MEMBERS OF UNIoN.-SEcRET
BALLOT TO BE TAKEN.

Pueblo.-Granting practically every
point which any labor union ever
asked, with the one exception of rec
ognition of the union, which, he says
is not an impossible thing of the fu
ture, and voluntarily offering certain
betterments in advance of union de-
mands, even to the promise of a peri
odical to report the doings of com
pany and employees, John d. Rockefel
Ter, Jr.. gave out here to a meeting OF
miners representing his employees the
text Of the Rockefeller Industrial
Plan" by which he and his associates
hope to bring about permanent indus
trial peace in the mining camps of
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company.
In brief the Rockefeller plan for con-
tinuance of friendly relations between
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
and its employees is as follows:
Wages always in proportion to those
paid in other competitive districts.
Opportunity to air grievances. real
or fancied, and the broadcast scheme
Of arbitration where company and
men cannot get together.
The right OF the men to belong to
labor unions IL they wish. and no dis
elimination against them If they do.
No discharges of men except for vi
olations Of printed and posted rules
or of state laws, and then usually
only after a second offense.
The company and the men each to
choose representatives to frequent con-
ferences at which all questions OF
working and living conditions, social
and industrial betterment, camp SAN
itation, doctors and hospitals. mine
safety. education and recreation, shall
be discussed
A system of appeals on grievances
either real or fancied, by which an en-
ploye may take his case to various of.
ficers of the company, and even to the
State Industrial Commission for set
tlement
Assurance that the company heads
will at all times work with the men
for the communal good. and invite
suggestions. criticisms and complaints
which are for the common welfare.
The plan was presented by Mr..
hOchelelleT III peTsoH " TepI pIeseht-
atives OF the miners from every Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron Company camp in
the state. The representatives were
elected by the workmen themselves at
secret meetings from which all COM
pany representatives were barred. The
plan as proposed calls for the con-
tinuance of this representative system
in dealings between employe and en-
ployer. and the same secrecy which
the employees enjoyed in choosing the
men to represent them at yesterdays
conference will be adhered to. as 1t is
a part of the new Rockefeller plan.
After thorough discussion the
plan was adopted. 1t will now be re-
ferred for approval to the board Of di-
rectors of the company on the one
hand and to the company's miners at
the several camps on the other hand.
II the plan is adopted by both factions
it becomes binding and will be recog-
nized virtually as constitution for
the new government of labor and
capital in the company's mines in
Colorado. -- -fF -r
