From The Tribine's Wdssirotos Bureau
WASHINGTON. June 24.-Recent
atrocities in the coal mine war in

were denounced in the Senate to-day
BY Senator Myers. Democrat. Of Mon
tana. Senator Myers declared he
doubted whether any OF the atrocities
attributed 20 tho Germans in the re-

"horrifying' than these committed In
southern Illinois.
He expressed amazement that such
things should occur "in free America
and nc predicted that the investigation
which is being conducted into the af-
fair would amount to nothing and
that no punishment would be meted
out TO the perpetrators Of the
massacre.
Referring TO the talk Of Federal in

strike. the Senator said this would be
the worst thing that could happen as
it would result IN a "patched-up
peace" and that il the strike went on
10 its natural conclusion there would
be "a wholesome settlement" blaming
the state and local authorities for not
preserving the peace, he held men who
wanted TO work should be protected

One more name went on the mas
saere death list to-day. This was that
OF Howard Hoffman. one Of the non
union workers, who died in the local
hospital as the result OF wounds in
ficted by the mob OF miners after the
battle in the strip mine. This brings
the death list 20 twenty-five. No addi-
tionsl bodies were found near the scene
OF the killings. though the search for
them continued.
Thousands Of miners focked 10 Her
rim from all parts Of the county this
afternoon for the funeral Of George
Henderson. one Of the two union men
slain. They marched or rode in auto
mobiles behind the hearse 20 a nearby
cemetery IN a cortege nearly :wo miles
long. Hundreds OF the townspeople
with barred heads lined the streets. No
such honors arc planned for the six
teen non-union victims Of the massacre.
whose bodies continue to lie in the
Herrin mOrgue. Latest advices are
that these will be buried in the county
Potter's field or, because OF the feel
ing here, that they may be taken else
where for a similar interment. Al any
rate. the burials will not occur until
Monday or Tuesday. az the county is
required to hold the bodies at least
FIVE days FOR identification. and only a
few Of them have been identified.
The coal company which brought the
victims here, getting most OF them
through the medium OF a detective
agency has evinced no interest in the
matter OF their funerals.
Il is probable that the Identities OF
many of these ragged strangers" will
never be known. Some OF them. il was

AN OBLIGATION.

Many people wonder why labor un-
ionists are so bitter toward persons
that stay on the job when a strike is
called. They do not seem to realize
that a labor organization is made up
of human beings who take an obliga-
ton before God and their fellows to
stand by the principles of the union
and obey the will of the majority. A
man that violates his obligation in a
fraternal organization is considered a
poor type of individual and is ex-
PEELED for the violation. When a man
violates his obligation in labor I'M
ion he commits the same offense; he
violates his own sacred honor accord
ing to his own obligation. A strike
is called by a majority of the votes
cast and each and every man has a
vote; if he believes in constitutional
government he will stand by his OBJ
legation and the rule of the majority.
If every man who belongs to an or
ganization which has an obligation,
will look into this matter, he should
be able to get a unions man view
point relative TO a person who deserts
the union during strike.
