CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-The responsibility
for the strike of the coal miners in
Colorado in 1913 and 1914 and for the
suffering and disorder that followed lies
with John ID. Rockefeller. John d.
Rockefeller, Jr., their Incompetent n
reactionary agents. and the Colorado
officials whom they were able to use for
their own purposes, according to a re-
port written by George T.. West and
made public to-day by the United States
Commission on Industrial Relations.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron Company,
controlled by the Itockefellers, Is de-
clared to have been the leader in form
ulating and carrying out strike policies.
and the Rockefellers are charged with
having given their heartiest indorse-
ment and support to policies which
preclpitated the worst of the troubles
OF the miners there is little said in
blame. Any deeds of violence OF which
the miners were guilty are brushed
aside as having been perfectly natural

GETS 2-cENT MONEY ORDER
Two-cent Balance Is Paid Through Ex-
press Company by Kansas
Woman.

The smallest money order ever made
out by the agent for the local express
company was given to woman to pay
on an account owed to a mail-order
house, according to a Blackwell story
printed in the Ardmoreite. The wom-
an had received letter from the mail
order house notifying her that she
owed the firm two cents. Indignant
and unable to realize the spirit that
would prompt anyone to mail bill
for two cents, the woman decided that
a post Office stamp would not suffice
and that only money order would do.
The fee for the order was three cents
and the postage stamp necessary to
carry it cost two cents more, so that
with the two-cent postage stamp that
carried the bill to the woman seven
cents was expended in collecting .

Compensation Law May Cut Down
School Revenues.
Denver. = The authorities of the
school districts of the state have
awakened to the fact that unless they
obtain permission to carry their own
risks / per cent Of every dollar dis
bursed in school payrolls must be paid
into the state fund for compensation
insurance on teachers and other school
employees.
The Colorado workmen's compensa
tion law went into effect Aug. /, and
protests against it's operation with re
gard to schools began coming in to
the Industrial Commission from every
part of the state. 1t is contended by
the school authorities that in view OF
the minimum risks attaching to occu
patton in the schools, the rate Of ]
per cent is excessive and will tend to
compel the schools to help insure
more hazardous occupations.
The law, however, is specific in that
it fixes the rate to be paid by the
school district, the state itself, coun.
ties, cities, towns and all other taxing
units, while the rate on other occupa
tions is determined by the risk ex.
perience of those occupations. Thir
teen counties and towns have also
filed their protests, but the most Wig.

fact that many nonresident signatures
we're on the petition. Many testified
that they had not signed, but that
their signatures had been forged, and
various other Irregularities prompted
the action of Secretary Ramer.
