 New York, June 1.-There was further decline in the market for coffee futures here today, with most of the active months making new low ground for the movement. Offerings were not heavy, but there was very little demand in evil dence, and after opening at decline of 3 to 5 points, September sold off to S.57c and March to S.84c, or about g to 10 points net lower. Expectations of increased of ferings as the new crow begins to move in Brazil seemed to discourage buying, while sellers were held in check by the present relatively firm price views of pri- mary shippers and prices showed slight rallies on covering in the late trading. The close was to points net lower. Sales, 15,OO0 June. S.4Oc; July, S.47c; Au- gust, S.54c; September, S.6lc october. S65c; November, s.7oc; December, S75c; January, $500; February, S.S5c; March.

Sugar Market

New York, June 1.-The local mark ct for raw sugar was very quiet as far as Cuban grades were concerned, and while prices remained nominally unchanged in the absence of the business, the under tone seemed to be little easier. Some small lots of Cubas were available for prompt shipment at last figures, and even perhaps under, but the unsettled labor situation discouraged buying and no new business was reported. There was a lit tie interest displayed in Porto Rican sugars and a local refiner purihased 25,- GOO bags for prompt shipment at 614c for centrifugal, which represented an ad- vance of 1sc over last previous prices Closing prices for Cubas were 5ssc c. i. f. equal to 6.39c for centrifugal and 5.62 for molasses
 In refined sugar new business was light, but withdrawals on old contracts were more active. stimulated by the better weather. Prices remained unchanged at 7.65c to 7.75c for fine granulated. There were further inquiries from exporters for granulated, but no business was definitely reported, although 1t was generally be- lieved that small lots changed hands yes- terday.
 Futures were easier early in the day under scattered selling by commission houses prompted by the slightly easier tone to the spot market. Prices at one time showed net losses of to points, but toward the close there was some scattered covering and little buying by trade interests and prices regained half the loss, closing 1 to 8 points net lower. July sold from $500 to 5.45c, closing 5.4Sc; i; September 5s51c to 5.45c, closing 5.51c; De- cember .OSc to .07c, closing 5.07c.

public might be led to believe the
plan purely philanthropic and a tire
mendous success The public doesn't
work in the mines or II would know
better
The plan is nothing but an acknowl-
edgement on the part of the Rookie
fellers that the workmen have right
to organize and cannot be prevented
from organizing. As means toward
betterinE the actual conditions of
men. II is as useless as would be any
ether paternalistic system. For cen
turtles free men and men who wanted
TO be free. have been growing away
from paternalism. Even the attempt
cd paternalism of government be
comes irksome. Yet. through this
archaic plan which contains no germ
or seed of modernity. they have tried
to backtrack to those things which
were distasteful in other years.
Employer overawes Employees.
The real substance OF this plan IS
that the employer herds his men to
Fetheg: keeps tab on each. tells them
when. where and how TO meet; at
tends their meetings and overawes
them with his presence: listens TO
their speech. their hopes and their
complaints. Meetings purely of the
men have no place in the plan. Hon
est, open expression of opinion on
working conditions is impossible. Yet
they say the plan is success. The
workmen have no way TO register a
denial. so n part OF the world accepts
the thing by default
The men who dig coal under this
one-sided plan ignore 1t entirely. Some
of them have never attended a meet
ing: numbers OF them have never
read the bylaws. They know It il
only a salve to their inherent man
hood. They tolerate the system be
cause they must.
Yet conditions have been bettered
in the mines and many of the old
abuses no longer prevail. | contend
however. that such betterment is not
due to the Rockefeller plan. The re
cent coal strike forced those changes
The efforts OF union men compelled
the installation of the improvements
They did not want to admit that they
were driven by the unions. So they
conceived of this wcll-advertised plan
Then they brought forth their better
n.ents.

