John D., Jr., Denies Charges that
He Attempted to Dominate Coal
In'duitjry, of Colorado. ' (
HE MAKES SUGGESTIONS ONLY
. IBW -TORK,' Jan. 23.-jn a atat-miet
today to the United States committee on
industrial relations on the Colorado labor 1
situation, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., denied
he had, as he said had been charged,
"attempted 'to exercise a kind of abso
lutism over the coal industry . ot Colo
rado," or that he had "sought to dictate
a. policy of nonrecognitton of unions.'' On
the contrary, he said he was most hear
tily In favor of labor unions, so long as
their purpose was to promote the well
being of the employes and they had due
regard for the Interests of the public. .
"The commission has asked my views,"
said Mr. Rockefeller, "as to what ex
tent .the stockholders and directors of a
corporation are responsible for the labor
troubles - exist in 1 it and . for - the
social conditions are produced; how
generally and in w hat . manner such re
sponsibilities are assumed by stockholders
and directors, and in actual practice how
and upon what general basis the labor
policies of large corporations are de
termined. J - ,
' Ha Morfel Iflo-nce.
"The responsibilities of 'stockholders is
practically limited to the ""election of
directors. They have no power to elect
officers, to employ labor, to make con
tracts or to intervene: directly In the
management of the business. A large
stockholder, however, Is able to exercise
consider! moral Influence bvei the di
rectors and is responsible for exercising
that Influence properly. ' ,
A business to be successful must not
only provld . for the laborer renum
eratlve employment under proper work
ing .additions, but it must also render
useful service to thommuntty and earn
a fair return on the money invested.
"Any one who -has followed the con
troversy which has Arisen out of the
Colorado situation will have observed
that no effort has been spared to make
It appear that I . have attempted to
exercise a . kind of absolutism over the
coal industry tn Colorado and particu
larly that I have sought to dictate a
policy1 on non-recognition of unions. , n
attitude toward industry and tcward
labor spch as Is. here implied. Is so ah

trary to the spirit, of my whoto purpose
and training, that I cannot allows these
allegations to pass unnoticed. '

"First, with reference to my attitude
toward labor unions: I -belief it to be

Mr. Rockefeller said, that lie had not

to their working conditions; but that he
had studiously avoided anything which
might afford ground lor ihi belief that

Rather Remarkable.

-Terra's Defeat te Advavataare.
I .'rather admire this facility which
frequently has enabled tt)e British for

bombafded towns on the east coast pf
England towns equipped with defenses.
arsenals, batteries and other military es
tablishments despite all statements to the
contrary emanfttng from London no
powerful fleet appeared to defend the
coast; but all England wis made to rise
up In Indignation about our lack of civ
ilisatkm. Recruiting lists bulged with
new. names and reports were spread
broadcast which shook the world with
horror over our alleged Infamy,
-'"These reports defaming us gained in
tensity, when our dirigibles threw bombs
at the fortified town f Oreat Yarmouth
and wat-ded off attack from below as
they passed over British soil.
Somewhat Aadacloaa.
"Now, Is not this rather audacious
dlplomatto Journalism, ' in view of ' the
fact that British vessels bombarded the
