UNION NINE LEADER
fLAYS ROCKEFELLER

New York, Jan. 3O.-The policies
and purposes of the 100000. 900
Rockefeller foundation and the recent
utterances on the witness stand of
John D. Rockefeller. Jr., were assail.
ed bitterly by John II. Lawson. a
member Of the board of the United
Mine Workers of America for the dis
trict which includes Colorado. when
he appeared as representative OF the
coal miners at the hearing being con-
Quoted by the federal commission on
industrial relations.
Among other things Mr.. Lawson as.
serted, "a skillful attempt is being
made to substitute philanthropy for
justice"
Mr.. Lawson criticised John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., for his lack of knowl.
edge Of conditions and said he was
equally as ignorant and Indifferent as
his trusted executives"
Here is Lawson's Characterization
of the philanthrophy of the Rookie
fellers:
Health for China, a refuge for
birds, food for the Belgians, pensions
for New York widows. university
training for the elect-and never a
thought or a dollar for the thousands
Of men, women and children who
starved in Colorado, for the widows

Senators Join Republicans in
Opposing Ship Purchase.
REVOLT s1AGGERs LEADERS
Action May Result in Sending the
Bill Back to the Commerce
Committee.

Washington, Feb. with stagger
ing suddenness nine senate Demo
Gratis formed an alliance with Repuo
licans in an effort to send the gov
eminent ship purchase bill back to
the commerce committee.
The revolt, as unexpected as 1t was
sudden, turned in twinkling an ad'
ministration advantage into a defen
sive position, which seemed almost
hopeless to many Democratic lead
ers.
Forced to fight for the life OF the
measure the Democrats succeeded IN
adjourning the senate, with the mo-
ton to recommit pending and q party
caucus was called.
Senator Clarke of Arkansas, Demo
crat and president pro tempore of the
senate, revolutionized the situation
which has held the senate in dead
lock for many days. He rose while
Senator William A. Smith of Michl
gan was concluding a long speech
against the shipping bill and asked
him to yield for motion.
The senator yielded, having learn
ed the nature of the motion to come,
and Senator Clarke, introducing his
remarks with an appeal for consider
alton of other legislation, moved to
send the pending bill back to commit
tee.
Action Causes Great Surprise.
The pandemonium that followed
this development has not been
equaled in the senate in many years.
Senators poured from the cloakrooms
to the chamber like bees from a hive.
Republicans, forewarned, were the
first on the scene.
AS soon as administration leaders
could catch their breath Senator
Fletcher, in charge of the bill, made
a point Of order against the motion.
which Vice President Marshall sus-
tanned. Senator Clarke appealed from
the decision and the chair was over
ruled by . vote Of 46 to 81, nine Demo
Gratis joining the Republicans.
After some further parliamentary
maneuvering Senator Reed took the
floor and, denouncing his Democratic
colleagues for their detection. accused
the opponents of the bill of being in
fiuenced by the shipping trust"
Both sides seemed to be willing to
declare truce to take stock of the
new situation and when Senator
Fletcher moved an adjournment there
was no opposition.

TO TAKE EFFECT on MARCH !
Western Roads Ask Increase in Pas
senoer Rate.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Twenty-tive
railroads west of Chicago, including
all lines entering St. Paul, filed new
tariffs with the interstate commerce
commission increasing their passen-
ger rates from 2 cents to 21a cents a
mile.
The new fares will become effective
March 1, unless they are suspended
by the commission, which is not con-
sidered likely by railroad officials.
They were filed to give the commits
sion the thirty days required by law
for investigation and the hearing of
complaints. Clifford Thorne of the
Iowa railroad commission has an
nounced his intention of leading a
fight against the increases.
