Threaten Lives 7
Wounded Men :
| in Herrin Hospitals \

Herrin, ILL.,. June 27.-(By a. P)-
Twelve wounded men. survivors of the
AZ on-,fnion workers and guards cap
tured at the Lester mine by a mob
last Thursday. are in danger OF their
lives if they leave the Herrin hospi-
tai, according t. reliable reports reach
ing state and federal investigators.
Dead men tell no tales. and some
of those wounded men know too much
for the safety Of members of the mob,
one Herrin business man commented.
Officials of the hospital admitted
that some union men attempted to re-
move one of the wounded guards at
IL o'clock last night under promise of
escorting him over the county line,
but they were denied entrance to the
hospital
The consensus of opinion among the
responsible element seems to be that
the state should send one or two
squads of armed soldiers to Hcrrin
when the wounded arc ready to leave,
to furnish them safe conduct back to
Chicago. The mere appearance of
small body of mon in uniform would
forestall any mob action. Herrin men
say.
That the massacre victims fear Vio-
lcnce if they are forced to leave the
hospital unprotected was confirmed by
four of the men. Their fear also was
held by Howard Hoffman, Huntington.
Ind. one of the mine guards, who died
in the hospital.
Hoffman in an ante-mortcm state
ment warned hospital authorities, 1t is
said, that none of the wounded would
ever reach Will 'amSon county alive.
He was among the SIX tied together
and shot down in cemetery near the
mine.
Hoffman when dying. said he fell
at the first vollcy and feigncd death.
A member of the mob approached and
fired point blank into his back. Then
he rolled Hoffman over, face up and
several men stamped on his chest.
Finally one of the mob drew a knife
and slasmed IIoffman's throat.
Allen 7. F'indlay of Chicago, time
keeper for the mino guards who is in
che hospital with moro than 40 buck
shot wounds in the left side and a
said there were Sc non-unlon workers
and guards in the MN bunk cas-
Wednesday night and that only A
were marched away by the mob.
Whether the missing 10 fed during
the night and escaped through the
encirclins mob, or whether they were
killed i'll the cars and their bodies
burned when the attackers fired the
bunk train, Eindlay did not know.
Angerod because their town has
suffered the atrocities, Hcrrin citizens
say other mining towns should bear
part of the responsibility for having
supplied rioters who joined the mob
which StOrmcd the Lester mine.
Sheriff Melvin ThaXtOn said he had
been unable to get any information
leading TO the identity of any mem
bCr of the mob.

or carelessnesS run into staggering
terms when considered from the
standpoint of the nation, few au-
thentic statistics which have been
made public at various times dur
ing the last few years may be
quoted. In the shipment of eggs
there is waste Of $200,000,000
annually. No more than six out
of ten eggs laid reach the con-
sumer. There is an estimated
waste in mining of more than ST.
100000 daily and s30,000,000
worth of waste paper is burned
instead of being bound up and
sold. Fires of avoidable causes
cost an annual destruction of
$100,000,000. 1t is said that con-
siderably less than one-half of the
trees cut from the forest reaches
the consumer.
The individual should bear in
mind that certain rules of eff
cheney can be laid down by bus!-
ness concerns, but these are to a
great extent made ineffective if
there is no desire to cooperate.
Remember thrift in your daily
life, no matter what may be your
vocation. 1t is a duty you owe
to your employer, to your asso-
ciates, to the nation and to your
self.

Raps Delay of Aid
TO Disabled Veterans

Philadelphia, June 27.-Many dis
ablcd veterans of the world war have
been driven to suicide and thousands
are suffering and in need because
bureaucratic autOCrats in charge or
disabled soldiers activities have not
made good" said John Il. Nolan OF
Boston, national commander of the
National Disabled soldiers League to-
day in addressing the annual conven-
ton of that body.
Commander Nolan criticised other
veterans organizations, composed OF
able bodied mon, who, he alleged have
forced bonus legislation to the fore,
and to the point where the disabled
men are lost in the shuttle"
His organization, he declared, is op-
posed to bonus legislation while many
of tho disabled still are in dire need.

SEAMEN ON SHORE
LEAVE MUST SUBMIT
TO MEDICAL ONCE OVER

Washington, June 27.-Thorough
medical examination of every alien
and every sailor entering the United
States at any port was recommended
by Secretary of Labor Davis in reply
today TO a letter from Surgeon Cen
eral Cumming of the United States
Public Health Service, who recently
called attention to the necessity for
such action.
If there is no provision in the law
for thorough examination of seamen
who seek shore leave, the secretary
said, such provision should be made
/ He asked DR.. Cumming for advice as
to what action the department might
take.
"Protecton of the health of Amer
| lean citizens against disease carried
by incoming aliens" Secretary Davis
said is of the utmost importance and
should be thorough at every port. Re
ports from Potro Rico are simply as
founding and conditions ought to be
| corrected speedily. | note your state
ment that Ellis Island, n. y, and
Angel Island California, are the only
! two immigration stations that have
satisfactory facilities for a thorough
medical examination.
! surely the ports of Seattle and
Boston are important ports where
many aliens enter and should be
medically in the same class with Ellis
| Island and Angel Island. In the final
analysis loathsome contagious dis
eases are as dangerous to American
citizens when coming through a small
port as when coming through large
port. 1t is barely possibly that those
afflicted with disease, knowing that
| examinations at smaller ports arc not
so thorough. seek the smaller ports
; for entrance"
