GOVT. AGENTS NOW
 ENTER MINE FIELD
Conducting Independent InVesi. gation-.Queer Funeral Service

Herrin, June 26. (By Associated q Press) county buried the dead In her latest mine war yester- mine the cause of their death and to- day faced the responsibility of bring ing the guilty to justice.
 With not a single arrest made since the massacre of last Thursday when at least 19 men were killed after strike sympathizers stormed the Les ter mine and with county officials making no visible effort to place the blame the Investigating is being done by state and federal agents.
 Govt. Agents Active.
 Representatives Of the department Of justice, department of labor the states attorney generals office and the adiutant general arc quietly delv- ing into the cloak of secrecy which so far has surrounded the identity of the 4,00o men who marched from Herrin in broad daylight, took more than so unarmed men prisoner, marched them back down the road into a wood, and there killed 19 and wounded nearly as many more.
 Yesterday six men of Williamson county-three miners merchant, an electrician and the superintendent Of the Herrin water works-were sol emnly impaneled, listened to the evid- ence of witnesses called by Coroner William McCowen and returned their verdict.
 They found and so recorded, that c. K. Mcdowell. murdered superin- tendent of the Lester mine, killed union miner on Wednesday the day before the massacre. Of the other dead 19 in all including two other strikers. the jury found they came to their deaths by gunshot wounds in hicted by unknown persons.
 18 Victims Buried.
 Yesterday morning sixteen un- known dead. all non-union workers and guards at the Lester mine were buried by the county in potters field. On bleak hillside, beneath a broil ing sun union miners led by State Senator William Sneed dug Is shal- low graves-four rows of four each.
 The bodies of the massacre victims in plain caskets were placed side by side on the parched grass. Four Protestant ministers of Herrin con- 1ucted the brief burial service, while a hundred overall clad miners looked on. On a distant hillside three wom- 7n in starched summer dresses, fur 1ished the only touch of color.
 Queer Funeral Service.
 The ministerial quartet sang Near .r My God To Thee" read a psalm | delivered a prayer and in curiously | form of burial service committed the bodies to the earth ,ut omitted to commit the souls to 1od
 That omission, more than any oth- f development. sums up Williamson verdict on the imported workers from Chicago who attempted 0 mine coal when the union said no oal should be mined.
 No mention of the dead nor the manner of their death was made at he graveside.
 Ministers Hurry Away.
 The brief service over, the minis CTS hurried away to their waiting locks. The overall clad miners shov led the red clay over the rough pine oxes No flowers graced the graves, ut at the head of each the undertak r stuck a little metal sign with a lass covered card. On each card was
 number and the date June 22, 922," for each numbered card the ndertaker preserved a description Of he men buried beneath if relatives hould appear to claim him.
