note that Jesse r Weiborn. president
OF the Rockefelier companies IN Col
GRADE. gives labored intervisw at
lrmpting 90 show that no anoh letters
were even written, while l.. A. how
ere. chairman of the executive com.
mlttee OF the Rockefeller interests IN
Colorado. now At hinghamton. fur
nlshes his somewhat lame eontribu-
ton 70 the Rockefeller defense by
confesslnE the authenticity OF the
correspondence. but declaring that ir
Gid not amount 70 Anything. and boz
sides, Il had been uncovered ey the
congresc onai committee.
n must confess q certain degree Of
disappointment. however, with Mr.
Rockefellere statement. He falls to
explain. Ia any way. the amazing con-
fessions Of Mr.. Bowers that the Cob
orado Fuel and Iron company leads
IN fixing prices and conditions of IA
bor. lie faiis to set forth the piem-
orandum which he declared IN his
letter OF July 3. 1914, with which he
ls not entirely satisfied, but 10 which
ne makes certain amendments Tor
Governor Ammons. Alsn, the ex-
plnnatIon of Mr.. Rockefeller was
fragmentary to say the least. In that
u dtd NOT eoatain the names and io-
catlans Of the friendly papers to
which the story ef the Ludlow mas
sacrc was TO be given ns suggested IN
the agreement from Mr.. Bowers ON
the morning after that unspenkabie
horror

feller defense to the Ludlow mas
sacre IL that tho two women and
/ eleven children who met their deaths
/ slt.4 a a4.a
shot. but merely smothercd IN n pit.
while the bullets from the mlne
guards Of their company wers flying
over the mouth % the pit. Entire
eandor. however. should have moved
Mr. Rockefeller 10 add the additional
dctnli that his mine guards IN the
gnise of state mslitlamen. burned
down the tents and looted the victims
before and after their deaths.
"Alr. Roekefeller's personal abuse
of myself l. ln line with the custom
airy Rockefeller policy OF crushing
any individual who opposes hin. IN
any way. meet Il with composuFe.
however. feeling sure that thls very
publicity will create sentiment
among American people which viii
prevent a recurrence OF the Ludlow
horror and. perhaps, &c a long way
toward reestablishlng republican
fom OF governments IN those commun-
tiles coatroiled by the Rockefeller in
