Mob Members Leave

Mob Members Leave
Herrin, June 26.-"It will blow in
a week." seems to be the pravail-
ing belien in bloody" Williamson
county, regarding Thursdays massa-
ere of strikebreakers, but despite the
akepticism that any will be pun
ished, many miners are leaving the
nearby mining towns and putting
distance between themselves and the
scene of the slaughter. The exodus
began two nights ago, when dozen
men were reported to have pulled out
in flivvers. Saturday night three
automobile loads of miners drove in
to Carbonate, and the occupants
went hence on various trains. The
general impression is that they We're
part of the turbulent element that
took the lead when the march of
miners, its blood lust aroused, be-
came an unreasoning mob.
As to investigation and punish
ment the chances seem diminishing
each day. Court opens in Marion in
July, and Grand Jury is TO be
called if asked for, but the jury
list is picked by the Board of Super
visors, and most of whom are union
members SO the conservative cit
izenry sees little in the Grand Jury
except. perhaps set of resounding
resolutions. Sheriff ThaXton has said
he will ''investigate thoroughly" but
the sheriff is union member and
| is running for election as county
| treasurer. States Attorney Duty, who
seems to be an outstanding, fearless
citizen, declares his readiness to
prosecute, but he has no staff of
investigators to dig up evidence, and
the only way he could get such a
staff would be by action of the
county board, about two-thirds of
whom are union members. Thus SO
far as action can be looked for
from the local authorities stone
wall looms ahead. All this will
probably be laid before Attorney
| General Brundage by his investiga-
! tors, but the attorney general him
self, it is pointed out here, is prac-
tically without funds for any in
quisitOrial service
Two investigators for secretary OF
Labor Davis and Attorney General
Dau@herty have been on the ground
looking into the situation What
they are particularly interested in
however is how the workers feel
toward a conference with the opera
tors apparently with western
pennsylvania and southern Ohio alb
sent.

man fell face-forward, he was turn
ed over by kicks, and someone would
grind his nose and face out of all

the heel OF his boot. After men
were dead their bodies were kicked

his gaping forehead to staunch the

Exult Over Savagery.
/ The Williamson County Miner,
official organ of the miners union,
in its description of the slaughter
lays all the blame upon the murder
ed men, but tells how the miners
invaded the camp and insisted upon
counting the plates and examining
every nook and corner of the place
for hidden machine guns. They also
ordered the searchlights discon-
tinued, but when this order was not
obeyed they cut the wires and
threw the place in darkness, pre-
paratory to the massacre. In it's
concluding paragraph the miners
paper says:
The faces of the 'scabs' present
ed a terrible appearance. Hideous
as the face of crook must be, they
were even worse after justice had
triumphed."
