Steel Maynate on Stand Adopts JoviaI
Mood and Declines to Sit While
Answering Questions.

New York, Feb. 6.-John ID. Rookie
Teller, testifying before the federal
commission on industrial relations, as
serted he would 'be happy to surren-
der his holdings, in whole or in part,
and let the workers have a voice in
the board of directors, just as all 9th
err stockholders do, thus giving them
some Of the profits OF their labor. He
would be very happy also, he said, to
sec the workers his partners in bust
ness.
With Andrew Carnegie, who also
appeared as a witness, Mr.. Rockefeller
joined in defending the foundations
which they have endowed with their
wealth and neither would say he be-
menace to the religious, political or
educational liberty Of the people of
the United States.
A desire to promote the welfare of
mankind and that alone, they said,
prompted them to establish the foun-
dations which bear their names.
Charles A. I-indhergh, representa-
tive in congress from Minnesota, pre-
coded Mr.. Carnegie on the witness
stand. He gave it as his opinion that
there should be taken from banks the
exclusive privilege OF controlling mon
ely and credit which they have by
government authority"
Audience Mostly Toilers.
Widely different was the manner in
which Messrs. Rockefeller and Carne-
gle faced the commission. The audi
ence was composed largely Of repre-
sentatives Of labor, Socialists, indi-
vidualists and members of the Indus
trial Workers Of the World.
Mr.. Carnegie went to the witness
stand from a seat in the audience.
He declined to sit while reading an.
swers to a list Of questions submitted
by the commission or while he was
being Intercepted. He was in a
jovial mood.
The answers he gave to questions
caused the audience and the commits
sioners to oar with laughter more
than once. Mr.. Carnegie enjoyed
that. When he left the stand he said
he had not spent such a pleasant af-
ternoon in many years.
Mr.. Rockefeller was assisted to the
stand by members of his personal
staff. Seating himself with much diff
ficulty he started to read his
His voice was scarcely audible. Mr..
Rockefeller appeared to have aged
much since giving testimony in pub
lie last.
