Executive Member of Mint
Workers’ Union Appears
as Witness in Industrial
Probe in New York
New York, January 29.—John R. Law
son, executive member for Colorado of tin
United Mine Workers of America, testi
lying today before the industrial rela
tions commission, attacked the testimony
of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., ami the meth
ods and purposes of the Rockefeller foun
dation.
Mr. Lawson told of the shooting o:
striking miners in Colorado and the shat
lering of miners’ homes, and of how hun
dred* were turned out into the desert ir
1903 without food or water, while othert
were driven over the snow-covered moun
tains. He vigorously arraigned Mr. Rock
efeller for his confessed lack of knowledge
of conditions among the workers of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company.
The pliilanthrophy of the Rockefellers
Mr. Lawson referred to as follows:
"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 a dollai
for thousands of men. women and children
who starved in Colorado, for the widows
fobbed of husbands, children of theii
fathers. There are thousands of Mr. Rock
efeller's employes in Colorado who wish tc
: God they were in Belgium to be fed, oi
a bird to be tenderly cared for."
Reviewing that part of Mr. Rockefeller’s
testimony in which he said he had re
ceived only $371,000 in dividends in all or
his stock in the Colorado company, h<
said:
Had Received Bonds
“It was only under questioning that he
confessed that his father had received
JS.jjS9.000 from his bonds, and that the as
sets of the company were J23.000.000 in ex
cess of liabilities, and that this item did
not take In property values of some J19,
000.000. Nor did he mention the vast hold
ings that the company refuses to de
velop.
“Whatever appearance of poverty clings
to the company Is not due tp anything but
Its own stupid and corrupt policy. Had it
taken the money it has spent in con
trolling officials and the electorate, pur
chasing machine guns, employing gunmen
and crushing the aspirations of human be
ings, and spent It 111 wages and the Im
provement of working conditions, it would
have had rich returns.
“These are vital causes of industrial dis
content: an employer who never is seen
and whoso power is handed down from
man to man until there is a chain that
no individual can climb: our lives and
our liberties passed over as a birthday
gift or by will; our energies and futures
capitalised by financiers in distant cities;
oils masters, too often men who never
have seen us, who cute nothing for us and
who will not or cannot hear tile cry of
our despair.
'There Is not one of these foundations,
now spreading their millions over the
world In showy generosity, that does not
draw those million* from some form of
Industrial Injustice It Is not their money
that these lords of commercial virtue are
spending, but the withheld wages of the
American working class.''
Mr. I.aw son referred to the Rockefeller
foundation's appropriation of J1,000,000 for
Investigation into the causes of Industrial
unrest, as “what this commission was ap
pointed to do.”
"Who ure the directors of this founda
tion out of which comes this Investiga
tlon?" Mr. latwson asked.
“The two Rockefellers, their professional
advisers, Murphy, Gates, Green & Heydt;
their secretaries, Flexner and Rose, on the
Rockefeller pay roll, and three others,
Eliot, Hepburn and Judson, who,furnished
an outward appearance of lndependence
the same control that has directed affaire
of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company;
the same voice that declared through
young Rockefeller that the defeat of the
union in Colorado was a great American
principle for which he was willing to sac
rifice his money and the lives of his work
ers. And they ask the laboring class tc
believe that what they will feel as coal
company directors they will not feel as di
rectors of the foundation.
"Who Is the man chosen to conduct
this million dollar investigation Into
Industrial unrest? One MacKenzIe King,
an alien, whose contribution to th>'
Industrial problem Is a law that pre
scribes a jail sentence for the workei
who dares to lay down his tools. f(
labor had any doubt as to his real
intent, that doubt was removed by the
letter read at this hearing."
Quotes From Letter
Here Mr. Lawson quoted what pur
ported to be a copy of a letter writ
ten by Mr. King, August 16, 1914, to
John D. Rockefeller, Jr„ In which Mr
King said:
“It will not be long before the In
evitable effects of the European wai
are certain to make themselves felt,
and once this becomes apparent the
unions will have to revise consider
ably some of their present policies
Looking at the ultimate, rather -hat
the immediate, effect there is, gener
ally speaking, going to be a large
amount of unemployment as a conse
quence of the war—In certain Indus
tries It Is going to be easy for em
ployers to find all the labor they de
sire, and unions will be confronted
with a new problem. Here, It scerai
to me, lies a possible revenue of ap
proach toward restoring normal con
ditions In Colorado."
Mr. Lawson continued:
“Mr. Rockefeller, Sr„ Is quoted ai
saying that God must be brought tc
New York. In Colorado there is a
suffering multitude that asks only foi
i
•■••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••a
a little of the spirit of the Christ whc
died for human brotherhood.
“Nor will Mr. Rockefeller’s proposa
for election of men in coal camps meei
the needs of collective bargaining. Mer
so elected, unless backed by ;m or
ganization wider even than state lines
will be utterly helpless in the hands
of those who have sanctioned past
I grievances.
| . “Nothing has been more Clearl.\
shown by your investigation than tha:
[ workers are unable to protect them
selves as individuals, but can only gair
protection through organization.
"In theory, at least. Mr. Rockcfellei
I agrees to the principle of unionism
All that remains is to give this theor\
purpose and effect. The United Mine
Workers is the one organization thai
represent labor in this great industry
l insist that Mr. Rockefeller canno*
give effect to this new point of view
except with the co-operation of the
United Mine Workers. Our one great
desire is for lasting industrial peace
We rejoice that after all these years
Mr. Rockefeller is at last disposed tc
: consider and confer with the workers
his company officials have despised ig
nored and endeavored to crush.’’
