AT THE MERCY OF LORD
ROCKEFELLER

w. l.. Mackenzie King, who has
charge of the sociological work of the
Rockefeller Foundation, frankly urges
a benevolent despotism as solution Of
the labor question. Mr.. King made
this clear in his statement to the com
mission on industrial relations at
Washington. He declared that the
Colorado miners and all other work
ers would be better off if a few peo-
pie "of the right kind" had control of
their destiny. He advised the COM
mission and other public authorities
to persuade Rockefeller to do the
right thing" and not demand that he
do it.
In other words Mr.. Rockefeller's
agent declares his principal should be
recognized as rightfully holding over
labor the power of an oriental despot.
If Labor wants anything from him it
must humbly beseech. Should Mr..
Rockefeller happen to be in a good ma
tured mood at the time he might gra-
cously grant the request. And Mr..
King warns against the consequences
of trying to disturb such a situation.
Such declaration may be startling.
1t certainly ought to be. The work
ers are informed that the only word
they have to say regarding the terms
on which they may dispose of their
labor is a word of humble prayer to
gracious Lord Rockefeller and other
lords of the same kind.
But startling as such a declaration
may be- is it not true? With oppor-
tunities for labor monopolized by a
few, the many must depend on the
monopolists for permission to earn a
living. While such monopoly is al
lowed to last undisturbed, workers
must either humbly take whatever
may be graciously given them, or take
chances on being turned out to starve.
This chance they take when they or
ganiZe to force better terms than the
Lord Rockefelers see fit to grant, or
try in other ways to resist without
disturbing the source of their power.
There is another method open which
Labor has been slow to use. 1t is to
use their votes so as to destroy the
nopolize natural resources. If they
were to show a serious disposition to
make such use of their votes, it is not
probable that any such arrogant decla-
ration as made by Mackenzie King
would be made. AS long as they re-
fuse to use their votes to put an end
to land monopoly, they will be at the
mercy of the Rockefellers.

HOW DOES IT HAPPEN?
BY JOHN F. MacKEY

BY JOHN F. MacKEY
How does it happen that Andrew Car
Maggie
From poor bobbin boy rose to live
like lord,
And along with the gift he conferred
on The Hague, he
Can scatter huge sums DER the world
from his hoard?
Canny Scotch Andy, in youth, learned
that pelf
Comes by working others-not work
ing yourself.
How does it happen that Doubled Hill
Owns vast railway systems and en-
pires in land;
Did he gather these through his I'M
conquerable will
And his much Wanted genius to plan
and command?
Ask his Dutch bondholders,-note
what they say,
And the judges and senators kept in
his pay.
How does it happen that John D.
-FELL'-er
Arose to a Croesus with meteor-like
flash,
Whose pile mounts so high that the
space inter-stellar
In time will be filled with his stocks,
bonds, and cash?
John D. found out that the way to be
best
Is look out for yourself and to h with
the rest.
How does it happen that poor Henry
Dubb
Works early and late for a pitiful
wage
To secure mere mite of cheap clothes
and mean grub
And a chance to be kicked out to
starve in old age?
Poor Henry Dubb has been broken
away
To be honest and faithful, to serve
and obey.

the principal features of the industrial
accident problem. Statistics of indus
trial diseases are also included, but

reporting, classification, and tabula-
ton of industrial accidents in the
United States, initiated for the pur-
pose of securing uniformity of prac-
tice in order that the reports of the
various states may be compared and
combined, and thus contribute in the
largest degree to the solution of the
industrial accident problem for the
entire country.

Accidents Decreasing.

Workmen's compensation legislation
will necessarily lead to an increase in
the reported number of accidents, par
ticularly those of less serious char
acter, involving a comparatively short
incapacity for work, but compensa'
ton legislation may also be expected
to bring about notable reductions in
the actual numbers of accidents, for
wherever aggressive accident proven
ton work has been undertaken, 1t has
been found that great reductions in
the number of accidents have been
effected, often exceeding saving of
one-half.
A large part of the bulletin is de-
voted to the analysis and discussion
of the recent accident statistics of
Illinois, Massachusetts. New York and
Wisconsin, with reference to the in
dustries in which industrial accidents
are most numerous, the duration of
the accident disabilities, the nature of
injuries, and especially to the causes
of the accidents. Much more briefly

the following facts: In Greater New

New York, Jan. 29.--James A. Oil.
more. president OF the Federal League,
declared today that the independents
want nothing more from organized
baseball than to be let alone.
The Federal League" continued Mr..
Gilmore. has never tried and is not
trying to ruin the principles upon
which organized baseball was con-
structed. 1t Is not DESTROYS of shat

But 1t does believe and hopes to be
able to prove that a far moro equita-
BILE and Just working agreement be-
tween promoter and player should ex-
list than at present maintains in so-
called organised baseball
To illustrate his point, Mr.. Gilmore
went into great detail. spectalising
particularly upon individual cases, such
as those OF Walter johnson and Ray
Caldwell. He declared that the suit In
Chicago had as an object tho retention
of these disputed men by the indepen-
dents and the auashing Of legal actions
throughout the various State courts IN
which the rival leagues operated Of the
many suits for players recovery and
damages that had been brought
we have not instituted the suit In
Chicago" he said. "ss a measure OF
war. We do not want war. We de.
sire nothing more than peace and quiet
ness. We have maintained from the
first that there In room for three ma
jor leagues. We still believe Il and
are ready to prove 1t.
1t was pointed out to Mr.. Gilmore
that the dozen or more players tor
whom the Federals are making such q
spirited fight were without exceptions
athletes who had been lured away from
organized baseball by the independents
Gilmore's defense was that these men
either took advantage of the ten-day
clause in their contracts or had been
automatically made tree agents by the
failure of their employers serving no.
tice of an intention to exercise option
