ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
NEW YORK, Jan. 11. The federal
commission on industrial relations will
begin hearings here Monday to "find
out whether the principles of democ
racy arc being respected and main
tained in our great basic industries,'
said Chairman Walsh of the commis
sion in a statement outlining the com
mission's plans for its investigation
here. During the inquiry many noted
men and women capitalists, philan
thropists, social workers, labor leaders,
writers and others will he witnesses.
AYalsh said the fundamental prin
ciple of democracy is that people have
a compelling voice in determining the
laws and the form of government under
which they live. He said that principle
was applied to industry and now pub
lie opinion is demanding that it be ap
plied to wage earners. Walsh 'declared
if captains of industry, who are active
in promoting philanthropic social bet
terment work, showed strong belief in
these democratic principles, all well
and good. Rut, he stated, a recent in
vestigation of the commission in Colo
rado indicted this is not true, but in
stead that the "Rockefeller interests at
least prefer paternalism or benevolent
absolutism to democracy.
"The fundamental principle of de
mocracy is that the people shall have
a compelling voice in determining the
laws and form of government under
which they live," II r. Walsh said.
"That principle is now being applied
to industry and public opinion is
rapidly coming to concede the neces
sity of giving wage earners a voice
in determining working conditions if
they are to enjoy the measures of
freedom which the founders of our
country intended.
"The men who control our great
est industries are in many instances
the men who are most active in
promoting philanthropic and social
betterment work. They have set
aside vast sums of money as per
manent endowments and their ex
penditures are rapidly giving them
compelling influence in the fields
of philanthropy, education, economic
and sociological research and other
branches of social betterment work
by which the thought of the country
is moulded.
"If the record of these men in the
management of the industry shows
a belief in the democratic principles
and a firm adherence to tlio.se prin-j
ciples, then we have nothing to fear
for the present at least,, in their
interest in philanthropic and educa
tional moves. Hut the commission's
recent inquiry into the coal miners'
strike in Colorado indicated that this
is not the fact and that the Rocke
feller interests at least prefer pat
ernalism or bcnovelent absolutism to
democracy.
"If the attitude assumed by those
interests toward their employes in
Colorado is to be maintained in di
recting tlie work of the Rockefeller
Foundation, including the investiga
tion of industrial relations the pub
lic should know of it. In both acti
vities the control is in the hands
of the same men. This is not gener
ally understood by the public."
Mr. Walsh said that when the
Rockefeller foundation was first pro
posed there was a general discussion
as to the wisdom of giving federal
sanction to the control, by a self-
perpetuating board of directors of
a fund of $100,000,000 with immunity
from taxation for property used for
philanthropic purposes and with no
limitation to the amount of the prin
cipal of this fund.
"Rockefeller and his agents ack
nowledged the wisdom of proposals
that would limit the power of di
rectors," Mr. Walsh continued, "and
agreed to several amendments to the
bill in congress which were designed
to bring the foundation under public
influence and control and to limit
the size of the endowment. But the
effort to get a federal charter then
was dropped and the foundation was
incorporated under the laws of New
York, with none of the restrictions
which congress deemed wise."
Mr. Walsh said he did not mean
to suggest that there is danger of
"a trend toward monarchial govern
ment" in this country. "Such talk
is absurd," he declared.
"I do mean that an industrial or
ganization wherein the employes have
no voice in determining conditions is
essentially undemocratic and incom
patible with American ideals.
"We have held severol investiga
tions in the west, going into indus
trial conditions in the mining, lumber
ing and other industries. Now we are
coming here to examine the people
who own, direct or control these in
terests. We want to investigate the
effect these philanthropic foundations
have upon industries.
"We also want to Inquire into the
extent of the control of absentee
ownership of industries. For ex
ample, the " Rockefeller mines have
seven directors in Colorado and eight
in New York. To what extent do
these New York interests run the
industry?."

nearer a panicky market than at any
