GUGGENHEIM TALKS
Hearers at Industrial Inquiry
Gasp at His SOcialistiC
Point of View.
WORKERS ENTITLED TO MUCH
"Profit Sharing, Old Age Pensions,
Big Inheritance Tax and More
Business Legislation"

New York, Jan 22.-'Every worker
in the United States is entitled to a
job, and the government should see
that he gets it. AS a matter of actual
right. the worker is entitled, in addi-
ton, to sickness insurance, to old age
pensions, and above all a share in the
profits resulting from his labor
That was the sentiment expressed
today by Daniel Guggenheim, million
aire mining and smelter operator, to
the Industrial Relations Commission.
The Listeners Gasped in Wonder.
Guggenheim was so radical in Ger
tain of his views as to cause audible
wonder from certain parts of the audi
ence. He openly characterized his
own views as Socialistic. He said he
believed a better day for Industrial
workers was dawning in the United
States, because employers are at last
realizing that they must be fair to
their employees. Envy he character
lied as the great canker affecting the
body polite, AMI he said he sympa-
thized with the envious worker.
The smelter king said he favored
trades Unionism as a general PROPOSE
ton, although he maintained the
open shop" in his own properties
z. J. Berwind. one of the biggest
coal operators in the United States,
another witness, said he believed the
maximum work day in that industry
should be of nine hours. He said that
while his properties were not union
lied, they paid the union wage scale.
But, he complained that his men
would work only about nineteen days
a month
Men Didn't Work Enough.
There are holidays, funerals, pay
days and the day after pay day" he
said, and the result is that we have

~J1other' Jones and several of the
mine workers from Colorado who are
here to testify before the commission,
entered the room.
Mother" Jones sat down a few feet
away from John D. Rockefeller, jr.,
and began curiously to examine him.
A few minutes later Mr.. Rockefeller
quietly slipped out of the room.
Wage earners, Mr.. Guggenheim
testified, had as much right to organ
ize as capitalists; the American
Smelling and Refining Company had
no objection to organizers going
among the employees, provided they
did not interfere with the operation
of the plants Mr. Guggenheim said
he believed Industrial discomfort was
on the increase and had been for
some years.

SOME CITIES BURIED
Town of Avezzano in Ruins and the

Killed or Hurt-Historie
Buildings are Dust.

All of the central part Of Italy
was devastated by a terrific earth
quake whose tremors began on the
afternoon Of January 13 and con
tinued internationally until the
night of January II. About 40, 900
persons were killed and more than
100000 were hurt. Some towns
were buried, others were levelled.
Many historic buildings and nu-
merous art treasures were de-
strOyed. Uncountable property
damage was wrought.
So great was the force of the
quake that practically all lives
of communication to the stricken
districts were cut. News of the
calamity-except brief bulletins
which only limited at the magni-
tude of the disaster not
reach the outside world for three
days. Then it was learned that
the catastrophe was havoc beyond
description.
In the wrecked communities the
dead lay everywhere Cries of the
wounded pinned under debris har-
ried the would-be rescuers, who
had no implements for releasing
them. Refugees began to suffer
from cold and hunger. Then came
disease. The situation was ex-
tremely critical before fifty thou
sand soldiers and the Italian Red
Cross could afford relief.
Motor cars offered about the
only means of transportation for
tracks had been twisted and rail
way bridges wrecked by the
quake. King Victor Emmanuel
led the organization of rescue and
remained on the scene of trouble
several days. The Italian govern
ment declined help from other

aid at once-and made an initial
appropriation of one million dol
lars for relief of the stricken
people.
What caused the quake is mere

been caused by vibrations from
heavy cannonading in Europe.
Santa Barbara, Calf, felt quake
