TEXT OF OIL KINGS
OFFER TO MINERS
Contract Provides for Collective
Bargaining for Term of Years
Without Discrimination.
FOUR PROVISIONS OF SCHEME

PUEBLQ- Cola. Oct. 2.-Collec-
tive bargaining, insured by a con-
tract signed and sealed for term OF
years, was promised today by John
ID. Rockefeller, jr., to the employees
OF the Colorado Fuel and Iron CON-
pany. The contract was embodied
in the industrial plan submitted by
Mr.. Rockefeller at meeting of off,
GERS of the company and grievance
representatives from the various coal
camps. The plan carries a guaran-
tee against discrimination against
members of any union, but does not
provide for recognition OF the United
Mine Workers of America.
The Industrial system outlined at the
conference is looked upon as the Rookie
feller answer to the demands of the
United Mine workers-demands which In
1913 led to one of the most bitter indus
trial conflicts in the history Of the coun-
try. Mr. Rockefeller has steadfastly
maintained that his plan is not an at
tack upon unionism. but that it Is
broader and more democratic" than the
system advocated by the miners orgah-
ization.
-Four Points to Scheme.
The Rockefeller plan-formulated by
Mr.. Rockefeller and w. l.. Mackenzie
King, in collaboration with operating
officials of the company-is based upon
the mediation system already in opera
tion. The outline of the plan submitted
to the conference is divided into foul
general sections:
INSTRUMENTATION of employees and the
manner of their selection

tees and joint meetings.
(3)-The prevention and adjustment OF
industrial disputes.

VALUE OF SCHOOL GARDENS
Encourages the Child to Get Int
Close Communion With
Mother Nature.

The value of school gardens in plac-
ing the child in close communion with
Mother Nature cannot be overestimat-
ed. In these times of warfare we re-
call the words of one writer who
asked:
What conQueror in any part Of LIES
battle could desire more beautiful,
more noble or more patriotic monu-
ment than tree planted by the hands
of pure and joyous children?"
Ex-Gov. Curtis Guild OF Massachu-
sets said: Let the children in the
public schools be taught that every
egg they take from the nests Of the
birds means the loss of little friend
Of Massachusetts; means one less
winged crusader, against the gypsy
moth, the brown-tail moth and the
crawling pests that destroy the food
Of the people and the beauty Of the
land. Save the trees! Save the birds
that we may save the trees!" In the
school gardens the children have some
very practical and often painful les
sons regarding damage to plant liff
through destructive insects.

HAS AIDED COUNTRY
lanes J.. Hill Praises New Bank
ing System.
Democratic Measure Has Proved lts
Worth and 10 Now important Fac
tor In Contributing to the
Country's Prosperity.

James j. Hill, the greatest empire
builder in America, spoke recently OF
the financial revolution which has
changed this country from debtor to
a creditor nation in a single year. OF
the possibilities both of gain and dis
aster which such change involves.
and then said:
Fortunately, banking system has
been put into effect which makes 1t
possible for the country to handle its
new interests without disturbance.
That new banking system is the
work of the Democratic party and es-
pecially the work of President Will
son. It was put through in the teeth
of the fiercest opposition from Wall
street. It is standing every test. 1t
saved the country from utter financial
collapse year ago last August and
now it is providing the machinery for
guarding and extending American COM
merce.
1t is working so smoothly that the
country almost forgats it is there.
But the next time any partisan rantef
begins blathering about the Wilson adj
ministration being hostile to bust
ness" i1mind him of the federal re-
serve act and quote the words OF

cav. cha Treas.

The National Highway Protective as
sociation reports that two states have
adopted its legislation to mitigate the
evil of defacing trees, fences and
buildings along public highways with
advertisements. The states that have
shown this wisdom are Rhode Island
and New York. The measure is not
drastic. It merely requires that no
advertisements can be placed on trees,
fences or buildings thanking highways
without the written consent of the
owner. A moderate penalty is Inn
posed for violation. It is not to be
hoped that this will wholly prevent the
evil, but it will exercise a wholesomc
check on its prevalence. Other states
might we'll follow the example,. and
even more drastic legislation would
be in order.
