ROCKEFELLER CALLS CHARGE
THAT 1T IS HIS WAR INFAMOUS

that presented any difficulty, and that
the operators accepted in full the
governors suggestion:
j. F. Welborn, John c. Osgood,
ID. W. Brown, operators, and 7. K.
Evans, Archie Allison, David Ham
mon, miners, Denver.
Gentlemen: Having listened to
your conference and believing from
representations made that there is no
material difference between you suff1-
cfent to warrant a continuance of the
present difficulties, I desire to make
suggestion for the termination of the
present industrial dispute.
The one apparently insurmounta-
BILE obstacle to a settlement was the
recognition of the union, and almost
every other material difference be-
tween you hinged about that ques-
tion or is covered by existing law.
There is no law compelling the
operators to recognize the union nor
to permit the employees to exact that
recognition. The statute does pro-
vide, however, for the right to join
a union if the miners so wish with
out coercion or interference. This law
has been read TO all the conferees and
its provisions agreed to by each con-
fierce.
Rights to Mine Employees.
Bearing in mind the discussion
on the other points involved, | sug-
gest the following as satisfactory
solution:
1.-The employment of a check
weighman as provided by law, giving
the miners themselves the right to
choose their own checkweighman.
1.-The carrying out in good faith
the statute making it unlawful to use
or employ, directly or indirectly, the
so-called truck or scrip system in
the payment of men.
1.-The enforcement of the law for
an eight-hour day in all underground
mines and coke ovens.
"'That all employees shall have the
right. to buy where they will without
interference or coercion Of any kind
whatsoever.
"'That all employees shall have the
semi monthly payday according to
the custom now prevailing in coal
mines over most of the State.
THAT all employees shall have the
right to board where they please.
1.-The enforcement of all the pro-
visions of the coal mine inspection
law of 1913, providing for the safety
of the mine and the protection of
the life and health of the employees.
"'That all employees now on strike
shall be given employment ex-
cept where their places have been
filled or where they have been
guilty of violence or other unlawful
acts, and that where places have been
filled other work will be furnished as
soon as practicable
THE operators letter of acceptance
Is as follows:
Strive hereby accept your sug-
gestions for the termination of the
strike of our former employees.
I'VE invite them to return to work
on the terms mentioned by you and
assure you and our former employees
that we will conform in good faith
to all the suggestions contained In
YOUR letter."

Special Panel of 800 Is
Drawn for Second Murder
Trial of Charles Becker

NEW YORK, May IA special
panel of 300 talesmen for the second
trial of Charles Becker, the former
police lieutenant charged with the
murder of the gambler Herman
Rosenthal, has been drawn, and Dis
trict Attorney Whitman has begun
secret investigation of every man on
the panel. Subpoenas We're issued for
the talesmen to appear in the Supreme
Court next Wednesday, the day set
for the trial to begin, making it ap-
parent that Mr. Whitman does not
intend to ask for an adjournment of
the trial. Becker was convicted after
the murder, but the State Court of
Appeals set aside the verdict, at the
same time denying the four gunner,
since executed, a new trial.
The list of talesmen shows a pre-
ponderance of bankers, brokers, real
estate men. publishers and men in
engineering branches, but with the
trades not unrepresented.

NEW YORK. May lin a state
ment just issued showing the death
rate from cancer in 1918 the Ameri-

Cancer calls attention to the need
of the national movement to check
the death rate from this source.
For New York city the rate was
80 in each 100000 of the population,
against an average of 10 for the last
five years. For Boston the rate was
11S, against an average of 70 for the
last five years. and for Chicago Sc,
against an average of 81. Other cities
showed similar increases in the last

