STATEMENT OF ROCKEFELLER John D., Jr., Defines Position He Has Taken in Mine War. JUST MINORITY STOCKHOLDERS Will JVot Accede to Demand of MrlUcr that Collieries of Colo rmlo lie Unionised. NEW YOBK, April 2S.-John D. Itocke- feller, Ji., tonight Issued a statement defining the position he, asvhead of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, had taken In regard to the mine strike now Jn progress In that stato which has cost the lives of many men, women and chil dren and cauuccl large property loss. Tho statement In full which was given out after Mr. Itockefeller and his per sonal attorney, Starr J. Murphy, had worked over it all afternoon follows: "In view of the Inaccurate accounts which have appeared I nthe press regard ing my Interview with Congressman Fos ter, chairman ot tbe committee on mines and mining, I think It proper to make tho following statement; Discussion of Question. "In that Interview at which Starr J. Murphy, ono, of tho directors of tho Col orado Fuel and Iron company, was pres ent, wo pointed out to Dr. Foster that of the many coal companies In Southern Colorado, wo wcro Interested solely and as minority stockholders In the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, which controls only about one-third of the output of that state. After a long and full discus sion of tho question from all Its aspects, Dr. Foster was unable to make nny sug gestion which did not Involvo the union ising of' the mines or the submission ot that question to arbitration. We stated to hint that If the employes ot tho Colo rado Fuel and Iron company had any grievances, we felt suro tho officers of the company would be willing now, as they have always been In the past, to mako every effort to. adjust them satis factorily. We showed tho doctor that all of tho points which are clalmod to be at Issue, with the exception ot unioniz ing tho camps, the Colorado Fuel and Iron company had voluntarily granted to Its employPH Idhg before the ntrlko waa called or talked of. These points are: Points of Ihkiic. "First The eight-hour day. This was established by tho fuel company for all of Its coal miners some time ago. "Second Semi-monthly pay. When this question was raised by ono or two miners in one of tho camps of tho company, tho officers without delay decided to pay not only the minora In that particular camp twlco a. month, but all the miners employed by tho company. "Third Check welghmen. For several 'years the ctiTrtpa.YlyTTds""raise!l nonobjec tion to tho employment by tho miners of their own check welghmen as la done in eastern mines where union labor Is em ployed, In order that' now men might Understand tbotr right in this matter some time since the officers of the com pany gave instructions that circulars, should be posted In all tho mines stating that tho company had always encour aged its miners to employ their own check welghmen. "Fourth Corppany stores. It has been charged that the employes of the fuel company are obliged to bUy at tho com pany's stores. The storekeepers are un der strict instructions to say to all that they aro at liberty to trado where they please; that the company In glad of their patronage, but that their standing will not be affected one way or the other by their action In tho matter. As a result 'of a study made In ono of the mining camps of the company, it waa found that only 23 per cent of the wages of the men was spent in the company's stores. Increases Wnuen. "Fifth-Wages. In spite of the fact that no dividends have been paid on the common stock of tho company since .our connection with It a matter of at least ten or twelve years and only 3780,000 haa been paid on tho preferred stock, of which the great portion represented pay ment on account ot an accrued dividend which had accumulated during many years, the company voluntarily Increased the wages of its miners last year by a total amounting to 3300,000 a year and ot Its steel employes by a total of 3350,000 a year. The wage scale compares favor ably with that of any similar mines, whether union or non-union, In any part of the country. "In addition to the above tho only mat ter which haa been raised by tho union is the unionizing of the company's camp. On this question of the open fhop, namely, tho right of every American citizen to work on terms satisfactory to himself without securing tho consent of the union, I reiterated to Dr. Foster what I said in mv examination before tho committee on mines and mining In Washington a few weeks ago that we regarded this as a matter of principle which could not be arbitrated. "In reply to his request for some sug gestion as to how the strike could be (Continued on Page Two.) Woman and Four v Children Burned to Death in Home MOUNT UNION, Pa..

Large Profits of Municipal Saloon Makes Town Go Dry SIOUX FALLfl, S, D.. April 28.-(Spo- clal.) Notwithstanding that a majority of the voters of Slsseton have declared for the. abolishing of tho municipal sa loon at that place, which recently has gained a great deal of fame because of the largo profits which It gave the city, the residents of Waubay have com menced an active campaign for the in stalling of a municipal saloon at that place on July 1. It is planned to conduct it on somewhat the same plan followed in the case of the Blsseton saloon. Under the state law there Is no authority for a municipality to engage in the saloon business, but there Is nothing to prevent city councils from granting an Individual the exclusive right to conduct a saloon, and then have citizens act as agents of the town In directing the operation of tho saloon, and turning Into the city treasury tho profits derived therefrom. The making public of the great profits ot the Blsseton saloon proved the undo ing of the municipal saloon there, a the people believed too much money was spent for liquor and accordingly a ma jority of the votora declared for the ibundonm nt of th municipal saloon end as a result Plsseton will be dry after July I B Drawn for Tlio neo oy towetl.
