call for the meeting. Today he de-
scribed those who had gone berry
picking"
The meeting, Willis said. was held
two miles east OF Herrin, in a grave.
As these we're discussing the situa-
tion, a commissGry truck carrying
provisions to the strikebreaking min.
ers passed the grove.
Despite demands of leaders that
the crowd make no demonstration.
the commissary truck was fired on
and the battle which ended "a hours
later was on.
The indifference OF the Herrin peo-
pie to the battle was astounding.
No newspapers carrying accounts
OF the battle are allowed TO be sold
at news stands.
A jury was impanelled by William
McGowan, coroner. After the Jurors
had been sworn in today. one mem
ber said;
well. boys. let's adjourn until
Sunday" And adjourn they did.
The only bitter remarks heard from
strike sytnpathizers today were
against thA dead Mcdowell, first to
fall in the battle.
Mcdowell was the only mine su-
perintendent. union leaders claimed.
In Illinois to violate his contract with
the union and attempt to operate his
mine with strikebreakers.

HERRIN. ILL.,. June 23.-Seventeen

an improvised morgue here were the
only evidence left today of the bitter
mine battle fought on the outskirts
OF this dreamy country village.

women Thcy have held women on

has been carried into our jury

sibIe for jury of men TO find

continued. "the women OF Georgia.

shown tendency to come down.

They have demanded equal rights.

way they have indicated their de-

why then should a woman---soie-
ly on sex grounds--be accorded any
special privilege by iury?"
Col. Howard's views are partly
borne out by an expression from
Il. l.. Bradley. who was foreman OF
the vinson jury.
Il believe" said Bradley. that a
woman should pay the same penalty
for crime as a man. There have
been recently several atrocious muir
ders of husbands by their wives.
