WASHINGTON, Feb. SAN organ
lied effort 10 discredit the findings OF
the Federal Industrial Relations Com.
mission, OF which Frank Walsh, OF
Kansas City Is chairinan, has begun
It's operations In several directions.
The Rockefeller Foundation first I'M
dertook 10 counterfeit the work OF the
federal commission by starting It's
own private investigation OF Industrial
conditions. To this end II announced
Pthe appointment OF Mackenzie King,
former labor commissioner or Canada,
to have charge Of the Rockefeller In
ldustrial. Commission. Whereupon the
federal commission decided TO inyesti-
gate the Rockefeller Foundation. THIS
was made additionally necessary by
| the revelations made before the COM
mission In its investigation or strike
conditions In Colorado.
The activities OF the commission In
starting the foundation inquiry have
aroused the most intense opposition.
This may be seen In the concerted
effort to discredit Chairman Walsh
made through editorial attacks and
criticisms In practically all the great
newspapers IN the east. The day
Walsh arrived In New York, some re-
marks which he made at small gath
ering on the east side were picked up
and made the object or attack In no
Il less than six of the great New York
dailies, namely the Evening Post, the
Times, the Tribune, the Sun, the
World and the Press. On the follow
sey papers and scores OF others OF
lesser influence.
The remarks which brought forth
this broadside were merely q sugges-
tion by Chairman Walsh that IL the
supreme court had restored to the
public the property stolen by great
corporations In the past. there would
be less OF Industrial unrest ut the
present time. Ii this recommendation
as TO the return OF stolen property had
been made about hungry man who
had stolen a ham. these newspapers
could have borne 1t. But when II
touched such great interests as stand
ard Oil and the Rockefeller Founda-
ton, they found II necessary to devote
no less than q total OF seven and q
half columns to the following state
ments: ID That Walsh is unworthy
OF notice. (2) That his statements
are Socialistic. 90 That his investi-
CATION must be non-judicial and par
tial (D That he ought to be gagged
and thrown into the East river. or
words to that effect.

tons Commission, according TO the
law creating It. as to discover II pos
sible the causes OF Industrial unrest"
and to suggest remedial legislation.
