that if the jobless men and women

ed he is firmly convinced the United

surance that it would be out of the
Pacific ocean by a fixed time.

Hobson declared the president ana

seemed singular the movement for
prohibition likewise found its great

Miners DRIVEN IN DESERT

New York, Jan. 29.--John II. Law
son, executive board member for
Colorado of the United Mine Workers
CT America, appeared before the fed
eral commission on industrial rela.
tiOns and attacked the testimony of
John d. Rockefeller, Jr,, and the
methods and purposes OF the Rookie
feller Foundation.
Tells Of Treatment.
Lawson told Of the shooting or
striking miners in Colorado, shatter-
ing the miners homes and how hun
dreds in 1903 were dumped into the
desert without food or water, while
others were driven over the snow of
the mountain ranges.
Arraigns Rockefeller.
He uttered vigorous arraignment
of Rockefeller for his confessed lack
of knowledge Of conditions among the
workers of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company. The philanthropy of the
ROckefellers, Lawson referred to as
follows:
Health for China, refuge for birds,
food for Belgians, pensions for New
York widows, university training for
the elect, but never a thought for the
thousands of men. women and child
rem who starved in Colorado, for the
widows robbed Of their husbands and
children Of their fathers. There are
thousands of Rockefeller's employees
in Colorado who wish to God they
were in Belgium to he fed, or bird
to be tenderly cared for
Represented Miners
Lawson appeared as a representa-.
tive Of the coal mines Among other
things LAWSON asserted "a skillful at.
tempt is being made to substitute
philanthropy for justice"
Lawson criticized Rockefeller, Jr,
for his lack OF knowledge of condi-
tions, and said he "is equally as ig-
norant and Indifferent as his trusted
executives"
eff any appearance of poverty
clings to the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company" he said, ''it is due to it's
own stupidity and corrupt policy, had
it taken money spent in controlling
the officials and electorate, in pur-
chasing machine guns and the en-
ployment Of gunner in crushing as
pirations of human beings and spent
it in wages and Improvement of work
ing conditions, they would have had
rich returns
