DENIAL WEAK
Walsh Declares Standard Oil Man Failed
to Refute His Charges Concerning
Colorado Strike Testimony.

Chicago, April 2s,-Frank P. Walsh
chairman of the United States commits
sion on industrial relations, returning
Yesterday from Kansas City, issued the
following statement in reply to the an
swer of John y. Rockefeller, IT,, to Mr.
Walsh's comments accompanying the cor
respondence in the Colorado Fuel g. Iron
case.
Il note that Mr.. Rockefeller, jr.. de-
nounces me as liar. The published
letters which arouse Mr.. Rockefeller's ire
are all admitted by him to have been
written and correctly quoted, so that his
yoluminous newspaper assertion is in no
sense a denial of anything given to the
press by me. Mr. Rockefeller's anger and
resentment obviously grow out of mis-
conception a. to my duties. ! was not
appointed to 'allay' or smother the
causes of industrial unrest, but to nves-
tigate them and make them manifest to
the world.
~ must confess certain degree of
disappointment. however. with Mr..
Rockefeler's statement. He fails to ex.
plain in any way the amazing confess
sions of Mr. Bowers that the Colorado
Fuel 4 Iron company leads in fixing
prices and conditions of labor He fails

declared in his letter of June IL. 1914. to
his publicity agent, Mr.. Lee. could be
appropriately used in the letter from
Governor Ammons TO President Wilson
ALSO the explanation of MIR. Rookie.
Teller WAS fragmentary. 10 say the least
in that il did not contain the names aud
locations of the friendly papers TO which
the story OF the Ludlow massacre was
TO b. given as suggested in the telegram
from Mr.. Bowers on the morning after
that unspesksble horror.
II am glad TO note that the Rockefel.
Ter defense TO the Ludlow massacre is
that the two women and eleven children
who met their deaths upon that awful
occasion were not shot. but merely +,
smothered in a pit. while the bullets from 4
the mine guards of their companies were /
flying over the mouth Of the pit. Entire 1
candor. however. should have moved Mr. 1
Rockefeller TO add the additional detail 4
that his mine guards. in the guise of |
state militiamen. burned down the tents
and looted the victims before and after
their deaths.
Mr.. Rockefellcr's personal abuse Of

Rockefeller policy Of crushing any indi-
