HEREIN MASSACRE IS
 BLOT ON U. s. NATION
Declares Roosevelt - Pre- diets More Troublesome
 Times Ahead

Atlantic City, July 13-Justice must be done in the cases of those respon- sible for the recent massacre of coal miners at Herrin, Ill.,. regardless of affiliations" if the United States is to continue as nation, Assistant Secre- tary Roosevelt of the Navy depart ment declared today in an address to the Elks' national convention.
 A blot such as that at Herrin, he asserted. ''can be wiped out in only one way-by process of law"
 We are in the midst of trouble some times" Mir. Roosevelt said, and there are more ahead.
 There are doctrines abroad in the land which If not controverted and overcome may lead to the fall of this great country as countries of the past have fallen. But a few short weeks ago, in southern Illinois, an atrocious massacre occurred as Is contained in our annals. There Is no shadow of a conviction of the murderers in sight I know not who was to blame, wheth- CT employer or employed, perhap. both; but, If our country is to stand we must mete out justice in this case regardless of the affiliations. Before the law, the man with a million and the man with dollar stand the same.
 "On the law depends society De- stroy the law and the country reverts to barbarism overnight
 Grave as this tendency toward lawbreaking Is, it Is but one of the dangerous tendencies of the present. There is a doctrine abroad in the land, which is just as destructive This doctrine Is that our function in life is to get by with as little work as possible. Where would we be now if our ancentors had refused to work over and beyond a time sufficient to give them the bare necessities of life? We would be living in huts and novels, and prancing about dressed in animal skins"
 ITO meet this situation we must recognize. in many respects. our the ory of business. We must endeavor to adjust it to the needs of this problem. We must work toward the condition of affairs whereby we may correctly allude to those engaged in industry rather than to employer and employees We must endeavor to create conditions wherein the self evident interest of all is the success of the business in which they are en- gagged"
