OLD POLICY OF

Younger Rockefeller.

CHICAGO, April 27.-"Mr. Rookie.
feller's personal abuse OF myself is In
line with the Rockefeller policy of
crushing any Individual who opposes
him in any way" said Chairman
Frank p. Walsh, OF the United States
commission, on Industrial relations to-
day. in replying to the young oil
baron's published statements desig-
mating Walsh as "falsifer."
Il can stand the abuse" he con-
tinued, feeling sure that this very
publicity will create sentiment
among the American people which
will prevent recurrence Of the Lud-
low horror, and, perhaps, go long
way toward re-esta blishing a republi-
can form of government in those COM
munities controlled by the Rockefel-
Ter interests.
Tt is interesting to note that the
Rockefeller defense to the Ludlow
massacre is that the two women and
eleven children who met their deaths
on that occasion were not shot" but
merely smothered to death, while bul-
lets from the mine guards Of his COM
panies were flying over the mouth OF
the pit. Entire candor, however.
should have moved young Rockefeller
to add the additional detail that his
mine guards. In the guise Of state
militiamen, burned down the tents
and looted victims before and after
death.
''RockefelIer's anger and resent
ment toward me obviously grows out
OF misconception by him of my
duties as chairman OF the industrial
relations commission. I was not ap-
ointed to ''ailay'' or smother the
causes Of Industrial unrest, but to in

the world.
