Reward for Driver.
The plan of one business organiza-

Thus the driver is encouraged not only
to look out for himself, but to urge
cooperation from the thousands of
other drivers with whom he comes in
daily contact.
such plans as this, if improved and
augmented, could do much to make it
worth while for commercial drivers to
prevent accidents. The average motor

carelessness by pointing to those who
are more careless. But, robbed of this
possibility because of the good road
record of the commercial driver, he

during the day and the weather turns

ROCKEFELLER TO
BUILD TENEMENTS
FOR OIL SLAVES
Wants Bayonne Work
ers under Company Eye
Especial to The Daily worker,

BAYONNE, m. J. - This squalid
oil refining city, where Rockefeller's
gunner butchered eight workers at
one volley in the 1915 strike, is to
enjoy little charity from the pc
troleum king. The Standard Oil
company, faced with resentment at
wretched living conditions, has an
nounced, thru John d. Rockefeller,
Jr., a program for the erection on
model tenements for the employees
Of that concern.
Besides being slightly more sani-
tary than the quarters now furnished
by Independent landlords, it IS be-
lieved by the personnel department
of the corporation that the new
tenements will make for better COM
pany morale, and will enable the
employers to maintain better SUI
pervision over their hands during
the off duty period when union agi-
tators are likely to be most busy.
The present plans call for the
erection Of about $50 apartments of
five and six rooms each. The tene-
ments will be erected by the Bayonne
Housing Corporation. The buildings
will not be erected until certain
changes are made in the building
laws.
All Companies Behind Program
Behind the Bayonne Housing
Corporation are the Bayonne Cham
Der of Commerce and a group of
industries including the Standard Oil
Company, the Tide Water Oil Com
pany, the Vacuum Oil Company, the
Pacific Coast Borax Company, the
international Nickel Company, the
Babcock g. Wilcox Company, and the
Americal Radiator Company.
The 1915 strike will go down in
history as illustrating the brutality
Of the Standard Oil labor policy
more effectually than any incident
outside the Ludlow burnings. Strik-
ers from the oil refneries Of the
Standard and Tidewater and other
concerns were demonstrating on the
street when the gunner fired into
them, from behind the twelve-foot
stockade that encircled the refining
properties.
Murders Were Urprovoked
Files of the New York Evening
Sun and other capitalist papers ad-
nit that the shooting was unpro-
voked by any shooting on the part
Of the strikers, but following the
murderous volley, which slew eight
workingmen, strikers hunted UP guns
and fought back the gunner. The
200 hired thugs had to keep close
behind their bulwarks thereafter.
Wages, at the time Of the 1915
strike, ranged from SO to SO a
week.
