of the industrial league OF Decatur
will take place in the morning. In the

indicated by order for tickets. Good
boxing will be on the preliminaries.
While the Associated band and

STRIKERS FIGHT
TO SAVE REPUBLIC,
CLERGYMAN AYERS

"The fight for living wage, for a
much higher wage than at present OBJ
tains, is a part of the fight TO preserve
the blessings transmitted to US by our
ancestors. 1t is Christian fight. II
is a fight for the home, the basis Of q
Christian civilization. II Is fight for
the child, to save the nations children
from poverty and the temptation pow
erty so often brings"
Thus did the Rev. John b. Barnhill,
a well-known clergyman of Aenia,
Ohio, and editor of Humanity First"
sum up the struggle being made by
striking shopmen and miners in an ad-
dress delivered at City Hall, Elmiray
Ny, before large audience Of
citizens gathered to learn the cause
of the strikes from disinterested
sources.
at may well be-" said Rev. Barn
hill, "that these two strikes mark the
zero hour of our republic and that
now as never before our citizens VIII
have to go over the top, choosing this
day whom they will serve.
"Christianity is challenged by these
strikes as il never was challenged be-
fore. The Golden Rule, If applied in
a thorough manner, is able to solve
all problems.
Employers Threat Recalled.
"When we see b. c. Forbes in his
magazine for March, 1921, say In
effect that Big Business does not want
to see good times till wages are
brought down it is pertinent for q
Christian to ask, Does this attitude
represent the worker who prays
"Give us this day our daily bread,
or the bond speculator who prays
"Give US this day our daily diyi'
dend," or the profteer who prays
"Give us this day our daily melon =

it is a contention of so conservative
an authority of John Graham Brooks
that the unions are the sole protec-
ton of the nation against bloody
revolution. -
"Jay Gould boasted that he coulo
hire one-half the workers to kill the
other half. That would indeed be 9
revolution of the first magnitude, ano
we owe it to the unions that Gouid'i
boast is no longer true"
Wages that are offered workers, de
clared Rev. Barnhill, are less than th'
yearly cigar bill of employers ant
government officials who are in the
conspiracy to lower the standards OF
workers and thus are attacking th'
very foundations of the nation.

MINE OFFICIALS
RESPONSIBLE FOR
RIOT AT HERRIN

While condemning in unmeasured
terms the recent mine atrocities In
Herrin, ILL.,, when % non-union men
were murdered, and promising TO
bring the guilty men to justice "if II
takes me all the rest of my term,'
Attorney General Brundage Is em-
phatic In his assertion that the miners
were not solely to blame.
II cannot see,p he says, "how Ger
tain officials and others connected
with the mine itself can escape In
dictment for murder along with the
others. They carried things there
with a high hand. They sent armed
guards through the streets of Herrin
and over the highways of Williamson
county.
Men with cartridge belts filed with
ammunition, carrying high powered
rifles, rode on trucks through coun-
try in the radius Of which 10000 men
were out of work. Following them
came small automobiles filled to the
running boards with other armed men.
THAT was an open challenge to the
idle, dissatisfied and in many cases
hungry men for a battle. II could
not result differently from what IT
did.
"These men took control Of the
roads, the public highways which be-
long to the people Of the State. They
dug a ditch 15 feet wide across a
public road. These armed guards
held up and searched people riding
over these roads. They allowed no
body to approach the mine.
"They we're constantly creating a
situation such as later developed into
the riot In which more than 20 lives
were lost. They were adding fuel to
fire that had been smoldering for
weeks.
"There Is no surprise, therefore, at
what happened. | am amazed, how
ever, that agents Of the Governor and
others who were on the ground sew
eral days before the riot did not see
that IL could not be prevented II the
conditions were allowed to continue
From the information | gained, the
best people in Marion county fully ex-
pected an outbreak.
"A mine official Is said to have
gone through the streets declaring he
was from West Virginia. we will
show the unions how to act here in
Herrin just as we did in West Vir-
ginia and Kansas he is said to have
