DEFYING ROCKEFELLER SENT LAWSON TO PEN
WALSH ASSAILS COLORADO COURTS

WALSH ASSAlLS
The mask of hypocrisy was torn
from the. weakened face of John D.
Rockefeller by Frank P. Walsh, chair
man of the U. S. commission on in
IustTial relations, who spoke at a
mass meeting held yesterday to pro-
test against the conviction of John
R. Lawson, head of the United Mine
Workers. who was sent to a Colorado
prison for life on a charge of murder.
Walsh cited reams of testimony
given before the commission. He
said that the Rockefeller family was
responsible for the oUtrages which
took place in Colorado. And he ex-
posed the flaw in the act which Gre
ated the commission on industrial re-
lations.
''This commission is empowered to
compel witnesses to appear before it,
but was not granted the power to
punish witnesses for contempt when
they refused to answer pertinent
questions" Walsh said. eff the next
congress represents the people, their
first act upon reading the report of
the Commission will be will to cite John
D. Rockefeller and his son and Mac
kenzie King, Canada's labor commits
sioner and ROckefeller's hired tool, tC
appear before the bar of the house of
representatives to answer certain
questions which they refused to an
swer at the public hearings of this
body. Then if they still refuse to
answer they should be tried for crime
against the government and sent to
the penitentiaTy."
Mere handclapping could not show
The appreciation of the crowd, so they
stood up and yelled. It was some min
utes before order could be restored.
