OConnell, second vice president of the
American Federation of Labor, members
of the federal commission on industriai
relations, delivered addresses at the reg
ular meeting of the Denver Trades and
Labor Assembly last Sunday afternoon
in Painters Union hall. Both these
noted men of organized labor were given
an enthusiastic reception by large
number of delegates and many visiting
labor unionists present Austin B. Car
retson. president of the Order of Rail
way Conductors, also member of the
commission, had expected to be present
but was called to his home at Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, on important business the
Saturday evening previous.
Commissioner Lennon was the first
speaker introduced by President Earl
r. Hoage and said he was especially
plea sed to meet with the Assembly dele
gates because as a member of the Tail

charter members OF the first central
body formed in Denver, and declared
that all the prominence he had gained

tributed TO the early schooling received
in the meetings here.

IMMIGRATION TIDE SHIFTS
TO SOUTHERN PART EUROPE
One Person Out of Every Seven in
U. S. Born on Foreign Soil.

In statement prepared by the Ma
tional Geographic Society it is shown
that the character OF the annual influx
of new blood from Europe to America
has undergone very remarkable change
in recent decades.
During the decade of lSslls90 the
tide of humanity from Europe brought
us l,452 600 Germans and 30I 900 ltal-
ians. The decade OF l90l-l9l0 brought
34l 900 Germans and 2,o45.ooo Italians.
The figures indicate the falling off of
immigration from northwestern Europe
and the rise of the tide from southeast
ern Europe.
~One person out of every seven in the
United Safes was born outside of our
borders. We have today l3,5o0,oo0 peo-
Pile of foreign birth with us and nearly
all OF them are from Europe. They con-
stitute population approximately
equal to the combined populations of
Belgium and Holland, or OF Norway,
Sweden. Denmark and Switzerland.
approximately $3.50 600 people came
to the United States to stay during the
decade between 1901 and 1910. History
records no other such great migration as
this. Compared with it the Tartar In
vasion of Russia. the Saracen invasion
of southern Europe and the exodus OF
the children of Israel were insignificant
in numbers.

John R. Lawson Puts Active Relief
for Colorado Miners Squarely
Up to President Wilson

Inquiry into the Colorado coal strike
by the federal commission on industrial
relations came to close late
Wednesday evening after hearing
testimony for two weeks. OF all the
varied investigations held during the
past year this was the one real probe
that uncovered the mudsills and dis
closed the manner in which the mine
owners have manipulated state politics,
the militia. and kept their employees in
a state of peenage- Responsibility in
the true sense was laid squarely at the
feet OF John D. Rockefeller. While the
hearings in Denver have closed the in
quiry as to Rockefeller's connection
with industrial unrest will be continued
at a meeting OF the commission in Wash
ington on December 2s, and again in
New York on January II.
1t was disclosed by testimony OF Gov

Fred Farrar that martial law had not
been legally proclaimed at any time
during the strike. and that the militia
operated by authority assumed under
the odious decision OF the State Su-
preme Court in the Meyer case. Far

of the strike leaders to be anarchists,

vorable to the operators and against the
miners. He was the only witness who
charged the union officials with cont
spring to bring about the Ludlow mas.
sacre.
Farrar testified that e3 indictments
have been returned at Canon City, %
for murder. and that seven cases are
now on trial: that les indictments had
been returned at Trinidad, many for
