JOHN D. IS
 ,. SEVENTY SEVEN

John D. Rockefeller will pass his
 seventy nth milestone today, with
 twenty-three years yet to go if he is
 attain his ambition of passing the cen
 tury mark. The richest man in the world was born in the little village of Richford, N. jY, the son of farm
 CT, on July 8, 1889. His youth held
 no indications of his future greatness.
 He milked cows, chopped wood and worked in the garden. He was a
 ularly and seemed to enjoy it. and
 who had no prejudices against school. although he was not marked brilliant
 in his studies. At thirteen he went to Cleveland The future metropolis
 of Ohio was then a town of about 30,-
 900 population. but the arrival of
 young John seemed to bring it luck.
 for within five years it had doubled in population and was growing like
 a weed. The future millionaire
 attended school until he was sixteen.
 He landed his first job in 1855, when
 he was employed as a clerk, bookkeep- CT and errand boy, receiving fifty dol-
 lars for four months work. After
 working year his salary was boosted
 to twenty-five dollars a month. He was a willing worker. toiling early and late and never complaining of long hours. From the day he became a wage earner he ceased to spend on his family. but paid for his board and laundry. He kept careful note of his earnings and expenses, and always put aside something for the church.
 At nineteen he left his job because
 he was refused a raise, and, borrowing $2,000s started produce commission
 business in partnership with a young Englishman. The business flourish ed and Rockefeller cleared s2,200 the
 first year. He then borrowed more money and financed a man named Samuel Andrews Nh starting an oil re- finery. Andrews had devised a new process for improving the quality of oil. Applying his business acumen to the oil industry, Rockefeller was soon able to start another refinery and to open an oil-selling house in New York. He obtained his first great advantage over competitors, 1t is said by getting rebates from railroads. With this advantage as lever, he
 forced or bought out many smaller companies and by 1872 he was in
 control of fifth of the refining bus- | mess of the United States. Four years later he combined all his com | pahies into one and the Standard Oil | company came into being. As his earnings increased SO did his contri- | buttons to the church, and his bene-
 factions have run into the millions
 He declares that his faith in Chris
 tianity has brought him the greatest | happiness in his life, and asserts that
 that he has always tried to live up to
 Christian principles in the conduct ot his business afafirs.

SUFFRACISTS URGED TO
attend their CONVENTION

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Visions Of
being marooned at obscure railroad
sidings along the railways leading to
Atlantic City, where the annual con-
vention OF the National American
Woman Suffrage Association will be
held beginning September 6 - two
days after the date set for the train
mems strike-are disturbing suffrage
leaders in every State in the Union.
Even If they should succeed in get
ting TO Atlantic City. they are not at
all sure Of getting home after the con.
vention is over.
These fears have brought a deluge
OF kilograms OF inquiry as TO just
what the strike situation is. Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait, president of the
national organization wired Mrs.
Frank M. Roessing chairman OF the
Congressional Committee, asking
what the prospects OF a strike inter-
fering with the convention were.
The National Association is tele-
graphing delegates to the convention
20 buy their tickets and come on to
Atlantic City. They we're assured that
the belief in Washington is that there
will be no strike, at least. until after
the suffrage convention has adjourn
cd, and all the suffrage leaders have
had time TO return TO their homes.
Mrs. Roessing bases this advice on
the belief OF the House and Senate
leaders that the brotherhnods viii
postpone their threatened strike.

HOPE AND JOY
Written for EVENING JOURNAL
By JAMES T. cRozER

Hope 10 the anchor Of the Soul,
On which you can rely;
II Christ rs dwelling in your heart,
You're safe as days go by
Should trials come TO you, my friend
While you are on the way;
Remember that His Promise Is
To care for you each day.
The man or woman. boy or girl,
Who fully trusts in Him;
Are happy in the knowledge that.
His Blood does cleanse from sin.
And should the way seem dark at
times.
As days are passing by:
Believe His Word-He'll bring you
home,
Some day-beyond the sky.
The essence Of true happiness.
Is never fully known;
Unless we have accepted Him.
Can call ourselves His own.
Then happiness will be complete.
No matter what may come;
And then we'll see His Blessed Face.
When we arrive at Home.
We have that Joy this world can't give
or cannot take away;
It's wealth we can take with US.
. When we reach the End Of Day.
Wen sweetly fall asleep some time,
While holding His Dear Hand;
And when we wake. Oh Bless His
Name.
Well be I'm Beulah Land.

House TO Push Through
Eighf-Hour Bill Today

among Democratic leaders, whether
this date should be December / or
January 1. The latter date, If not found
to be too repugnant to the railroad
employees, appeared to have most
favor.
Question of Legality.
i've been listening to these tales
for twenty years, and they don't worry,
me any more" said Chairman Adam
son, OF the House Interstate Com
merce Cmmittee, when he read state
ment by President Hale Holden, OF the
Burlington, that the proposed eight
hour law might be illegal because II
attempts to fix wages.
THE railroads have cried wolf for
so long, when anybody has tried to
regulate them that they don't get
much of a rise any more. They have
lust learned that they are the trustees
of the people and not only OF their
stockholders
legality OF his bill
Individual railroads will fight the pro-
posed s-hour law as illegal, upon con-
stitutidnal grounds, if mature delibera-
tion shows it TO have any loopholes'
This statement from the railroad camp
today was qualified, however, by the ad-
mission that the general feeling is that
Congress has very extensive powers to-
wards interstate commerce.
Legal opinion among the railroads
differ. it was stated, on whether or not
Congress can fix wages along with the
s-hour day, as it does in the present in
stance Court decisions have establish
ed that Congress may fix a minimum
wage; the present bills do not specify
that the lO-hour pay for an S-hor day
is a minimum.
Railroad attorneys are inclined TO
think, however that Congress will keep
within its rights. The railroads do not
plan to oppose the measure, and If later
the lines feel that the measure is nm
constitutional, an individual road will
make a test case, the decision OF which
will apply to all lines.
Expect No Strike.
The few remaining railroad heads
conferred informally during tho fore
noon. They we're convinced that the
Presidents program will pass and
From a source in touch with devel-
opments among the executives 1t was
admitted that the railroads, reconciled
to what they regard as inevitable.
now are anxious to save what threads
they may by avoiding application of
the S-hour day to all their employees.
On this point. opinion varies. The
brotherhoods have taken no position
thus far on whether non-union
men should reap the benefit of their
efforts The executives hope the law
will be so interpreted as to avoid gen.
eral application.
Leaders OF the brotherhoods felt
today that the eightho law will
pass They are making no assur-
ances, however, on this score. And.
they are firm in repeating that the
strike will go into effect Monday
morning If the eight-hour bill does
not pass by midnight tomorrow.
During the forenoon A. B. Garretson
conferred with President Wilson but
was silent as to the subject of their
talk Other leaders saw congress
sional leaders and said they were
well pleased with developments.
brotherhood men feel that the
/ eight-hour law will stick" Prob
ably a year will be consumed in in
! vestigation IL Is thought and they
regard IL as doubtful that there will
be even an attempt to revert TO any
plan other than the eight-hour day
