sional committee, released a prepared
statement that is probably the Off
eial democratic criticism of the re-
publican administration. Recognizing
Mellon as the real head Of the admin
istration the attack was launched
against him.
Employment Decreasing.
SMr. Melons conclusions that thru
out 1927 employment was steady and
business and industry were stable are
not sustained by the facts" says the
Oldfield statement.
''The STEADY employment to which
Che Secretary refers undoubtedly has
been the case in some lines, but in
many others it has not been. Proof Of
this is in the latest employment fig
ures of the Department of Labor
showing employment lower during
;Agv1raI months of 1927 than in the
last four years, reaching leNel last
November IL per cent below the en-
ployment level of the same relative
period of 1923. Payroll totals were
also reduced in about the same pro-
portion.
Bankruptcies Increased.
"There has just come to my atten-
ton the report of the Department of
Justice on bankruptcies for the last
fiscal year. During the year there
were 48,758 bankruptcies, with liabil-
tiles of $685., 557 ,006, or $60,000,000
more liabilities than during 1926 and
a half billion more than ten years ago
in 1917. Of the nearly $4,000 per-
sons who entered bankruptcy last
year 5000 were farmers, $4,000 were
wage earners, $4,000 were merchants,
1,500 were manufacturers and 1900
professional men.
Points to Call Recession.
'Another evidence that conditions
are not as healthful as Mr. Mellon
would have the country believe is in
the freight car loadings of the rail
roads. / am advised that the car
loading report for 1927, to be issued
in the next day or SO, will show that
more than 100000 fewer carloads
of freight were handled by the rail
roads during 1927 than 1926. This
recession and heavy falling in pas
senger traffic has SHARPLY cut tht
railroad earnings for the year"
After listing other evidences OF
depression the democratic spokesman
became confused in thought and
Welded to the illusion that the situa-
ton is not serious. In the concluding
statement Oldfield said
II recognize the fact that in some
lines business has been and still is
good. But / submit that the so-callec

fifty-seven cents day. The Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company has also Of
fered to raise the wages by 30 cents
q day. The men however are stand
ing solid for the recognition for the
pit committees and other demands.
If any proof were lacking that the
operators who were witnesses in the
investigation being conducted by the
Industrial Commission, had lied about
conditions in the mines, it was fur
nished on Saturday when Merle d..
Vincent, general counsel for the Rocky
Mountain Fuel Company, completed
the break between his company and
other Northern operators by confirm
ing the statements of the strikers
about the inhuman working condi-
lions in the mines, and about the gross
violations of the state laws by the
mining companies.
Disregard Law.
In a statement submitted to the
commission, Vincent declares that it
is common knowledge that the mine
laws regarding safety provisions,
checkweighmen and inspection COM
mittees are not enforced. He also
charges that the necessity for the
present strikes was due to the opera
tors refusal to recognize the human
rights Of the workers. This statement
was in answer to one made by a group
Of Northern operators who claimed
that no strike existed.
In spite of the reign of terror which
continues in the territory controlled

pany's state police the ranks of the

New Terrorism.
The terrorist tactics of the bosses

lief, arrested James Dobreff, chair
man and other members of the relief

Nicaraguans Fought Hard.
Guided by airplanes, the invading
army of marines have been winding
their way over the mountains for
days In order to strike a blow at the
Liberal stronghold in an effort to
break the power which SANDING has
been steadily consolidating thruout
northern Nicaragua in the last three
months.
Fighting with admitted courage and
using their antiquated anti aircraft
guns the Liberals were able to stand
OFF the invaders for two days before
they were compelled to retire to thei,.

aple to carry off their wounded from
the battle.

a massacre of Nicaraguan Liberal

planes, which dropped bombs among
the defenseless Liberals and the in
habitants of the town.
General SANDING, who is former
mine worker, gained the opposition
of the American authorities by re-
fusing TO sign the disarmament agree
ment which Col. Henry L. Stimson
forced upon the majority of the Lib
eral leaders. SANDING took refuge in
the northern districts of Nicaragua
near the Honduran border where he
has been gradually equipping and
training his troops while the growth
OF Liberal influence over all the
northern sections of Nicaragua has
been alarming the Americans and
their reactionary Nicaraguan tools.
The battle of Quilali is believed to
prelude determined effort on the
part of the American State Depart
ment to eliminate the growing power
of the Liberal army.
