Washington, April 29.-John d. Rookie
Teller was criticised IN the House to-day
when Representatives Heating, OF Colo

Representative Bryan said conditions in
the coal strike region were "deplorable'
and announced that at IS the duty OF

Gated his bill for the condemnation by

Mines Committee demonstrated that the
government could run tho mines more
efficiently and humanely than the Rookie

Mr. Heating This Is evidenced by the
statement issued IN his behalf last night,
which I will put into The Record We
will not quarrel with Rockefeller about
some OF the theories in his statements
but we must condemn his practices. The
uniform practice OF Rockefeller and his
representatives is TO deny his employees

matter Of common knowledge that no
union man can obtain employment in the
