STRIKE OUTBREAK
CAUSES REGRET
OFFICIAL EXPRESSION FROM
WHITE HOUSE ADMINISTRA-
TION WILL CONTINUE TO
BRING COAL STRIKE TO A
CLOSE

Washington, June a. Along
with official expressions of regret
for the mine strike outbeak in 1lli-
nois, it was made known today that
the administration still was press
ing efforts to bring about a settle
ment of the bituminous coal strike
through a conference between the
two parties and has some hope OF
success. There were White House
intimations that publicity for the
details of the attempt might not be
helpful and that details conse-
quently would be withheld.
President Harding was said to
deplore the Herrin events and to
realize in them evidence of the bit
ter hostility arising out of the
strike while Secretary Davis who
was twice in conference with the
president during the day issued a
statement declaring that those re-
sponsible for the outrages in the
Illinois mining town should be
punished to the fullest extent of
the law.
The president is awaiting anoth-
er official report on the events in
the Herrin field which he Is said to
expect shortly. Labor department
agents have been in constant touch
with strike developments since
April l when the miners walked out
in all union fields.
Herrin, ILL.,, June 24.-Scores of
men employed at Williamson coun-
ty coal mines to guard and keep
the mines in shape during the
strike quit work tonight under
threats from certain union miners,
but shortly after midnight they re-
turned to work when Hugh Willis
mine union district board member
personally promised them protec-
ton and placed union miners to
guard them from any fresh out
breaks. Absence of those caretak-
ers on the job through agreement
Of operators and miner officials
would have meant ruin for millions
of dollars worth of mines through
flooding.
