ROCKEFELLER, JR., DIsCLAIMs
BLAME FOR LOSS OF LIFE IN
COLORADO MINE STRIKE

New York, April 30;-Mr. John d.
Rockefeller. jr.. tonight issued the fol-
lowing statement:
THE deploraole loss Of life In Colorado,
especially that among the women and
children, which has so much aroused pub
lie feeling, did not occur in conflicts be-
tween the owners of the mining proper
ties and the strikers but in conflicts be-
tween the strikers and the troops OF the
State OF Colorado"
Concerning the events in the Trinidad
district, the lieutenant governor Of Colo
RADIO said:
My investigation of the riots near
Trinidad have disclosed terrible con-
ditions- Even granting all of the strik-
ers' claims concerning the actions OF the
militia, II is not Justiflable that the
strikers themselves should murder women
and children as they have done today
and are doing. nor for them to burn and
destroy hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth of property.
They have no justification for mur-
dertng men whose only offense Is that
they are seeking to earn a living with
out a permit from the United Mine
Workers of America.
; The trouble was started by the strfk-
ers killing a nonunion man whose only
offenSe was in walking to his work with

Samuel Gompers, president Of TIE
American Federation Of Labor. said that
the Indignation of the Colorado miners
is such that they are threatening a
countrywide miners strike and that this
is being avoided only by the greatest
effort Of the miners executive officers
We are not at all sure" said Mr..
Gompers, that our national officers will
be able to avert this strike. President
John p White. Vice President Frank
Hayes. and Secretary William Green con-
stitute our executive forces in the strike
region. Within the last few days we
have received numerous and urgent ap-
peals by telegraph asking us to appeal
to President Wilson before the situation
gets beyond our control. The officers in
the field are certain that unless the Fed
eral troops are able to restore order
and prevent the wholesale murder Of
miners in Colorado that the situation will
cause q sympathetic strike by the entire
miners Organization in every part Of the
country"

recalled that each Republican governor

from the political circle had always don,

Foster, who was later In Washington
as Secretary OF the Treasury, had two
terms as governor and his administTa a

nell lacked the political skill OF Foster
but he was a successful business mar
and run State affairs as he did his big
factory at Springfield.
The politician has been supreme In the
State House since BUshnelTs time, and
there is demand for getting back 70
another term of actual business rather
than political administration.
Tod is thus far the one actual business
man in the running for the Republican
nomination. His chief competitor at
present is Frank B. Willis, one Of the
three Republican Congressmen from Ohio,
and until the last week, Willis was
jubilant and confident of an easy nOml-
nation at the primaries in August The
wonder was that he had apparently SO
little opposition. as the old political wise
ones could not understand why Foraker
and Dick. who retain remarkable
supremacy in Ohio Republican affairs,
should proudly allow Willis to continue
rampant, and even reckless in the run
ming for executive honors.
Week of Awakening.
Apparently both Foraker and Dick
have awakened within the last week and
appreciated the fact that the success
OF Willis bodies no good for their polit-
ical future in Ohio.
First of all they realize that Willis,
II nominated and elected. would as
seTnble an organization OF his own with
ambitious designs on the Senatorship
ana even the Presidency.
There would be no diplomatic juggling
with Willis. once he got a grip on thingx.
and the friends of Foraker and Dick
know in advance how swiftly they would
be thrown into the discard.
Hence the word has passed among the
loyal Republicans of the old guard that
stood by Mckinley and Hanna, by For
aker and Dick and Loyalty even IL half
heartedly by Taft. that Willis will not do.
The old guard is careful not to Indicate
a choice even II the sentiment grows
stranger for a calm business man hike
Tod. and besides the design OF the old
line Republicans is not TO actually name
a candidate. but TO prevent the naming
OF one who might fail to play fair and
stay put once he achieved either nomi-
nation or election.
The demand in Ohio is for a getting
together and a getting back to the big
stone building on High street. which is
called the state House" rather than
the capitol
The feeling grows that the bounding
politician and orator cannot do it this
year OF our Lord and there Is a stronger
sentiment each day for a business man
OF the Tod type who will take hold with
out elocutionary defamation or rhetorical
reaching out to the clouds during the
progress OF the campaign.
