: DKNVHH, Colo., Sept. 28. John
I). Rockefeller, Jr., Ih In Colorado try
ing to phi n Htigar-roatlng on tho hit
ter oiMMt-ahop pill he told a congres
sional Investigating committee a year
ago last Apill he stood ready to offer
Is employes nri a substitute for union
ism. '
It' Is his first vIhII lo tho vast coal
properties of tho Colarudo Find and
Iron company In twohe )ears,
In making It ho is employing every
press agent trick In an effort to off
set the famous report of I'ranlt V.
Walsh, chairman of tho United States
Commission on Industrial Halations.
Kach day ho visits IiIh coal camps
It Is like a triumphant proce.sH.tlon of
a king among his vassals,
Kor the kingdom of Rockefeller
has been set In order since nineteen
women and children and strikers
were klllod at Ludlow, utid his sub
jects huvo been taught to cheer.
An expert was first hired to press
agent, this visit or John I). Rockefel
ler, Jr., to Colorado,
Ivy I.eo Publicity Agent.
Ivy I.ce was hired as a publicity
man.
"You must practice tho art of get
ting believed In!" I,ee wrote Rock
efeller after tho Ludlow massacre, ac
cording 'tho Walsli records.
Bo Rockofellor, coming to view (ho
result of his nodal welfare substitute
for unionism, didn't overlook tho pub
licity end.
Tho night before he reached Trini
dad three friendly newspapers In
l)cncr and the Associated Press man
were notified that he would begin the
et morning a tour of his coal camps.
Reporters and photographers were
ou baud with King, President Wei
born nnd other C. P. A I. officials to
welcome tho man who Wnluh rays
owns Colorado and whose "will nnd
conscience." King testified "Is more
powerful than all tho people of Col
orado." Roosevelt, on a campaign tour,
couldn't have gieeted the newspaper
men more cordially or democratical
ly. Ho was surmised, of course, but
quite willing to take them nlnug ou
his ttlps about the coal camps of I.as
Animas county.
Hugnr (Vmti'd Policy
Ho wanted to meet all tho miners,
compliment all tho women and make
friends with all the children In every
ramp. Ho succeeded In meeting
many. Those he met were the
HTRIKKIIRKAKI.Mt.S, Imported to re
place tho 9000 union men who lost
the great Colorado strike. He met
only thoso whom his agents wanted
him to meet.
Forty' years he had shunned com
mon people.
Tho change made him an pleasant
as his ndlscrt! tell hlni his sugar
coated open shop policy Is. Plentj of
KN'-HTRIKKIIHKAKKRS told him
they UUed renditions and wages
And ho did find conditions better
than ever they novo been before In
tho history of tho eojl mining Indus
try. He found that the death of women
and children ut Ludlow had (nought
better conditions for the strlkehreak
ers than ever their fntheis ami broth
ers had enjoyed.
Rockefeller had the hat tie of Lud
low explained to hm by his agents
while he stood on the little hill fiom
which a deadly machine mm flro was
poured Into the mlueis' colony. He
didn't visit the "death hole."
He talked to miners' shes about
tho price of food, the kind of food
they hud, whether the had enough,
ate with miners, told the bchool kids
to obey and respect their teachers. In
pelted the club houses built by his
companv as substitutes for union
li.ilH which the strikers would hae
been glad to build and tried In the
frankest sort of way, to mnke the
miners feel that ho was their friend.
