county grand jury spent the final day of
it's session investigating the fatal wreck
on the Eufaula and Ozark division of the
Central of Georgia railroad on November
13. in which nine were killed and over
200 injured. Its report filed with the
court late this evening, contained no ref
erence to it's findings of the wreck.
The grand jury examined witnesses
from all parts of the county in an ef-
fort to learn if there was any criminal
negligence to blame for the wreck Pas
sengers,. local railroad officials and those
who took part in the investigation of
the wreck We're summoned, as We're B. C.
Cox, engineer on the ill fated train.
and Capt. j. II. ,Goodroe, the conductor.
This was another of a series of investi-
cations of the wreck as similar probes
We're made by the officials of the Central
of Georgia, inspectors of the Interstate
commerce commission, the Alabama rail-
road commission and a citizens commit
tee at Clayton.
The officials of the railroad held a
broken rail to have been the cause OF
the wreck. The citizens committee
claimed that reckless driving on a poor
roadway was to blame, while the reports
of the interstate commerce commission
and the Alabama commission are still to
be issued to the public.

PSYCHOLOGY NOT
A DEAD SUBJECT
BY CARL II. MILAN.
'irector of Birmin CHAM Public Libraries

Those who hear Miss Elizabeth Toyne
tonight will learn, if they do not know
it already, that psychology is not a dead
subject. Perhaps they will be told also
that books on psychology are not dead
wood on the shelves of private and pub
lie libraries.
All over the country people are becom-
ing interested in psychology and related
subjects. The book stores are well stocked
with books on these topics and the book
buyers are showing by their purchases
that the demand for them is real.
At the Birmingham. Public library in
the city hall interested readers will find
dozens of volumes classed in psychology
and philosophy. Some of these are old
and a little "heavy" like Spencer's First
Principles Some are quite new and
popular like Arnold Benefits Mental
Efficiency and How To Live on Twen-
ty-four Hours Day."
Also, there are of course, the very
useful and popular books on adolescence
and child study. In fact, there is good
deal on the shelves of the public library
that ought to interest every person who
attends Miss Towne's lecture. And If
you don't find what you want, perhaps
the library can order it for you.

OFFICERS OF UNITED

INDICTED BY Jury
Charged With Attempting

Are Returned

Pueblo, Col, December Am at
tempt to secure monopoly of labor is
charged in indictments returned by the
federal grand jury here today against
national officers of the United Mine
Workers of American. The men named
are:
J. P. White, president Frank j.
Hayes, vice president, and William
Green, secretary treasurer. and Ed
ward Wallace. editor of labor paper
at Trinidad.
Conspiracy in restraint of Interstate
commerce in violation of the federal
antitrust laws is charged in indict-
ments against officials of the United
Mine Workers of America as follows:
Frank J. Hayes, John r. Lawson,
Adolph Germer, Robert Ulrich, A. b.
McGary, James Morgan, Charles Batey
and Edgar Wallace.
Several other indictments were re-
turned against miners for alleged depre-
dations against property. 49,
The indictments resulted from devel-
opments in the Colorado coal miners
strike
Recommends Law Enforcement
The jury recommended that the min
ing laws be more diligently enforced,
that the governor be empowered to
regulate or suspend the sale of am
munition and explosives during strike
troubles, that in cases of dispute both
parties should be required by law
to operate the mines pending settle-
ment. Financial interest of coal com
panies in saloons was denounced.
Methods of the United Mine Workers
were severely condemned as IAN insult
to conservative and law abiding labor"
They have brought here" says the
Jury's report, experienced strike agi-
tators and have armed hundreds os
irresponsible aliens, who have become
a menace to the peace and prosperity
and even the lives of citizens. They
created open insurrection in southern
California and have resorted to meas
ures which all fair minded labor organ
izattonS repudiate. The officers in
charge of many of the tent colonies
confess their inability to control the
men whom they have armed and
aroused.
No Qualification Necessary
Evidently no qualification is neces.
sary for membership in the United Mine
Workers of America other than
promise to pay dues, which are appar-
entity used to support insurrection and
law1essness, when necessary to force
their demands by intimidation and
fear whenever strikes are called, with
the result of injuring other trades and
the entailment of hard ships and priva-
tions on the people of the entire COM
monwealth.
The lawlessness of many of the
striking miners is caused by radical
agitators imported from other states
who iniame them with incendiary
speeches and eXhortations to violence"
