ROCKEFELLER MOTES
TO UNIONIZE HIS MES
Washington, Oct. 3:—John I).
Rockefeller. Jr., is negotiating today
with officials of the I'nited Mine
Workers, looking to unionization of
the mines of the Colorado Fuel &
Iron Company, and signing of an
agreement to end the bloody labor
wars that have been waged in south
ern Colorado, and in some measure
to remove the stain of Ludlow.
No one knows whether Rockefel
ler's change of position, from the
forefront of organized labor's foes to
agreement with the I'nited Mine
Workers, is due to a change of heart,
or simply to labor shortage created
by the war.
First overtures came to the union
officials from Rockefeller In the form
of an invitation to confer and discuss
possibilities of a stable agreement.
Rockefeller flung to the winds his
publicly announced willingness to
sacrifice every dollar invested in Col
orado rather than agree to unioniza
tion.
l.abor leaders regard this as an
indication of the great opportunities
war i* opening for organized labor.
Rockefeller, they say. is typical of
many employers who before the war
swore they would rather die than
sign a union contract.
The longest-headed labor leaders
are confident ΛΙλ*- . Ir,e war

ing) will be organized. Thus, they
say, while we are fighting to promote
democracy throughout the world, we
will be taking long steps toward
realization of industrial democracy
at Ik me.

IThc New Jersey boys have been in
camp only two weeks but they are
right in the thick of trench build- !
ing as the initial factor to intensive .
training that by spring will fit them
to hold battle line tronches in Eur- |

lantic counties got the first practice 1
with the pick and shovel and tonight |
a four-foot earthen breastwork,
backed by α five-foot ditch, stretches j
across the broad fire break west of
their quarters.
Back of their quarters yesterday j
afternoon a score of Camden rookies j
were filling burlap sacks with straw.
These sacks are to represent the {
enemy in charges that are to be made
over the battlefield.
In the center of the field barb wire
entanglements are being constructed
and the men will be taught how to
negotiate those with least danger.
Other racks will form hurdles and
from higher racks will be strung the j
swinging dummies for bayonet work.

important duties for Major General
Charles W. Kennedy and other ofll- |
cers of the general slaff at the Na
