J. R. Lawson Charges Oil Kings
Son Ignores Toilers Even
While They Starve.
RAKEs THE FOUNDATION, TOO
Official of United Mine Workers Says
Institution Seeks to Substitute
Philanthropy for Justice =
Tells Suffering.

New York, Feb. Coming almost
straight from the office of John d.
Rockefeller, Jr., where he had a
friendly chat with him over condi-
tions in the mines of Colorado. John
R. Lawson, a member of the execu-
tive board of the United Mine Work
ers, for the district including Colora-
do, read before the federal commission
on industrial relations a scathing In
dictment of Mr. Rockefeller and the
attitude he had displayed before the
commission.
The policies and purposes OF the
$100,000,000 Rockefeller foundation
and the recent utterances of young Mr.
Rockefeller on the witness stand were
assailed by Mr.. Lawson.
Among other things Mr.. Lawson as
serted "a skillful attempt is being
made to substitute philanthropy for
Justice"
Money "WithheId" From ToiIer.
In assailing the Rockefeller founda-
ton he asserted that one of the
causes of industrial discomfort was
that very philanthropy and the feeling
that the millions spread over the
world in snowy generosity" were de-
rived from the money withheld from
the wages of the American working
class"
Mr.. Lawson criticized young Rookie
feller for his lack of knowledge of
conditions among employees of the
Colorado Fuel company, and said he
was equally as ignorant and indiner-
ent as his trusted executives.
Your body cam well afford to let
the testimony of John D. Rockefeller.
Jr., bring your investigation to an
end" Mr.. Lawson told the commits
sion.
Out of his mouth came reason
for every discomfort that agitates the
laboring class in the United States to-
day, and if remedies are provided for
the injustices that he disclosed Ion;
step will be taken away from indus
trial disturbance"
Mr.. Lawson told of the shooting of
striking miners in Colorado. the shat
tering of miners homes, how hundreds
were dumped in 1903 into the desert
without food or water" while others
were driven over the snow of the
mountain ranges.
Philanthropy "For Birds"
The philanthropy of the Rockefellers
Mr. Lawson referred to as follows:
Health for China, a refuge for
birds, food for Belgians, pensions foI
New York widows, university train
ing for the elect-and never thought

women and children who starved in
Colorado; for the widows robbed OF
husbands, children of their fathers.
There are thousands of Mr.. Rookie
feller's employees in Colorado who
wish to God they were in Belgium tc
be fed, or bird to be tende-ly cared
for"
-dr. Lawson's statement was a re
hearsal of the testimony of young Mr.
Rockefeller and a vigorous arraign
ment. of him for not having investi

Paris, Feb. French airmen, brav-
ing a terrific fire from German high
angle guns, have bombarded the head
quarters of General Won Heeringen,
commander of the German army of the
center, at Laon. Severe damage was
done to the German works at Laon, La
Fere, Creepy and Coucy. ALI of
these points are situated north and
northeast of scissors in the now ia
nous elbow formed by the junction
of the Aisne and Disc rivers.
The German attempts to swing
across the Aisne in the angle of the
river at Venizel had for its object
the capture of spur of railway line
running from Venizel into scissors.
Aerial Activity Increased.
The German efforts broke down un-
der the combined artillery and ma
chine gun fire of the French, who hold
strongly fortified positions on the
Aisne at Venizel
Official dispatches from all sections
of the battle front show the increase
of aerial activity among the French,
British and Germans.
Fairly violent artillery duels are
reported from Ypres, in West Elan
ders. Arras. Reims and the heights of
the Meuse.
Despite fog and cold weather. the
French pressure in the Vosges and in
upper Alsace is continuing without any
cessation.
At the other end of the battle line,
upon the coast of the North sea, the
Belgian, French and British forces are
pressing vigorously, to push back the
extreme end of the German right
flank.