NEW YORK, May Ito describe
the situation in Colorado as Rookie
feler's War" is infamous, according
to John d Rockefeller. jr., in a state
ment given out here last night.
He asserted that the deplorajble
loss of life in Colorado, especially
that among the women and children,
which has SO aroused public feeling,
did not occur in conflicts between the
owners Of the mining properties and
the strikers, but in conflicts between
the strikers and troops of the State
OF Colorado.
Concerning the events in the
Trinidad district" he continues, 1.-The
acknowledgements of Colorado said:
My Investigations of the riots
near Trinidad have disclosed the most
terrible onditions-condition which
have never been equaled in this or
any other State. Even granting all
of the strikers claims concerning the
actions of the militia, 1t is not justi-
fable that the strikers themselves
should murder women and children
as they have done today and are do
ing, nor for them to burn and destroy
hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of property.
mo Justification for Murders"
"'They have no justification for
numbering men whose only offence
is that they are seeking to earn a
living without a permit from the
United Mine Workers of America.
1.-The trouble was started by the
strikers killing a non-union man,
whose only offence was in walking
to his work without their permission.
ITO describe this condition as
'Rockefeller's War as has been done
by certain of the sensational news
papers and speakers, is Infamous.
Our interest is solely In the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company, which is
simply one of large number of coal
operating companies in Colorado.
~. c. Osgood, president of the
Victor-American Fuel Company one
of the other large coal companies in
Colorado, gave the following state
ment today: The idea that Mr..
Rockefeller is responsible for the
strike Is absurd, for the other coal
companies would not have recognized
the unions regardless of what action
he took with the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company. The latter company
does only about thirty per cent. of the
coal business in Colorado This shows
that our interest in the coal business
in Colorado is only about twelve per
cent of the total.
William r. Green, secretary-treas-
urer of the United Mine Workers of
America, has issued a stateemnt, say
ing: Nor is it true as Mr.. Rookie
Teller says. that the question in con-
tention Is the unionizing of the mines.
This has not been and is not now the
issue
Recognition of Unions.
"In this connection I desire to quote
the following letter from the governor
of Colorado, dated November q, 1913,
and the reply of the operators of the
same date, showing that the recogni-
ton of the union was the only issue

CUBA CROP.-HaVana June 70,
19l4.-The second half of the month
of May was abundant in rains, forcing
some Centrals to prematurely end
their crop. j.. -. &c., J..
The information received in those
days from various sources caused u.s.
to make recount of the sugars o.
to be received following for normal
weather in the eastern provinces),
giving as a result that our apprecia-
ton of the crop had to be reduced to
2,50S,000 tons approximately. .
So far the month of June is dry in
various localities, especially in Cal
BARREN and Sagua, and the seven Cen.
trails still in activity there have taken
advantage of the favorable conditions,
but as the rendiment daily becomes
poorer and the workmen scarcer their
production will hardly affect the ulti-
mate result of the crop. "
In the eastern provinces fifteen Cen
trails are still grinding, of which one.
half are about ready to stop The
rest will probably continue in activity
for a couple of months, and in ac-
cordance with the favorable or unra.
vOrable weather conditions. NAV vary
the total of the production from 5000
to 10000 tons more or less.
The general aspect az tie i1nIds is
good, but it is necessary that the
rains should again become general III
order that the canes may develop.

Before the Andean Upheaval

The question which confronts the
archaeologist is, how could popula.
ton sufficiently numerous to accom-
plish the building of such a city as
Tiahuanacu. in Bolivia, have main
tanned itself in this region? The
ruins are located $4,000 feet above
the level of the sea on a vast plateau
where the constant cold prevents the
maturing of corn or other grain. At
present potatoes, oca and some other
edible roots are grown, but the region
sustains only scanty mountain pop
ulation. The city once covered a
large area, the great structures were
built by skilled masons One stone
is &c feet long by seven feet wide
and weighs 40 tons. another is 26
feet by sixteen. and six feet thick
Only the monoliths of ancient Egypt
equal those found in Tiahuanacu. The
movement and placing of such mono
liths point to dense population, to
an organized government, and conse-
quently to large agricultural area
with means Of transportation FROM
Various directions
The only tenable explanation i.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1914-07-06

that at the time when Tiahuanacu
ffourished the Andes were from 1000
to 5000 feet lower than at present.
Biologists hold that in the Jurassic
and even in the Cretaceous period
there were no Andes, and that
through a gradual upheaval they have
been formed in more recent geologl-
cal times. The bones of mastodoH
have been discovered in Bolivia at an
altitude of 1900 feet abovs the sea,
and such an animal could not have
existed at such an elevation. Skele-
tons of gigantic anteater have been
found in the deserts of Tar9paca,
and these could only have existed in
regions of arboreal vegetation. These
and other geological facts support the
theory that the ancient city OF Tia
huanacu existed when the Andes
we're much lower than at present,
perhaps when the cave man of Brit
ain was fighting for his life with cave
bear, wild boar and mastodon, and
sketching their rude pictures on the
walls of his primitive subterranean
dwelling.

CentralS working still.
This news stimulated the market
here temporarily, but had no effect

According to Mr. Himley exports

New Orleans and 5000 tons to Calves

The Cuba weather continues to be
reported fine, but rains will soon be
needed for the good Of the growing
crop. Some of the largest factories
are included in the nine Centrals clos
