John D., Jr., Says His Father Owns
40 Per Cent, of Stock in Trou
bled Colorado Mines
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., April G. John
D. Rockefeller, Jr., told the House
mines committee to-day that his
father owns about 40 per cent, of the
stock of the Coolrado Fuel and Iron
Company, the central figure in the in
dustrial strife which has swept the
Colorado coal field. Mr. Rockefeller
contended that responsibility for the
conduct of corporations lay not only
with the stockholders or directors but
with the officers of the company.
"In these days when business in
terests are so diversified and directors
are members of so many boards, the
best they can do is to appoint officers
and hold them responsible," said he.
"Don't you think the fact that the
government has found it necessary to
take action would warrant you in tak
ing more than a passing interest in
the situation?" asked Chairman Fos
ter.
"I have taken more than a passing
interest," returned Mr. Rockefeller.
"The vast sums of money Involved and
the great disorder in the field con
cerned me closely, nut I have done
all that X could have done. The offi
cers of the company have been held
responsible and if we are at any time
convinced their policies are mistaken
we will immediately remove them. I
am one of my father's representatives
in this as in other of his personal
investments."
Industrial Freedom
"Wo stand ready to lose every cent
we have invested in that company
rather than that the workingmen of
this country shoudl lose their right to
work for whom they please," said Mr.
Rockefeller.
"You'll do that even If you lose all
your money and have all your em
ployes killed?" asked Mr. Foster.
"It's a great principle. It's a na
tional issue. And we propose to sup
port the officers In their course, which
is In support of the workingmen them
selves and their right to work for
whom they please and how they
please," returned the witness.
