BLAMED FOR MINE STRIKES
Industrial Relation Body's Findings
Urge State Charters of Corpora
items Be ReVoked-Founda-
tions to Aid.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-Direct charges
are made in a report by two investi-
gators to the United States commits
sion on industrial relations that John
D. Rockefeller and the Standard Oil
company not only agree with other
employers to keep wages as low as
possible-in fact, to point insufficient
to provide families with necessities
but that they provide no means where
by the men may present and have
heard their complaints and grievances.
George P. West and c. T. Chenery,
the investigators, turned in these find
ings on the Bayonne, N. j., strike,
just before the commission held its
last session.
Employees of the commission will

upon and forward them to the clerk

Allegations In Report.
After declaring that the facts
learned are significant because they
display the manner in which the lar
gest estate in the world, that of Mr..
Rockefeller, controls its industry
through it's enormous power, Mr.. West
and Mr.. Chenery make these state
ments as findings of fact:
1. The Standard Oil company of
New Jersey, although conducting an
enormously profitable enterprise, pays
wages too low to maintain a family
on a comfortable, healthful and decent
basis.
2. It fixes wages not with relation
to the earnings of the company, but
by taking into consideration wages
paid by other companies in the same
locality and then fixing the wage as
low or lower than the prevailing wage
III that locality.
8. In it's plants at Bayonne the com
pany maintains what General Manager
Clifford described as almost navy
yard discipline" The employees,
most of whom are Poles and Lithu,
anians, are regarded as incapable OF
enjoying the benefits of democratic
organization of the labor force, and
as requiring a very firm control.
4. The company maintains a set
tied policy for refusing to- deal with
any labor organization or profession
al labor man. and even refuses to
permit those employees who cannot
speak English intelligibly to engage
an attorney as their spokesman or
representative. The men are made
to understand that they must seek
no outside assistance in their deal
ings with the management, and that
any show of independence or any hint
of compulsion will be vigorously re-
scented.
s. AS a substitute for permitting
it's men to organize and to enjoy the
benefits of afiliation with a strong
labor organization, the company has
instituted no machinery by which real
or fancie6 grievances may be adjust.

ASSUMING that an automobile stands
in a GARAGE 80 per cent out of each
twenty four hours, what would be the
saving in casing expense providing the
car was put on jacks and kept off the
tires during the time it was not in use?
The amount Of money you might
save by lacking up the wheels when
the car is not in use is too small to be
measured, providing there is no oil or
water on the garage floor that might
cause the rubber to deteriorate. The
reduction in pressure and consequent
lessened strain on the castings when
this is done is almost infnitesimal, al
though it is. popularity supposed that
relieving the tires from the burden OF
supporting the car must necessarily
relieve them from just that much
strain and that therefore they will
wear longer if the car is lacked up.
The reduction in pressure when this is
done is exactly inversely proportional
to the increase in volume of the tube.
When, the tire is supporting the car
weight it f1attens slightly and one
might say, imperceptibly, if the tires
are pumped up as hard as they should
be. The fiattening of the tire causes
small decrease in the volume of the air
in the tube and therefore when the tire
is raised off the ground it regains its
normal shape and normal volume. 1t
is obvious that this small change in
volume will not affect the pressure to
any extent. since the decrease in pres
sure is inversely proportional to the in
crease in volume. And since the de-
crease in pressure is almost incom-
measurable the lessened strain and
consequent saving in tire cost is meal
culable.

ADVICE TO AUTO OWNERS.

Does an engine deliver more or less
power to wheels with friction trans
mission and chain drive than through
the ordinary bevel gears?
The efficiencies of the sliding gear
set with the shaft drive and the fric-
ton transmission with chain drive are
approximately equal on the higher
gear ratios, but when the friction
wheel is brought near the center of
the disk the slippage of the inside
edge of the wheel, due to the small
circle it is travelling on, causes a pow
er loss that is greater than when the
low gear of the sliding gear set is en-
gagged.

