Washington, August Sss( Capital
News Service ,-Develophfents in
the coal and railroad strike and the
problems arising from them have &C.
cupied so much attention in Wash
ington that the Herrin murders
have apparently been pushed to one
side. 1t us the belief Of men prom
inent in the government, however
that the question there raised is too
vital to be long forgotten and that
either Illinois or the United States
government must take. some dras-
tic action before the American people
will allow the matter to rest.
It is pointed out that the condem-
nation, horror, and Indignation
aroused by the wholesale killing of
Is, the wounding of 54 and the dis.
appearance of IL workers on June
20 is not confined to any one sec
ton of the country. The press of
the United States is practically a
unit in its anathmas upon the heads
of those responsible, in disgust with
LHc 4llulIlS u CHe COIIlei jury anu
in its demand that justice be done.
A significant fact, it is noted, is the
absence Of much of any comment
from labor papers.
That the cause Of organized labor
has dealt a powerful blow is con-
coded on all sides; that the United
States Government must act if the
State of Illinois will not, is de-
mand which comes from leading
journals in many states. If newspa-
pers represent public opinion, then
neither the murderers nor the at
tempts to minimize the affair have
any sympathy from the great bulk
of Americans. Editorials from lead
ing papers in practically every state
and many Provinces in Canada, voice
so vehement settlement for punish
ment for the guilty, that as one
Senator put it, "The Federal Govern

ROBERT MILLER IS SHOT
l.. MMYSTERIOUS MANNER

+ Robert Miller son of Mr. and Mrs.
~. G. Miller. 518 Mississippi avenue
has fair chance for recovery from
the effects of a bullet wound in
flicted about o'clock Friday after
noon while he and a boy friend, Yves
ley Nelson, son of Mr., and Mrs. c.
w. Nelson were riding in an auto
mobile on the jefferson highway.
Mystery surrounds the shooting, it
being either accidental or intention
ally self-inflicted. x...:.
AS near as can be ascertained
he and Wesley Nelson had been
swimming at Diamond Point and
feeling the effects of the hot after
noon went to the Miller home to get
the Miller car for an auto ride to
cool off. Both young men are en-
ployed at night Work at the North
ern Bread Co. Wesley drove the car
and Miller rode in the back seat,
it is said and when they were about
a mile west Of Bemidji, Wesley heard
a muffled shot and on looking
around saw for the first time the re-
volver which Miller then had in his
hands. Miller is said to have exclaim-
ooh, it went off. Take me to the
doctors as quick as you can" The
Nelson boy then drove as fast as
he: could for Benaidji and took Mil
Ter to the offices Of Drs. Gilmore
e. Mccain. -,
No reason seems to be available
for causing Miller to shoot himself
and so far efforts to ascertain the
cause of the shooting have been in
vain. The bullet entered his chest
about an inch to the right Of the
breast bone and came out through
his back making a clean wound. Un-
less complications of some sort set
in Mr.. Miller is said to have fair
chance for recovery. Further details
regarding the shooting are expected
to develop later. t...
