BEFORE FEDERAL: INDUSTRIAL BOARD Financier Smilingly Awaits Bombardment of Questions on Labor Conditions, JOHN MITCHELL HEARD. |Says Compensation Law Tends | to Décrease Accidents to Employees. J. Pierpont Morgan, called, in dis- tinction from his late father by Wall Street, “Jack Morgan,” made his frat public appearance as spokesman for the vast Morgan financial interests to-day asa witness before the United States Industrial Relations Commia- sion. Looking amazingly like his father, as the elder Morgan appeared ten yeara ago, he sat with a broad amile which seemed not without a background of willingness to fight if @ challenge were issued by the social reform advocates who are on the Commission. Mr. Morgan had been told he would be called at 2.30 o'clock. He entered the hall at 2.29, and sat in the front row waiting for John Mitchell, former President of the United Mine Workers and present board member of the New York Workmen's Compensation to finish his testimony. No questions had been submitted to him and he had no prepared statement of, his views to read, It was explained that none of the captains of industry summoned for general questioning rather than for specialized knowledge had been sup- plied with questions in advance, Mr. Morgan was kept waiting for more than half an hour. Mr. Morgan took the stand at 3.12. Q. (By Chairman Walsh). In what corporations are you @ director? A. In the Steel Corporation, the North- ern Pacific, the Pullman Company and International Mercantile Marine. Q. In what companies are you a stockholder? <A. Really, I don't know; I'd have to go over the books. Big and eelf rellant as was the fig- ure of the financior, he was cleufly as nervous as a schoolboy on “declama. tion day.” He stammered and his voice shook and his answers were hurried. His voice was pitched very low. Mr. Morgan explained the organiza- tion of the “Shipping Trust” and the nature of reports which came to him as a director of other corporations— ‘prospects for business and crop out- he said they were. was to be questioned regarding justice of absentee management and ownership, the transportation monopoly and the responsibility of directors for the treatment of labor Lage by their corporations.

Mr. Mitchell said that since the raise in wages of the Anthracite Coal Treaty of 1902 the whole intellectual and moral tone of the mines was bettered. Mr. Mitchell said that he would not have signed the “Colorado Call to Arms” of the mine workers last Fall, but that he sympathized with the emotional feeling of the men who did sign it, three days after the “Ludlow massacre.” Q. Has the growth of large cor- Dorations improved working - condl- tions? A. There have been certain improvements—as, for instance, by the United States Steel Corporation, in profit sharing and better sanitary conditions. But there has been a general spread of the denial of the right of organization. No good done by the corporations makes up for the damage done by this denial. Mr. Mitchell continued: “I understand that you desire to learn the causes of industrial unrest. There is nothing healthier, of course, than healthy constructive discontent. If you will let me say so, such dis- content should be fostered. But dis- content caused by corporate selfish- ness, denial of the right of aasocia- tion, ‘refusal to recognize the union’ do not breed healthy discontent; these breed rebellion and destruction. There can be no permanent industrial peace until workingmen are secure in their right to bargain collectively with their employers. “The tremendous death roll in min- ing camps,” Mr. Mitchell sald, “which are not organized, cannot, be sepa- tated from the fact that they lack union protection. The death rate in Colorado and West Virginia among miners, I believe, is about 6 per 1,000 per year. In States where mine labor {9 organized the rate is about 3 per 1,000 per yei Q. Why would you not have signed the “Call to Arms?” A. Because I am informed that the “right to bear arms” of the Constitution does not imply the right to issue a call to arms. But I wish to say that I am informed that the signers of the call did not know the circular was illegal, Q. Do you consider the United Mine Workers of America as charac- teristically a contract breaking or- ganization? A. Far from this, as a body I regard it as a contract ob- serving organization, The temper of the audience was well shown when Mr. Mitchell said: “The American mution was founded in disregard of law, It has made no notable advance except by disregard- ing law." There was rer ap- plause. amos Pinchot, Progressive Iéader, finished to-day reading the testimony which he began Saturday, including an accusation of intentional coloring of the news in misrepresentation of labor. James Mackaye of Boston appeared before the commission to describe a plan of profit sharing called by him “conditional compensation,” ax used in Alaska mines. Mr. Mackaye described himself as a chemical engineer, occupied for the last ten yeart “industrial chemical investigation: He is a brother of Percy Mackaye, dramatist and poet. He is employed by Stone Webster, engineers, who, he said, are clasesd as members of the “Water Power and Electrical Trust” and among whose works is the great dam at Keokuk, Ia. He carefully specified that he was testi- fying as an individual. Mr. Mackaye advised the division of profits over a fixed amount on the basis whereby the wage earner re- ceived a share proportionate to his wages and the consumer a share pro- portionate to his purchase during the fiscal year. 1919 CITY BUDGET NEAR $200,000, 000; TAXES TO BE HIGHER (Continued From First Page.) most critical point in her history in respect to raising money to pay run- ning expenses.

When the Mayor's Tax Commission assembled in the City Hall to-day t submit to the Board of Estimate propositions and plans for raising funds by new methods of taxation Mayor Mitchel said the report of the commission would be given out tothe {Public as soon at is was, submitted, But something happengd in the executive session in the Mayor's) office to alter this determination,» At the conelusion of the meeting ‘it was announced that the be sg would not be made public at this time. In discussing the report @f the Commission, Mayor Mitchel eaid: “We concluded that this .w! question is in such undigested fo) having yet reached the ‘at when it can even be considered, it would be unwise to give out the committee's report. We decided that ; we would not consider the itive tions presented to-day until we definitely determined whether it will , be necessary to raise new sources.ef income. “We cannot reach that deterthina- tion because it depends upon how much the new direct State. tax will be and how much will have to, be written into the budget for new’ per- | manent public improvements. I don’t | think it will be long before we ean set an idea regarding the direct State tax and as for the appropriatian, that will be required for the, pet- manent public improvements, that, matter is now being studied by the Finance Department.” “Mr. Mayor, do you think it will be as long as six months before those , two questions are settled?” the Mayor was asked, “No; not as long as that. Perhaps we'll know in three months,” re} the Mayor. “If we ever have to con~ sider the question of raising new sources of income that question will be considered in public so that will be full and free public disc of the whole matter. But there no necessity for us taking up this matter now, for there is no 3 why we should consider somethii which we may not have to do.
