WAS JUSTIFIED
Says Rev. Gaddis, Who Was Connect
ed With the Fuel Companies
Sociological Department.
WASHINGTON, May 20—The Rev
erend Gaddis, formerly in charge of
the Sociological department of the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company, in
testifying before the Industrial Re
lations commission today insisted that
the miners employed by the com
pany were ustified in striking be
cause of the brutality and corruption
of the mine officials of the company,
who by petty graft and brutality kept
the workingmen down, preventing
them from making a decent living,
forcing the children to work at an
early age in order that the homes
might be kept together.
The preacher claimed that he had
made many reports to the officials of
the company urging them to adopt
a different attitude towards the men
and not to consider the workers as
cattle to be driven to the last ditch
in an effort to secure greater divi
dends.
J. D. Rockefeller, Jr., will testify
this afternoon. (

world.
