TIVE STANDARD OIL STRIKE

1t is to be regretted that the
Standard Oil employees at Bayonne,
whenever they go on strike, at once
resort to violence, and thereby lose
much of the public sympathy that is
/ SO plainly with them in their demand
for better wages and improved work.
| ing conditions.
Less than a month ago the New
York newspapers carried display
stories to the effect that Standard Oil
stocks had advanced to more than
$4,000 a share. The fact was brought
out that with this advance John D.
Rockefeller, founder and largest
stockholder of the company, became
a Millionaire. The next day by an
other jump in valuations, $4,000, 900
wealth.
1t is impossible for the average
man to realize what an increase of
sS,000,000 a day means, and even
Rockefeller himself Is unable to com
preheud It, But thus the great cor
poration goes on piling up money for
its stockholders while, at the same
time, the masses of men employed IN
the refineries and oil works of the
concern are shaving along at almost
starvation wages. with long hours and
under the most intolerable conditions
Some people are inclined to praise
the Rockefellers for their philan-
thropic work when they read that the
father and son together have given
away sums estimated at nearly
5000, 100000. of which $50, 0,00O, 900
has gone to the General Educational
Board; nearly s3O,O0O,000 to the
University of Chicago; $4,000, 900 to
the Rockefeller Institute for Medical
Research and $6,OO0,000 to the Rush
Medical College. About $4,000, 900
has been contributed to various relief
works by the Rockefeller Foundation
since the war began. But all of this
loses its force when we realize that
the employees of this company are
being held down to a mere existence.
How much better all this generosity
on the part of the Rockefellers would
be received by the public If it were
known that. first of all, this enor-
mously rich corporation was taking

,publican campaign.

Woodrow Wilson stands squareiy
on his record, and that is record of
achievement seldom equalled in tho
history of this country. His is con-
sary to show the people what has
been accomplished during the Wilson
administration to convince them that
the President is entitled to another
term as reward for faithful service,
IL for no other reason.
We have the utmost respect and
admiration for Charles F.. Hughes.
We believe him to be a man of high
character and possessing great ability.
But as excellent a man as Mr.. Hughes
is, it has not yet been explained why
we should throw out of office a man
who is equally high principled and
who has shown a mastery construc-
tive craftsmanship during such
critical time, particularly now when
our first duty as a nation is to show
firm and united front to Europe,
and make it known to all the world
that we propose to see this crisis
through along the line of the policies
already established by this govern
ment.
1t will be noticed that very little
has been said by the opponents of
Mr.. Wilson about the constructive
legislation enacted during the Wilson
administration. Yet this legislation
marks one of the greatest epochs in
slider under what trying circum-
stances it was all accomplished, we
can the more appreciate what the
Wilson administration has done for
the country in domestic affairs, while
at the same time, handling the most
intricate and difficult problems aris-
ing out of our foreign relations
AS means of bringing before our
readers the full meaning of some of
the constructive legislation that has
been accomplished under the present
administration, the EVENING NEWS
begins. today. series of articles set
ting forth the work that has been
done. These articles are written by
men who have been closely identified
with the legislation thus enacted and
who are authorities on the subjects
handled.
There will be nothing of a destruc-
tive nature about these articles. They
will present the true spirit of the
Wilson administration; they will show
the real progressive tendencies, prov
ing what the EVENING NEWS has
claimed from the time the Wilson
forces were victorious in the struggle
years ago. that the nomination of
Woodrow Wilson showed that, where
as the progressive element in the
Republican party lost at Chicago four
years ago, being forced to go out and
organize party of their own, the
progressive element in the Democra-
tic party were more successful at
Baltimore and succeeded in wrestling
