ROCKEFELLER, JR., IS
BLAMED FOR STRIKE
Frank P. Walsh Says He Has
Evidence to Prove Million
aires Guilt.

KANSAS CITY, Mo- April 2i.-That
John u, Rockefeller Jr., instead of being
ignorant of the strike situation in Colo
rado. as he pleaded at recent hearing
In New York, really personally directed
the fight on the coal miners. is the belief
today OF Chairman Frank P, Walsh. of
the Industrial Relations Commission, fol-
lowing the discovery of correspondence
between Rockefeller and the officials of
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
The startling correspondence will re-
open the whole case, according to Walsh,
One of the alleged documents implied
that Rockefeller had dictated a Cover
nor's letter TO President Wilson.
While Rockefeller told the commission
at New York and also the Congressional
Investigating Committee that he had kept
his hands off the strike situation and
had no knowledge OF conditions in the
strike zone. Walsh said the letters show
that the directing mind throughout the
struggle In which women and men were
killed was at % Broadway.
The commission has made a part of
its record, Walsh said, "a mass of cor
respondence not only showing that the
Rockefellers were personally in constant
touch with every phase of the Colorado
coal strike situation, but that they knew
the strike was coming and were pre-
pared for 1t. We have letters of Mr.
