Work of Elder and
Young Rockefeller
BY HOLLAND


New York, November u.-(Special)-
While John y. Rockefeller, Jr continues
to give heed to the problems associated
with the relation of those who work for
wages to those who pay the wages, MS
father gives even greater consideration to
a question whose satisfactory answer VIII
be of almost incorceiyable benefit to man.
kind. The young Rockefeller is anxious
to eliminate so far as possible the class
distinction which is now made between
capital and labor. He believes that the
way may be fourd whereby class distinct

instead of two classes occupied with pro
duction of commodities there will be In
reality only one and that will be repre-
scented by the fundamental spirit of CO.
operation.
The younger Rockefeller, while main
tanning his interest in the republican,
party, believes that the so-called labor
question should be studied by both par
ties, with the view of suppressing the
tendency toward radical socialistic supre-
macy. He was much Interested in the
election which took place in New York
City on Tuesday of last week. And al
though he did lot take an active part IN

| Mr.. Rockefeller s friends say that he IS
confident that the time is not distant
when satisfactory relations between capt.

practically to eliminate the friction which
/ is oecasioned by strikes. AS he is identl-
| fed with a corporation whose payroll is
! a heavy one and whose productive capac-

/ and capital problem is regarded as sure
| to be OF much influence.
On the other land John d. Rockefeller.

attention upon rot only the preservation

ease. His latest contribution to the IN

made at almost the moment when his son
was trying to bring order out of chaos at
