union
gains no foothold in this section.
In other words, the hackers of
the Rockefeller union announce
that working conditions will be
guided by the Mine Workers un-
icn. This declaration is an ac-
Acknowledgement that the union is
still force to be recKoned with;
that it creates the standard for
working conditions, and that there
is constant danger that employees
may become dissatisfied with the
methods of band-picked representa-
tives intended to supplant the right
of men to elect their own officials
end checkweighmen without su-
'ervisiori by mine superinteldents.
The entire cost of the plan is to
be borne by the company.
The Rockefeller union is an
other link in the historic chain of
trade union opp sition that grows
weaker and weaker when confron-
ted by determined agitation and or
ganization by the workers. This
opposition was first shown when
workers were jailed as conspirators
il they dared to organize bona fde
unions. Later, the "open shop"
plan was favored IN the hope that
trade unionism would be checked.
This, likewise, proved ineffective
and anti unionist will now PROBABLY
accept the Rockefeller brand Of
'unionism," which means that an
employer will permit" collective
bargaining with union he finances
and will permit" presentation of
grievances through representatives
satisfactory to him.
This plan, together with increas-
ed welfare work and clubhouses
will, It is expected, keep workers
from legitimate trade unions, where
they are taught to own themselves
and assert their manhood and in
dependence.

Members Permitted" to Hold Meetings and
Present Grievances

Pueblo, Colo, Oct. 15.-The
many tragedies that have been wit
messed il this state during the
workers battle for economic jus
tice are now supplanted by comedy
Rockefeller uuion -oficered
by men approved by the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company, and f.
nanoed by this same concern.
With due solsmnity the scheme
was launched in this city last week,
and is the elimination of a spec
tacular visit through southern Col
orado BY John D. Rockefeller, Jr,
aud his publicity agent, Mackenzie
King, accom- anied by newspaper
men and photographers.
Plans Tor the new union were
perfected at a meeting Of officers
of the company and so represent
atives Of the workers. OF course
the union" was unanimously in
dorsed and mine superintendents
were given copies Of the plan to
submit same to miners, who have
had the scheme explained to them
BY mine officials, after which it
was indorsed by referendum"
vote.
Mr. Rockefeller aud his friends
hail the new movement as the 6ual
solution of differences between cap
itaI and labor. The United Mine
Workers union is NOT recognized,
but it is limited, indirectly, that
conditions may change This
clever appeal Of the mine operators
to be left alone in their effort to
supplant a trade union will not be
successful.
The plan provides that every $50
miners shall be entitled to repre-
sentative, elected by the miners.
An elaborate program of present
ing grievances is included, as is
committees to increase efficiency
and social welfare work.
At the election for representa-
tives, each miner shalt be per-
mitled' to freely discuss his griev-
ance. Especial attention is called
to this astounding concession on
the part OF Mr.. Rockefeller and his
associates, who have driven from
the southern Colorado coal fields
every worker who protested being
forced 10 patronize company stores
and who objected to being robbed
by company check weighmen.
The company promises 10 obey
all federal and state laws, which is
another concession, as the Colorado
Fuel and Iror company's disregard
for these statutes caused the recent
strike of miners.
Employees "are given the right'
to hold meetings and shall have
The right" to employ their own
checkweighmen. The right 10 hire
and discharge remains with the
company, and it is further provided
that:
"There shall be no DISSEMINATION
BY the company or by any one Of
its employees on account Of mem
bership or nonmembership in any
society, fraternity, or union"

To Award Road Contracts

The State Roads Commission Tues
terday announced that within the next
Jews days contracts would be awarded
for oiling seven sections of the State
roads system, or about ATS miles. 1t
is calculated that 1,278, 300 gallons of
oil will be used ia the work. The oil
is laid with stone chips as part of the
general scheme of roads maintenance.
Chips now are being hauled to the
several sections. In this connection,
the commission Tuesday made state
ment, which reads in part:
"Our State truck is engaged in haul
ing out stone chips on the Washington
Annapolis Boulevard and for Hartford
and Baltimore counties, which work
amounts to approximately 10000 tons.
Local material is being got out for the
work in st Mary's, Charles and Prince
Georges counties. The total amount
of stone chips being placed along
the State roads noun S
to approximately $4,000 tons. The re-
spouse to the advertisement for bids
was most gratifying and tits estimated
that the saving to the State by having
this work done by contract at this
season of the year, when other con
tract work is practically at standstill
will be between $4,000 and $4,000"