A MANLY STAND.

In the current issue Of "The
Tribune-Herald" of Chisholm,
Mimi, the editor and publisher,
Frank G. Harris, does not mince
words in speaking Of the Mexican
situation. He says:
"The Tribune-Herald firmly adj
vocates peace. Not peace at any
price,, for there are occasions
when peace is dishonorable, cow
ardly, selfish and unworthy. When
a peoples liberty, religion, or
hearth is threatened, when its
women are insulted and defiled,
then war is right. The thought
has been suggested by the brutali-
ties committed in Mexico on the
nuns and priests of the Catholic
Church, OH men and women whose
mission has been spiritual and for
the uplift Of an unenlightened
people-a people whose oppression
can be directly traced to want OF
religion, want Of the application
Of the golden rule taught by the
missionaries Of the Catholic
Church and all other churches, for
that matter. The Mexican rebels
have been guilty of the most afro
cious conduct toward the nuns
and priests and young girl stu
dents in the converts. "
He then cites passages from Mr..
Roosevelt's article to show the
length to which the bandit-leaders
Of Mexico and their brutal follow
ers have gone in their treatment
ofpriests and nuns, and concludes +:
We venture to say there are
millions of young, strong, active,
able-bodied men in this country
who would be thankful for the
chance to go to Mexico and lay
down their lives in defense of the
nuns, priests and other citizens
who have been outraged by the
hordes of half-civilized greasers
composing the people Of the south
ern republic. No compulsion
would be necessary. Volunteers
might be called for, and again we
venture the opinion that so many
would offer themselves for service
that the difficulty would be to hold
them back. An end to such bar
barities must come and if it re-
quircs war to stop them, then let
us have war. Let us clean up this
black spot ON the American con-
tinent. Women and children must
not be outraged without an effort
to protect them"

Father Welsh's experience in

AN EFFECTIVE REMEDY FOR
INTEMPERANCE.

In a letter to the National Sec
rotary of the Intercollegiate Pro-
hibition Association, Secretary of
State Bryan declares that total
abstinence is the most effective
remedy for the evils Of the liquor
traffic; and all who have made
even a cursory study OF the prob
lem must agree with him. This
remedy strikes at the very root of
the evil itself, namely, individual
indulgence. The individual is the
central pivot around which the
drink traffic circulates and unless
he can be persuaded that it is Tor
his own personal welfare not even
to "look upon the wine when it is
yellow" his redemption from the
slavery Of king alcohol is practic-
ally impossible.
All other proposed remedies,
such as prohibition, local option,
ETC., no matter how good they
may be as means OF lessenlng
the evils that Turk in the flowing
bowl, fail to touch the vital spot
of the whole question. For If a
craving for drink persists in the
individual, he will "find a way or
make it" to crafty his appetite,
despite drastic legal restrictions.
OF course, the millennium of uni
versal, or even general, total alb
stinence is not an immediate pros
pect; but every effort in that di-
rection is worthy Of support by all
who realize, if not from personal
experience. at least from the
downfall Of numerous friends and
acquaintance, how great is the
physical, moral and intellectual
ruin that must be laid at the door
of the drink habit.

leadership of men Of public spirit,
like these non-Catholic journal
lists, it ought not to be a difficult
task to make the fair-minded and

place-if the poor man had the price;
there's a balmy smile on the bar

designed to brighten our darkened

halfway blind, in humor to beat our
wives. So hey for the wicker demi-
john, and the free-lunch brand of
grub! Well wassail hold till the break
of dawn, we friends of the poor mans
club! It's here we barter our bits of
news in our sWeat-stained hand-me-
downs; it's here we swallow the chill
dren's shoes and the housewives hats
and gowns. It's here we mortgage
the house and lot, the horse. and the
muley COW; the poor mans club is a
cheerful spot, so open q bottle nowi
From trimming glasses we'll blow the
foam till the midnight hour arrives,
when we'll gaily journey the long way
home and merrily beat our wives. We
earn our dimes like the horse or OK,
we toll like the tabled steer, and then
we journey a dozen blocks to blow in
the dimes for beer. While the women
work at the washing tub to add to orr
scanty hoard, we happily meet at the
poor mans club, where never a soul
is bored. We recklessly squander our
minted Drawn, and the clubhouse
owner thrives; and we'll homeward
go at the break of dawn and joyously
beat our wives.

