t? 14- i i) WLTJlflBTX a LEADER GRILLS NEW YOHK, Jan. HO. John II. LitWHon of Denver, president of dis triet lfi of the United Mino Workers of America, announced thut lie ap peared before tho industrial relations commission nt his own rcn,uot. "Your body enu well afford to let (lie testimony of John D. Hockofeller, Jr., bring your investigation to nn end," Mr. LnwHon told the commis sion. "Out of bis month enme n rcn fion for every discontent tlint ngitntcs the laboring class in the United Ktntes today, nnd if remedies nrc provided for tho injustices that he disclosed, n long step will bo taken hwny from indnstrinl disturbances. Inherited Wealth "For moro thnn (en years he has been n director of tho Colorado Fuel & Iron company, vested with what is virtually the power of life nnd death over 12,000 men nnd their families. This power, let it be pointed out, came to him by no healthful process of struggle nnd achievement but entire y through tho fnct thai he was the son of his father. His huge control of men and money was, in effect, a girt that marked tho attainment of maturity. "In those first days when he might have- been expected to possess n cer tain enthusiasm in his vast respon sibilities Colorado was shaken by the coal strike, of 1003-04. It is a mat ter of undisputed record thnt n mer cenary tnilitin, paid openly by the mine operators, crushed the strike by tho bold violntiou of every constitu tional right thnt tho citizen was thought to possess. Hull Ten Itegimo "Men were herded in bull pens like cattle; homes were shattered, the writ of habeas corpus suspended; hundreds wcro loaded on cars and dumped into tho desert without food or water; others wore driven over the snow of tho mountain ranges; n gov ernor elected by 15,000 majority was unseated, n man novcr voted for on that office was made governor and when there enmo a thing called peace tho blacklist gave 0000 miners the choice between starvation or exile. "Tho Colorado Fuel & Iron com pany organized nnd led that attack on tho liberties of the freemen and yet you heard from Mr. Rockefeller's own lips that ho never inquird into tho causes of the strike, tho conduct of his executives or tho fate of those who lost. Little interest did ho tako in tho affair, so faint was the impres sion rondo upon him, that ho could not even answer your questions as to your last facts. Imported Workers "To tnko the place of the banished workers," Mr. Lawson continued, "thousands wcro imported and tho extent of tho company's dragnet for now material may bo judged from the fact thnt over thirty languages and dialects have been bjMikcn in tho mines since 1004. ."Ten years passed and in 1013 Colorado is once more Mushed to the verge of bankruptcy by nnother strike. Many stnkc-brenkers of 1003 mice, followed tho example of those whoso places they had taken, choos ing hunger nnd cold in tents on the mountain sido and plains in prefer ence to a continuation of unbearable conditions in the mines." WHITE SLAVERY CONSTANTINOPLE. Jan. 30. Through tho co-operation ot Henry Morgcnthau, tho American ambassa dor, Dedri IJey, tho chlof of police, has begun a vigorous attack on white slavery In Constantinople- and Its suburbs, Ono hundred and thirty persons Intorcbted In tho traffic have been arrested and tho chief head quarters or Illicit trado has been raided and closed. Tho whlto slayo traffic has hitherto flourished In tho Turkish capital through tho Inability of the consuls and the local authorities to co-operate la checking It. MINE WORKERS ROCKEFELLER TURKEY ATM REQUESTS QUIET ( PARIS, Jan. 30. A Geneva dis patch to the ournler Agency stales that Baron Burlan, the Austrian for eign .minister, has sent a telegraphic note to Bucharest requesting the Rumanians to refrain from fomenting agitation among tho Rumanian pnpu- jHtk of Transylvania. FRENCH CAPTURED BY 1H2ULIN, Jan. 30. by wireless. German troops enptured 745 French soldiers nnd 13 machine guns In tho, western pnrt of tho Argonno yester day, according to an official nn-. nouncement made by tho Gorman war office todoy. A German attack delivered yester day resulted in a considerable ad vance. Twclvo officers and 733 soldiers were taken prisoners. Wo captured also 12 machlno guns and ten smaller guns. Tho losses of tho enomy wore heavy, from 400 to GOO lialnp been left on tho field ot bat tle. Tho French Infantry reglmont No. 1CS seems to havo been anni hilated. Tho German losses wero comparatively small. "French night attacks to the southeast ot Verdun wero repulsed with heavy losses to tho enemy. To tho northeast of Dndonvlllor the French forces wero driven from the vltlago of Angomont as far back as tho village of Dromenll and Ango mont was occupied by our troops. "In east Prussia a Russian attack against tho German force protecting a bridgo head to the cast of Darken men was withoutrcsutt. Some ot our fortifications to the o.nt of the Inko district were shelled by the enemy. A Russian attack to tho southeast ot Lake Loowenstcln broke down under tho German tire nnd a Russian night attack near Dorjlmow, east of Lowlcx. was repulsed with very