United Mine Workers EX-
ecutive Attacks Gal
legged Philanthropy"
MINERS STARVING
Says Refuge for Birds If
Furnished But Human
Beings Go Hungry.

NEW YORK. Jan. 29-The policies
Rockefeller foundation and the recent
utterances on the witness stand OF
John ID. Rockefeller, jr., were assailed
vigorously today by John r. Lawson,
executive board member Of the United
Mine Workers of America for the dis
trict which includes Colorado.
He appeared as "A representative Of
the coal miners at the hearing being
conducted by the federal commission
on industrial relations.
Among other things Mr.. Lawson as
serted "a skillful attempt is being
made to substitute philanthropy for
Justice"
To the philanthropy of the Rookie
fellers Mr.. Lawson referred as fol-
lows
Health for China, a refuge for
birds, food for the Belgians pensions
for New York widows, university
training for the elect-and never a
thought or dollar for the many thou
sands of men, women and children
who starved in Colorado, for the wild
ows Of robbed husbands, children of
their fathers. There are thousands Of
Mr.. ROckefeller's eX-emplOyes in Colo
rado today who wish to God they were
in Belgium to be fed, or a bird to be
tenderly cared for"
Mr. Lawson criticised John D..
Rockefeller jr., for his lack OF knowl-
edge of conditions and said he was
equally ignorant and Indifferent as
his trusted executives"
Many Are Hungry.
The witness told of the striking
miners in Colorado being shot down
by militia "in the pay of the Colorado
Fuel & Iron Co." and hundreds Of
persons being dumped into the desert
without food or water while others
were driven over the snow of the
mountain ranges.
"lf any appearance of poverty
clings to the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Co.." Mr.. Lawson declared ''it is due
to its own stupidity and corrupt pol
icy. Had 1t taken the money it has
spent in controlling officials and the
electorate, in purchasing machine
guns, the employment of gunner and
In crushing the aspirations of human
beings and spent it in wages and the
improvement of working conditions
1t would have had rich returns"
The manner in which the directing
forces of the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Co. handed down power from man
to man." Mr.. Lawson characterized
as a ''chain that no individual can
climb"
The Rockefeller foundation investi-
cation into industrial unrest, Mr., Law
son said, Is to be conducted by Mac
kenzie King. an alien, whose chief
contribution to the industrial problem
is law that prescribes a jail sem
tence for the worker who dares to lay
down his tools"

HOBS0N ASSAILS
WILSON'S POLICY
Says U. S. Bought Peace
With Japan by Agreeing
to Quit Philippines.

NTASHINGTON, Jan. 29-In a fl
w nal appeal in the house to-
night for a larger navy, Representa-
tive Hobson OF Alabama declared it
was his firm conviction that the Unit
cd States has obtained peace with
Japan only by giving assurance of
speedy retirement from the Philip
pines.
Moreover, in a part OF his speech,
which went into the record without
actually being delivered on the floor,
the Alabama representative said he
believed that when the American
fleet went around the world during
the Roosevelt administration it was
allowed to go to Japan only with the
assurance that It would be out of the
Pacific ocean by a fixed time.
He declared, in the course Of the
debate. that President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan were the greatest OBJ
stacles to national defense, and said
IL seemed singular that the movement
for prohibition likewise found its
greatest opposition from this admin
lstration.
IF national prohibition and national
defense are the greatest questions In
America. as | believe them to be-" he
said. then the president Of the Unit
ed States, instead Of being the coun-
try's asset Is the cOuntry's greatest Ii
ability"
Formal denial By Secretary Bryan
that the administrations Philippine
policy had been in any way affected
by negotiations with Japan, or that
the subject had been discussed here
or i'm Toxic was quoted by MIR. Hob
son with the remark that this did not
change his belief. as he would expect
the secretary to deny 1t.
Japan Would Dictate.
Il am further convinced" Mr.. Hob
son continued. that our first inquiry
into the Intentions OF Japan In SELF
ing KiaO chow and the Islands in the
Pacific will not be followed up, at
least by this administration. and that
Japan as price of peace will be given
a free hand in China with the pros
pect OF the complete overthrow OF the
open-door policy. leaving China TO It's
fate to become governed nation,
while the commerce OF America, which
i'm cotton goods alone fell off over
800. 900. 900 in Manchurla after Jap
anese occupation, will be at the mercy
OF a competitor. while the overthrow
OF the balance OF power In the Pa
cific would lead to an inevitable war.
Representative Hobson said he had
felt for some time that the fleet never
would go to the Pacific under the
present administration. He reviewed
the situation In Europe. referring TO
criticism OF Americas conduct by both
sides in the present war and to ''arbl-
trary treatment Of American ships"
and declared that the situation closely
paralleled the conditions which lead
to the breach with France In 1900
and In the war with England I'm 1872.

Disease Cured by Cuticura.

"Our little girl was two months old
when she got rash on her face and
within five days her face and head
were all one sore. We used different
remedies but it got worse instead Of
better and we thought she would turn
blind and that her ears would fall off.
She suffered terribly, and would
scratch until the blood came. This
went on until she was five months old,
then l had her under our family doc
tors care, but she continued to grow
worse. He said it was eczema. When
she was seven months old | started
to use the Cuticura Remedies and in
two months our baby was a different
girl. You could not see sign of a
sore and she was as fair as new
born baby. She has not had sign of
the eczema since. Mrs. H. F. Budke.

The Mares of Mahomet.

In bygone days there was no more
enthusiastic breeder of horses than
the prophet Mahomet. In the course
OF time he became the owner of vast
number of mares, and the point was
how to arrive at a selection of the
very best. At last he hit upon the
following scheme:
For three days and nights the
mares were kept without water, then
they were loosed, and as might have
been expected, tore madly off to
their usual watering place. Just as
they were on the very brink of the
water the trumpeter blew the war sig
nal or assembly. Maddened with the
thirst, the mares forgot their training,
all save five, who, forgetting their own
urgent need. galloped at once to seek
their masters.
These five mares were set apart by
Mahomet as representing the pick Of
his stud, and from them, we are told
descended the best and noblest breed