CHURCH UNITY OCTAVE.

The "Church Unity Octave"
propaganda, inaugurated some
years ago by the Fathers of the
Atonement at Greymoor, n. Y,
will be observed this year be-
tween january Is and %. Dur
ing this period we are asked to
pray for real lasting peace and
unity among all the disciples of
the One Lord and Master. The
war in Europe, the anarchy and
Satanic persecution in Mexico, the
outbreak of bigoted hatred of
faith and virtue in this country,
are the fatal effects Of a lack of
religious unity, and ought to move
every sincere Christian to do all
Ill his power to restore the reign
OF peace on earth.
In working and praying for
Unity we shall be following the
example of our Blessed Savior
Himself. st. John, in his Gospel,
gives the beautiful and touching
prayer uttered by our Lord the
night before He died, in the course
of which He said: And not for
them only (the Disciples do /
pray, but for them alsc who
through their word shall believe
in Me; that they may all be one,
as Thou, Father, in Ne, and | in
Thee; that they also may be one
in us; that the world may believe
that Thou hast sent Me- (&VH.
20-21) Thus by working and
praying for unity, we shall be do
ing our own share to make the
light of Christ shine among men,
and to win them to the truth for
the glory of God and the Savior.
The rapid spread of this idea
throughout the United States and
England shows that it has the
blessing of God upon it., and that
it appeals to the deepest and holt
est feelings of the Catholic heart.
1t is a work of apostolic zeal 1t
has the approval of many mem
bers of the American Hierarchy
and of Cardinal Falconio who rep
resented the Holy See in this
country when the proposal first
assumed practical shape 1t is
practiced by many devout Cath
olics, both lay and religious,
throughout America.
This year there are reasons why
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1915-01-16

it should spread till it becomes
general among American Catho-
lics-the reasons already alluded
to, the great war, the Mexican
troubles, the systematic attack
upon religion and civilization in
many parts of the country.
During this "Unity Octave" we
are urged to pray for the CONVEX
sion of heretics, infidels and lapsed
Catholics, in fact, to do privately
what the Church does with special
solemnity on Good Friday-pray
for the conversion Of the whole
world. Prayer is the most power
full weapon that man can WELD
against the forces Of darkness and
sin. To prayer we are recon-
mended to add simple practices of
penance and self-denial, charity
to the poor and daily Communion
for this great intention. We ought
also heed the words Of Our Saw
Tor: $50 let your light shine be-
fore men, that they may see your
good works, and glorify your
Father Who is in heaven. (Matt.
V, 16).
In spite of prejudice, in spite of
the organized campaign Of cal
Ulmny, the silent sermon Of virtu-
GUS Catholic lives is bound to tell
in the long run. 1t is working in
the secret recesses Of mems hearts
even now, and on the battlefields
ef Europe as well as in che peace
full homes of America, the lesson
is sinking in quietly but surely.
The good seed is being sown
everywhere. In answer to fervent
prayer the showers Of divine grace
will bring it to maturity and fit
ness for the Kingdom Of Christ.
In our prayers we ought not to
forget the words OF Christ: HThe
harvest indeed is great, but the
laborers are few. Pray we there
fore the Lord Of the harvest, that
He send forth laborers into his
harvest. Matt. TX, 37-38.) This
prayer for vocations to the work
Of the Apostolate is needed today
more, perhaps, than in any other
age Of the worlds history. The
war has almost crippled the re-
sources of our foreign missions,
and there are many poor missions
in this country which loudly call
for aid. Here is an excellent way
to give aims and practise a little
self-denial for the intention of the
