WILL NOT DELAY ACTION
Philippines Bill to Be Pushed Despite
Stories Of Uprisings
There.

Recent disturbances among natives
in the Philippines will not delay action
by the Senate Philippine committee on
the Jones bill to grant the Filipinos a
greater measure of self~government,
Senator Hitchcock, chairman of the
committee, said today. 1t is expected
the bill win be reported to the Senate
by the middle of January.
The reports of the uprisings are
very meager." Senator Hitchcock said,
but they do not indicate that the dis
turbances were important. The fact
that the natives involved were armed
with bolos means nothing.
Nothing to Alter Sentiment.
Virtually all Filipinos possess such
weapons. which really are agricultural
tools. The whole matter is being given
too great Importance down there. Ger
tainly nothing has occurred to our
which will delay action OF
alter sentiment on the Jones bill"
Senator Hitchcock said the commit
tee proposed to mako no suggestion to
the insular government that it investi-
gate the cause of the disturbances
while the Philippine bill was pending.
Such an investigation might prove ad-
however, he said, to those
desiring independence.

MESSAGE Read
U'ssd Operators 10 Get In Good
GraCeS Of the Public
SENSATION At the HEARING

Dispatch Made Reference to an ArbI.
trary Settlement Plan Advanced by
Colorado Mine Owners Through
Governor Ammons-Introduce For
Purpose Of lmpeaching Rockefeller's
Testimony Before Committee.
Denver. Dec. 5.-A telegram from
John d. Rockefeller, Jr., to Jesse F..
Welborn, president, and L. M. Bow
ers, chairman, of the board of Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron company, created
sensation at the hearing of the fed
eral commission on industrial rela-
tions.
This message, instructing the local
men to do certain things calculated to
entrencn the coal operators in the
good graces of the public, was pro-
cured in mysterious manner by the
miners union and copies were SUBJ
mitted to the federal commission, to
NC ldICl db cNIutHCe.
Welborn admitted the authenticity
of the telegram, which is introduced
for the purpose of impeaching the
testimony of John d. Rockefeller, Jr.,
given before the congressional COM
mittee, denying tnat he had any ac-
tive connection with the operators
conduct of the strike.
The telegram made reference to an
arbitrary settlement plan which had
been advanced by the operators
through Governor Ammons and Rock
efeller concluded by saying:
1T seems to us that the operators
should call Dr. Fosters attention
(meaDing Representative Foster of H.
linois) to these facts and reiterate
their Willingness to accept this settle
ment. By so doing they will place
themselves in very strong position
before the public in that it would be
evident that all disorderc,since Nov.
81, has been due to the refusal of the
union to accept the settlement which
was proposed by the governor and ac-
cepted by the operators, but rejected
by the miners. Unless in the mean
time there has been an important
change in the situation, as stockhold-
ers and directors we strongly urge
that the operators make reply to DR..
Foster along these lines"
Former United States Senator Pat
terson concluded his testimony by
making strong plea for compul-
sory arbitration law, intimating that
the operators by refusing to meet the
men in conference considered that all
men are not born equal. He said sucn
o law was necessary to bring the op-
orators to their senses.