The Rockefeller Plan
BY JOHN McLENNAN
President Colorado State Federation Of Labor

ZEN will organize. That human
M certainty has been impressed
AVA upon the world since the Chill
cen OF Israel formed themselves into
the first labor union. laid down their
brick-mAking tools and. with Moses at
their head. walked out and started
cooperative community of their own.
The workman. standing alone. realizes
how futile and helpless he IS, and he
learns that only through the most
complete organization can he succeed.
Capital knows that the workman
will organize No element of the
worlds work knows II better. for even
Capital has profited by the stern les
sons taught in many Industrial strug-
giles And, occasionally. Capital dem
cnstrates that II recognizes mans in
herent right to organize and his GER
tain inclination TO do so.
Hcralded as Modern cure-AlI.
There is in Colorado what, for want
OF n better name. is called the Rocke-
fcllcr plan. / have no desire to i'm
pugn the motives OF John D. Rocke-
teller nor to deny that he Is interest
ed in the welfare of his employees,
neither have | any right TO assume
that he will take any step TO prevent
them from atiillatlng themselves Win
the trades union movement, because
n large number of his employees are
now members OF the United Mine
Workers
This plan. however. has been ex-
plotted in the state and heralded over
the country as the modern cure-all for
labor's Ills: the panacea for industrial
ailments. But while II has grandly
advertised itself as a specific. II has
in reality failed 10 cure anything.
They tossed the plan to labor as n
sop. They sought TO give their non
union workman something which
would make them imagine they were
organized. They hoped TO divert the
minds of employees from the real is
sues and to keep them from investi-
eating the real fruits OF honest. genu.
Inc. unsolfish organization.
is an Unqualified Failure.
The scheme is an unqualified fail
ure from every standpoint but one. II
las given the capitalistic press agents
n chance to talk, write and print. But
perhaps. after all. that press agenting

ION for and purpose of the plan. The

peace and while the civil courts are
open by military authority, we have.
in fact. a despotism under whatever
nlme it may pass among men.
The old form of militarism, the
nan on horseback. the crossing of the
Rubicon. the coup d'etat-these are
ancient and out OF style and wholly
behind the times. There is a more
modern. a more subtle. less risky,
and less suspected method by which
modern militarism under the suise Of
law and order. as in West Virginia,
supplants the courts and tears down
the guarantees OF personal liberty.
1t subordinates the civic to the mill
tary authority as happened in the
New York convention. when the influ-
ence of the state militia defeated the
proposed provision TO the constitution
providing n jury trial for civilians
when the courts were open
Modern militarism dictates from
the gallery here through its persist
ent and well-organized lobby what
appropriations shall be made in its
interest and on its behalf. 1t sends
its generals and lieutenants here to
the capital. whose business it is to
rotify the constituents of each sena-
tor and congressman that their rep
rcsentatives assume some views of
their own which are TO be shortly and
adequately changed.
Menace to Our Institutions.
There can be only one kind OF
rilitarism in our republic. and that
is the militarism which arises by rea-
son of the combination OF the mill
tnry power and the political power.

Whv the National Guard
~ Is Not Popular ~

Guard in strike matters. matters
which generally have been heretofore
settled without the interference OF
military authority.
I am familiar with one instance
in which the state militia was called
into action, wherein il was found after
they were called that the captains
and lieutenants and colonels and of
ficers of the guard were practically
all on the payroll and in the employ
of the companies against which the
strike was proceeding.
1T transpired in that instance that
practically the entire control of the
state militia was part of the en-
ployment and part of the payroll
Ci the corporations against which the
laboring men were making their con-
tention. 1t resulted in one of the
most disgraceful episodes that has
characterized the entire matter from
the beginning. 1t naturally followed
that it would be so, because those
who were interested financially. with
their prejudices and their interests
aroused. were the parties who, under
military organization and military
authority. had the right to act as
otherwise they would not have had.
Besetting Sin of Nations.
Il am warned by regrettable and
unhappy instances which have trans
pIred in our own country during the
last few years and those which have
occurred of late in EnSland-two

Of liberty have sacrificed and died 10

and beliefs, they are on their guard

ganize these military forces, but the
