MORE ROCKEFELLERISM
CHARGED BY UNIONISTS

New York.-"Are the 100000 school
children of New York to be educated
according to the Rockefeller idea? Read
how the Rockefeller interests are trying
to control the public schools of New
York"
The above statements are printed in a
circular issued by the Conference of
| Organized Labor on Industrial Educa-
ton of the City of New York"
The unionists charge that Rockefeller
influences would control the administra-
ton of public education through secret
meetings of so-called educational
kitchen cabinet that works inside of
the Municipal Board OF Education.
The unionists print photo reproduc-
tion of letter addressed to Egerton l..
Winthrop, Jr., 32 Liberty street, New
York City, and signed by Abraham FleX-
ner, who is secretary of the general
education board, Rockefeller institu-
ton, with Offices at 81 Broadway" The
letter follows:
January 26 1915.
Dear Winthrop-lt seem to me there
was painful lack of clean-cut decisive
ness about our conference yesterday
afternoon. Nnless we can stick to a
resolution once formed and not raise
questions continuously and show an in
ability to hold to line of action once
determined upon, these other fellows will
run away with the situation, despite our
majority.
81 have just spoken to Vile over the
telephone. In my opinion. we should
postpone action, not only on the report
! of the nominating committee, but also
on DR.. MaXwcll's letter asking leave of
absence, because we shall not have our
full voting strength there today Arm
stein, Fosdick and | shall be absent, and
perhaps others. On the other hand. we
shall have our full voting strength on
election day If MaxwelIs letter is
brought up today and we lose on it, the
other fellows will infer that we have not
control of the board and two or three
wobblers may go over to them on the
! presidential election. Please show this
to Mr.. Whalen, and, for heavens sake,
take no chances of being defeated on
any proposition between now and Feb
ruary 18th. Very sincere yours,
"ABRAHAM FLEXNER.
"Telephone me what you think"
Mr.. FleXner is a member of the Mu-
nicipal Board of Education. Peter J.
Brady, Secretary of the Unionists' Con
ference Board, said: THE fact that both
men (Flexner and Fosdick) are paid
generous salaries by Rockefeller is sig
nihcant. Mr. Rockefeller is business
man, and they wouldn't stay long in his
employ if, in their activities outside OF
his office. they ran counter to the things
he wants
Albany, N N.-Senator Boylan has
presented resolution in the State Legis-
lature for an investigation of "the OBJ
jects, purposes and accounts of the
Rockefeller Foundation and the at
tempts, if any, to gain control of the
Board Of Education and the public
school system of the city of New York.
The resolution includes all auxiliaries
of the Foundation. Senator Boylan's
action is based on circulars issued by
the Conference of Organized Labor or
Industrial Education of the City of New
York which charges that Rockefeller
influences would control the public
schools of that city.

A. J. County, vice president in charge
of accounting of the Pennsylvania Rail

of the Philadelphia Credit Mems Asso-
citation, in Philadelphia, gave one Of the
first detailed reviews of the so-callcd
Adamson eight hour act that has come
from high official of a great railroad
company His views on the act arc
Represented by the following question
which he put early in his address:
Shall legislation be obtained from
the Congress Of the United States
by coercion, combination and i'm
timidation from a relatively small
number Of organized men, and shall
public investigation, arbitration
and orderly government procedure
be abolshed2
After reviewing the manner I'M which
he thought Legislation by coercion
would strike at the root Of the credit
Of the railways, he advocated as a
means of putting them on stable
basis. the regulation of large systems
and trunk lines by the Federal Govern

After pointing out that his address
represented his personal views and not
those Of the company he represented,
he said that both the railways and their
employees were still uncertain what the
Adamson act really meant. and that no
estimate Of its ultimate cost could be
made He continued

NARROWED IN THE ANTARCTIC

Lieut.. Sir Ernest H. Shackleton,
head of the British Antarctic expedi-
ton. will be compelled to remain an
other year near the south end of the
earth. according to word brought to
New Zealand by the Aurora, one of
his vessels. which was driven back
by storms.
The adventure of Lieutenant
Shackleton had q three-fold purpose
to navigate the Antarctic on a me-
ridian; to secure for the British flag
the honor of being the first national
emblem thus to be taken from sea to
sea across this South pole realm. and
to conduct scientific work relating,
among other phases, to meteorology
geography. geology and geodetic sur.
vey.
The expedition left England in
two sections about six weeks after
the European war began. but II was
