Letters Bare "InSide"
OF Colorado Troubles
Evidence Shows John D. Rockefeller, Jr, Drafted
Article That He Suggested For Use in "a Let
ter From Governor Ammons to
President Wilson,"

see Major Boughton next Tuesday"
Major Boughton was an officer OF the

to Rockefeller July 2. in which there
was this passage:
Satisfied With Draft.
with reference to the letter for
Governor Ammons, I am not entirely
satisfied with the draft I prepared
and am making certain amendments
to 1t. I sent out a draft for discus
sion. but Will get II Into shape In a
few days and then send you a copy.
The idea is-and 1t Is a difficult idea
to execute-to prepare a brief state
ment Of the case which will command
public attention rather than to make
comprehensive review of the situa-
tion." No further reference to this
article Is made.
The letters brought out the publicity
plan arranged by Mr.. Lee which was
to send out bulletins to the press and
public men. similar Mr.. Lee said. ito
the leaflets we issued in connection
with the recent campaign to increase
freight rates 8 per cent" These bull
letins later were issued.
One letter written on June 1S TO
Mr.. Rockefeller by Mr.. Lee inclosed
letters from Harry A. Wheeler, of
Chicago. referring to the publica-
ton on weekly basis AMI with many
additional features of The Nations
Business by the Chamber Of Com

day later Mr.. Lee wrote Mr.. Rockefeller
efeller, Mr.. Leee said he would take
the first opportunity to call on Mr..
Wheeler" He added:
IT do not believe. however, that I
will ever come to the point OF think
ing that you should establish and
become responsible for a string of
daily newspapers"

Lee to the witness stand, as we'll as
Mr.. Rockefeller. and inquire further
into the publicity plan ana the dispo-

The Washington times., 1915-05-17

Documentary evidence that John d.
Rockefeller, jr.. drafted an article on
Colorado labor conditions which he
suggested might be used In "a letter
from Governor Ammons to President
Wilson" is given in letters made public
by the Commission on Industrial Rela-
tions today.
The letters were furnished to the
commission by Ivy l.. Lee. publicity
agent for the Rockefeller interests, and
deal at length with a publicity cam
paign planned to aid the Colorado Fuel
anc Iron Company, the Rockefeller
coal interest in Colorado.
This correspondence will form the
basis for Mr.. Rockefeller's exanina-
ton when he Is recalled to testify be-
fore the commission tomorrow.
Under date of June 10. 1914, there ts .
letter from Mr.. Rockefeller to Mr.. lee.
In which Mr.. Rockefeller inclosed q
swer articles published by Upton SIM
clair and Prof. John Bates Clark.
"Rough and Incomplete"
Mr.. Rockefeller said his memorandum
was trough and incomplete and only
suggestive" but he decided. after con-
ference with his colleagues. not to use it
in answer to the Sinclair and Bates
articles.
Several points In my memorandum,
however" he wrote, could we'll, even
more appropriately be used In the letter
from Governor Ammons to President
Wilson which you are proposing to pre-
pare as soon as the Majors memo
randum reaches you. which I hope will
be very shortly"
Under the date Of June11. there is a
letter from Mr.. Lee to Mr.. Rockefeller

II am inclined to think that at the
moment the best thing we can do would
be to give the letter from Governor
Ammons to President Wilson our at
tention. and I hope that we can ac-
complish something very soon." Two
days later Mr.. Lee wrote Mr.. Rockefeielr

UNION SEMINARY IS
ABOUT OF CHURCH
Held Not To Be Orthodox Insti-
tuition BY General Assembly
Committee.

NEW YORK, May 17.-Union Theo-
logical Seminary Of this city. storm
center for many years, has been read
out Of the list Of orthodox institutions
by a committee Of the Presbyterian
General Assembly. This information
reached New York in what is called
the blue Book" issued for use of com
missioners to the assembly. The same
committee also read the seminary out
Of the Presbyterian church.
Speculation is widespread now about
the probable effect this action will have
on the New York Presbytery and the
course the Forthcoming assembly may
take toward It.
The committee was named by the
Presbyterian General Assembly and is
composed Of clergymen and lawyers
who have spent two years at the task.
The committee was named to find out
whether there might not again be off,
cial relations between the Presby-
terian church and the seminary.
Indictment by Committee.
The committee brings this Indictment:
There Is no mention by the Union
Seminary directors Of the Bible as the
supreme and final authority in theologi-
cal controversy; no mention of the vir-
Gin birth of Jesus; no mention in par
ticular that Jesus offered Himself as a
sacrifice to satisfy divine justice and to
reconcile us to Cod; no mention of the
bodily resurrection Of Christ, nor Of the
working Of miracles by Him: all of
which were declared by the assembly of
1910 to be essential doctrines of the
Word OF God and the Presbyterian
standards.
1T has been a cause Of disturbance
and distress in some parts of our
church." the committee continues. that
graduates Of Union Seminary, seeking
ordination, have been exceedingly vague
openly unbeiieving conc coneernIns ngS'ti these se
particular doctrines which are declared
to be essentia! and necessary"
,nitS IN iso when the new and old schools
cial relations with the Presbyterian
church. A little more than twenty
years later, when it severed these rela-
lions and the assembly declined to agree,
no right In 1870 tc make the contract
they did make-to become a part of the
Presbyterian seminary system.
Root of Controversy.
Authorities at Union Theological Semi
nary refused to comment on the "Buc
Book" report. 1t was asserted, how
ever. In behalf of the seminary that the
committees report Is an ex parte state
ment by members of tho General AS
sembly who have opposed Union Semi
nary since the Briggs case twenty
years ago. In support of his contention
It was pointel out that the report makes
no recommendations to the general as
h,,t civ ~
ates and professors of the institution.
The root Of the controversy is said to
be the fact that Union Seminary has
maintained its INSTRUMENTATION char
acter Independent Of the Presbyterian
Church, having on its faculty profess
sors Of evangelical churches other than
Presbyterian.

The People and War.

We endorse the words of an ex-
change which says the people pay the
cost of war--the cost in every way.
They furnish the sons and husbands
who are shot down. They supply the
fields that are trampled and the build
ings that are riddled. Out of their
substance comes the money that is
wasted--a sum now equal to $1,000, 900
an hour as 1t has been figured. They
assume the fearful debts to paw in the
future and for generations to come
they will take little out of each days
labor and little out of each bushel OF
grain to help in the payment. 1t is
the business of the people that is ruin
ed. 1t Is the hearts of the people that
are broken. II is the door posts of the
people that that are marked with the
badge OF mourning. And when it is
all over, the people gain nothing.
Some general becomes immortal as
fighting man. Some king struts in
increased glory across the stage. Some
orator boasts of the glories which have
come to his country. But when all is
said and done, war is a miserable
business. 1t is cruel. wasteful and
illogical. After the cataelysm in
Europe is over, and the passions OF
men have cooled. and judgment re-
turns to her throne, it will be up to
the people who have done the suffer
ing, and who have made the sacrifice
and who have sent their sons to un-
timely graves. TO rise in their might
and say, in thunoering tones, that war
shall be no more.
