FIRED. AT LONG RANGE

According to investigating officers, the attackers took good care to see that they were protected if any of the miners in the train had pistols with them. Deputy Sheriff Fred McDuff stated to Sheriff Hartsfield in telephone message imme- diately following the shooting, that he thought everything was all over, as he didn't believe that the men who did the sh ooting wanted to fight anyway. He stated that they had been fully pro- |tected from any of the miners on the train, that they were at least S0a feet away when they fired the first shots, and that they were evidently a long dis tance away a few minutes later, for when the officers arrived on the scene there were but few men to be found within distance of half mile from where the shooting occurred.
 Sheriff Hartsfield declares it his be- lief that the attacking party was com posed of about forty men, as several witnesses had stated that between fifty and sixty shots had been fired at the train.
 A search of the hillside above the railr oad tracks was made by the offi- cers Dozens of shotgun and pistol shells, thrown down by members of the mob, were picked up by the officers and taken to the sheriff's office.

SUSPICIONS CONFIRMED


 This suggestion was later on com firmed by the insistance of the arninls- tratior that it be given authority to take over the telephone and telegraph lines' When Congress voted a grant or author jtv to take over the telephone and teie- ph lines it was expressly stipulated that no such seizure would be made un- less the e,igences of war urgently re- ouired it. but after the authority was given witrou a new exigency having arisen and without single new conoi- lion of peril, the telephone and tele- graph lines were seized because an au- minstraton was in power Wnicn was disrosed to take advantage of the dnNie- ties of people while involved Tn war eo completely revolvtlonize our governments policy in dealing with these public utili' ties.
 of the experiment with the railroads and the communication lines had been successful it reasonably may be assumeu inc policy would have been made perrna- nent. Such was the undoubted intent Of the present administration
 q must emphasize one or the gross misunderstandings rels ting to the Cum nins-Esch law. It did not provide for a nermanent government guarantee Of dividends on railway capital On the contrary 1t placed limit on the dividends It did provide for main tenance of rates for period or si1 months, which would guarantee suf- ficient railway earning to make pos sible the financing of necessary rail. way improvements under tho controi of their owners. but this guarantee of a 5h per cent earning was limited to the period of\transition of six months duration. and was universally recog- nized as being necessary because of the admitted failure of the govern ment to maintain the railways In . state of preparedness for efficient ser vice.
 .If it had returned the railroads without this temporary guarantee or earnings in all probability tho great American system would have broken down entirely and we should have found ourselves in a state of railway paralysis which the country could not tolerate.

Hy Associated Press

Marion. O., September 1S.--Reaffirm ing his support of the Cummins Esch act restoring the railways to their speech to delegation of railway workers here late today that by as- suming control of the roads the Will son administration had sought, to pro- mote a policy based on permanent op- eration
 Had the experiment. proved a sue cess, the republican nominee declared. the administration would have favorsI retention of the transportation lines and other public utilities under govern ment control The war he said, had offered an opportunity to try out the scheme because it permitted trans portat!on officials to take advantage of the anXieties of the people,.
 The senator also assailed as SO cialistic" and revolutionary the plan supported by some labor leaders to put the railways at the disposal of the rail- way workers The Cummins- Esch bltl he said. was the best mC ssure Congress could work out in the "e allotted and gave to both railway rers and em- pIoyes d just guarantee of rights.
