He said 80 today in testifying before the inquiry being conducted here by the United States commission on indus trial relations into the administration of the great philanthropic foundations of the country and the cause of in- dustrisl unrest
 The Rockefeller Foundation recently appointed William Lyon Mackenzie King, former Canadian minister of labor, to make a study of industrial relations.

Com pers, should be curbed by law or regulation. I understood that the foundation used it's influences to get it's representative in the list of off cials of the federal government and that this gave the foundation the right to the franIzing privilege. This, J think, was a fraud upon the gov srnment, a violation of the principles of education and an imposition upon the people Of this country. I do not think the people are ready to sur render their rights, especially to a foundation which has such Q history behind It of the means by which the money was first made and later ac- cumulated'

 Bescised With Threats.
 The former gambler declared that Sullivan had been ''besieged with threats and promises because of his and suggested that "the present at tack upon the minister might be an aftermath of this refusal to be swerved from his duty. Sullivan acted for him without pay, he said.
 "All he got out of it was T thank you.'' remarked the witness.
