ROCKEFELLER'S SAGACITY

What the average man cannot
get through his head is the idea of
dividing his life between two per.
iods - one Of requisition and the
other of distribution. John D..
Rockefeller sensed this and has
reached the age Of SO doing it and
playing golf, with his mind active
enough with his distributions 80 as
to keep him vitality interested,
while all his other associates in
Standard Oil who failed to do it
have passed off. But Mr.. Rookie
Teller had the divination to see
that time comes to a man who
has acquired when he must cease
taking out of the world and begin
putting something into it. A mans
life is like the soil of farm: the
point comes when he must put in
to the soil what he has taken out,
else life becomes barren and un-
productive.
We need not amass the fortune
Of Rockefeller. His is an, ex-
IRENE case of enormous wealth. 1t

made money in large quantities as

God to build himself up and his
family-who, having acquired am

wishes, TO turn his ability from

to similar achievement in a field
where he will build up some effec-
tive instrument for others. The

BY Edward I. Taylor
u. s. Representative From Colorado,
Fourth District.

There isn't anything essentially
funny in spending seven months in
any army hospital with death from
heart disease just around the corr
ner every minute. Such was my ex-
perience.
But tn.re is a grim sort of humor
among the patients and attendants
in such a hospital.

overheard one of the other new pa
tients ask the orderly:

DRILLING OPERATIONS

Arrivals from Kanatak this morn ing report that drilling operations by the Associated Oil company Were hah- ed through a breakage of machinery, which will be replaced on the arrival of the Starr this next trip.
 The Associated company is said to have attained depth of 196 feet at the time the break occurred, hard rock being encountered at that depth. The presence of gas was noted with no in dications of oil although an optimis- tic tendency was noted among the drilling crew. The Standard Oil com pany is expected to commence drilling on their claims most any day, enough material being assembled to permit the start.

unions, is the desire to remain lead
ers" with secure and comfortable
positions. They were afraid TO put mp
real fight against the railrc as,
but were forced by a militant rank
and file to go along W the strike
They sabotaged the str gle however
by complete failure to 8are any cen
traized plans of battle, an entire alb
sence of commissary relief organiza-
ton, and not the slightest move for
unity of the railroad men generally
for the struggle. After the failure Of
the strike they became panic stricken
at the result of their handiwork-be-
cause it threatened to lose them thar
positions. The one measure that could
save the situation-ama. gamahon Of
the railroad unions-they would have
nothing of. They tried to reorP nize
the unions with the telling talks"
of insurance statesmen, boosting the
insurance and fraternal features Of
the unions. This miserably failed.
The oificialdom, bankrupt because
afraid of every really progressive
measure, had but one place left to go
to--the employers. And there they
went. Cooperation" with the man.
agement is the result.
1t is no miracle that the capitalist
press has greeted Johnston's proposals
as "statesmanlike," and have joy
ously announced a new era of fratern-
ity between workers and capitalists.
They may well rejoice for, if such
institutions of class collaboration can
be successfully set up with the aid of
Johnston & Co., il means that the
labor movement is hamstrung for
some time. The capitalists should
smile because this Cooperation" is the
with the railroad companies in their
usual role of lion. That a solution Of
the labor press should echo the pleas
ure of Wall Street is another demon
stration of the com0lete muddlehead-
edness or corruption of the dominat-
ing leadership of the American labor
movement.
But of course the scheme of collab-
oratin of the railroad shop unions
with the railroad capitalists will not
succeed. 1t will fail as surely as
water will run down hill. But the pro-
paganda of the progressive and revo-
lutionary union men will kill it, but
the cruel, compelling facts of the class
struggle. The rapacity of the rail-
road companies will soon wake the
workers from any sweet dreams of
the millennium of cooperation, and will
| force them to resume the struggle
from which there is no escape. Col
laboration is bound to fail. But in the
failure it can do terrible damage to
| the railroad shop unions
The task of the class-conscious
workers in the railroad unions is the
fight against this bosses propaganda
with all their energy. pointing out to
the rank and file to just what moras-
SEES of defeat and disaster it will lead.
The spirit of true unionism must be
kept alive within the shop unions,
despite all the Johnstons and all the
collaboration schemes, and the day
prepared for the coming renaissance
of the railroad unions generally.
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1923-12-21

The scheme Is being tried out on
the Il. a. o. Railroad. The unions are
hiring efficiency experts to show the
bosses how to get more work out Of
their members. "The idea underly-
ing our service to the Baltimore x
Ohio" said Mr.. Johnston, may be
compared TO the idea which underlies
the engineering services extended TO
railroads by large supply corpora
tons which have contracts with these
railroads to furnish, let US say, arch
bricks, superheatefs, stokers, or lubr-
eating oils" The union, in short, is
to become supply corporation to the
railroad companies, engaged In the
business of selling labor just as are
other corporations may sell lubricants.
1t will compete in the market like any
other commodity-selling organization,
and engage TO deliver more work for
less cost than non-union labor can de-
liver. That il the sessence of the
scheme.
The effect of this proposition, if es-
tablished throughout the railroad in
dustry, will be to eliminate unionism
altogether 1t is method for the
railroad employer to capture the rail
road unions and turn them to profit
making purposes. Ii is a direct com
petitor of the company unions"
promising the bosses that it will be
more effective for them than even
such organizations formed by their
paid agens. Johnston says ON this
point: 81 want to emphasize as
strongly as | know how the fact that
in the task of positive cooperation in
the railroad industry there can be no
substitute for the genuine unions of
the railroad employees" And later:
81 maintain that such management
would never , as long as 1t re-
tains its good gI q, desire to see the
affiliated shop crafts effaced from the
scheme of things on its road" The
"open shop" drive is to be stopped, in
other words, by eliminating every
thing from the unions that the bosses
don't like. Make the unions just the
kind of organizations that the employ
ers want, make the unions profitable
to the capitalists rather than to the
workers, and then "it follows as the
night the day" that there will be no
conflict with the employers. 1t is all
so simple
How comes it that such vile poison
as this can be peddled to the labor
movement by so-caled responsible
leaders? If such proposals had been
made two years ago, there is no
doubt they would have been scorned
by the. rank and file. But now, the
shop unions have had long and un-
successful struggle; the unions have
been wiped out on many lines and
seriously weakened everywhere. Pes
simism and hopelessness are prevail
ent. The disastrous tendency toward
leaving the union has been affecting
large numbers. It is under such cir
cumstances as these, suffering from
the sickness of its bad leadership, that
the shop unions are thought ready to
take a new doe of medicine fro the
same doctor.
The prime motive for action of the
| reactionary officialdom of the shop
