UPTON SINCLAIR MAKES SOME SNAPPY
STATEMENTS IN LETTER TO JOHN D.

y pun IAS duIAO1, "4OIO
a letter to John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
the other day 1t was very wonder
full letter in spots. 1t told of the suf-
fering of the men, women and chill
dren of Colorado. And then it told of
the injustice of the Rockefellers.
The letter starts by telling Rookie
Teller of the futile attempts made to
see him by Sinclair and wife of one
of the striking miners of Colorado.
Scattered through the letter are
the following passages:
81 have met a mother who was
made a target. for militia bullets
while she dragged her two children
away from the blazing village of Lud-
low; another whose three children
were left behind to perish in that in
ferno.
at seems to me as if the air l
breathed were full of the smoke of
powder and the scent of burning hui
man flesh; as if my ears were deaf
ened with the screams of women and
children.
Moreover, Mr. Rockefeller, it is
proper to point out how 1t happens
that ignorant foreigners are employ
ed in your mines. Twelve years ago
there was a strike against exactly the
same evil conditions and the COM
panies drove out the Welsh, Cornish
and Irish miners and imported Slavs,
Greeks and South Enthusiastically
four different nationalities.
"They herded these people in
droves; once a year they marshaled
them to the polls and voted them,
under the direction of mine bosses
and political henchmen, suppressing
every trace of constitutional govern
ment in entire counties of an Amer
lean state.
But the conditions maintained

ignorant and helpless foreigners were
driven to revolt. Barriers of creed
and language were broken down, and
the people of twenty-four different
nations have fought as one nation
for their lives and liberties.
These things that l am telling are
true, Mr.. Rockefeller; they have been
proven, believe, to the satisfaction
of an overwhelming majority of the
American people. Since they have
been proven, you have begun trying
to evade responsibility for them.
when Judge Lindsey sought an
audience with you, your secretary an
swered that you were not in active
business and had no control over the
Colorado situation. But less than
two months ago you appeared before
the congressional investigating COM
mittee and assumed full responsible
ity for what had been done.
you stated that you represented
your fathers holdings, which were 40
per cent of the common stock of the
leading corporation in this strike dis
trict.
eff you shut your ears to this ap-
peal, if in this crisis you turn your
face to the past, before God, l pity
you; for the statement to which l
have referred, when signed, as it will
be signed, by most of the leading
spirits of our time, will constitute
terrible blasting.
There will be no place on this
earth to which you can flee to escape
from it; all the fortresses you can
build, all the searchlights and ma
chine guns and negro guards you can
gather about you, will not deliver

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-Prevail-

the theory that the decision in the

the general increase of five per cent
In freight rates asked for by the east
ern railroads, but that increases of
varying degrees would be granted ON
certain classes Of freight.
The general belief is that the COM
mission will uphold the contention of
Louis r. Brandeis that the railroads
should seek to render free service to
the large shipper such as the spotting
of cars and that thereby the roads
would be enabled to collect some $685.
100000 year which now is saved by
the larger shippers throughout the
country
Members of the commission today
were putting the finishing touches on
the decision. There was no evidence
as to when it would be made public
They stated unofficially. however,
that days notice probably would be
given when the decision would be
ready and until that time no word of
the findings would be allowed to come
! before the eyes Of clerks and others.
Reports claiming to give the findings
of the commission in advance of the
official decision were declared to be
mere guesswOrk.

powders clog the pores, interfering
both with elimination and breathing,
especially during the heated period. If
more women understood this, there
would be fewer self-ruined complex

colized wax instead of cosmetics, they
would have natural, healthy complex