heavy bosses to tho enemy." E MILL ROAD LEVY SALEM, Or., Jan. 30. I'rotent against tho projwsed 1-mill general tax levy for road construction was voiced before the houc committee on roads and highways bv C. K. Spcnce, master of tho state grange, who de clared the experience of tho Inst year with tho stato highway commission had demonstrated that each county should bo allowed to develop i's own thoroughfares without regard to the main arteries of travel. E. E. Coovcrt of Portland, repre senting S. Henson nnd John H. Yeon, who arc behind the new bill introduc ed Wednesday by Snm Ilrown of Marion county for n general now scheme of road development, explain ed that the l-millfevy would prove no heavy burden when distributed over the state nt large, rather than upon the individual counties. Mr. Spenco cited tho rond scnndul of Columbia county to show the in efficiency of the hiuhwny commis sion, which dcvclocd n vigorous de fense by Highway Engineer IJowlby nnd Ij. Oriswold, nssistnnt engineer. Mr. Griswold proposed to take Mr. Spcnce over tho Columbia highway and show him just how the state money nnd the county's bond money had been expended under the commis sion's jurisdiction. He declared this highway was built for ." cents n ynrd less than the road in Multnomah county. A question of veracity arose when Mr. Spcnce dcclnrcd tho state hnd not carried out its promixc to put thq road in tho best condition. Mr. Oris wold retorted that it was not tho fault of the commission if tho money raised by tho county had not all been ac counted for, and Mr. Spcnce admitted that many people of the county wero wondering whnt had become of it. WAR'S SLAUGHTER BORDEAUX, via Paris, Jan. 30, In reply to a letter from Cardinal Paul Plorro Andrlen, archbUhop of Bordeaux, Popo Benedict has written tho follewing: "When we seo each day the moH flourishing provinces covered with blood and bereavement, we can not help being tilled with anguish and looking forward to the futuro wl(h the deepest anxiety. "Consequently nothing seems to us more desirable than the cessation of tho long, cruel war. To the rapid attainment of that end wo have di rected, as you know all our plans and efforts. "May God turn towards thoughts ot peace to the hearts of those who hold In their hands the destinies of tho peoples." Smoke IIome-Made Cigar. Governor Johnson, Mt. Pitt and La GERMANS AR IE AHAK RANG OPPOSES POPE GRIEVES OVER MEDFORD MATE TRIBUNE, BATTLES RAGING AT BOTH ENDS OF EAS LONDON, Jan. 30. Two condi tions call particularly for comment today by Hrltlsh observers ot tho waV: Tho Austro-Gormnn concentration In tho Carpathians, which Is regarded np a menace to tho Russian armies In Bukowlun, nnd tho Russian activities In East Prussia, which havoheen boon charactertcd as n threat to tho Ger man forces In this territory. Thus at the oxtremo end of tho Immense eastern front mllltnry operations ot tho greatest Importance are develop ing. As fqr tho western battle front, another big battlo In tho vicinity of Salssons Is confidently expected ns Is a bitter conflict near La Hnsseo where for some tlmo the Germans have been piling up reinforcements. Invading East lVnssU Russia's now Invasion of East Prus sia Is becoming woll defined In Brit ish eyes as nn outflanking movement. For sonic .time this district has been tn'RussIan hands without attracting much attention, but now the Invaders havo begun n sorles of slight western advances along tho 50 mllo front from Tilsit southward almost as far as Angorbtirg. This front Is only nbout CO miles to the cast of the Prussian fortress of Koenlgsberg. Fighting in the Snow Many miles to tho south, the com bined Austro-Gcrman armies and the forces ot Russia are battling In tho snow In tho Carpathian mountain passes, but as Is usual with moun tain fighting the situation Is con fused, each side maintaining that tho lido of battlo is running in Its favor. It will bo hard to form a clear ptcturo of the situation until cither the Rus sians cmcrgo In force on tho Hun garian plains or tho Austro-Germans hammer them back to the mountain passes, perhaps causing nt tho samo tlmo a Russian retreat In Bukowlna. Ono effect of this strugglo has been to bring tho Austro-Gcrman troops so near tho Rumanian front ier bo as to fan tho war flume in that country, n fact which may havo an Important bearing on deciding when Rumania will enter tho con flict. ATTACK DUNKIRK DUNKIRK. France, Jan. 30. Tho bombardment from tho air carried out by tho Germans last night camo from six aoroplancs. It was clear moonlight but the machines could not bo seen except when lit up now and then by tho whirling beam ot a searchlight by which tho thrco Inch antl-alr craft guns directed their fire. Tho droning of their propellors, however, was heard some tlmo boforo tho aeroplanes' arrived. This was sufficient notice and the tocsin was. rung for tho inhabitants to seek shelter, according to a plan arranged by tho authorities. In all GO bombs wero thrown, ten of which wero Incendiary ones, a numbor of nrlvato houses were dam- agod "but tho raid from a military point of vlow was a failure.
