''Herrin Massacre"

by Federal Agents
nv ASsocIated Pressl

Marion, ILL.,, August 28.-More
than two months after 26 non-union
workers of the Lester strip pit, which
had been deserted by union bitumi
nous coal diggers, were killed, what
has come to be known as the "Herrin
massacre" today was the subject of
official inquisition.
The 26 lost their lives in separate
attacks June p and %, the greater
number the second day, when they
were herded from the pit and, ac
cording to eye witnesses. brutaIlv
shot, beaten and cut to death.
That the investigation beginning
today would be fair and far-reaching
was indicated by the announcement
of Edward J. Brundage, Illinois at
torney general, that neither miner
nor coal operator had been put on
the especially called grand jury.
Among witnesses summoned are
Sheriff ThaXton, his deputies. and
Coroner William McCown. Colonel

mine war at the request of Governor
Len Small, arrived here last night
ready to testify before the grand

STATE ENGINEER
APPROVES PLANS
OF CO N NJ TTEE
Gave Valuable and Infor-
native Advice to To-
days Meeting

Meeting this morning with the
general good roads committee, COM
posed of delegates from the Rotary,
Kiwanis, Motor club and Chamber of
Commerce, Chief Engineer William
| F. Cooke, of the state road depart
ment, explained that the plans tenta-
lively adopted by the committee
seemed to be the best that could be
considered with a view of serving the
respective sections of the county, and
with the funds that could be made
available.
! Engineer Cooke faced an earnest
committee with representatives from
the sections involved in the bond is
sue to be offered to the voters, and
questions put to him by the assem-
blage satisfied Mr.. Cooke. He said
that the committee had gone into an
exhaustive examination of road build
ing, and he thought as comprehen-
sively as any committee he had met
with in some time.
According to members of the COM
mittee, Mr.. Cooke advised against
the construction of grouted brick
roads because of the low percentage
of brick that could be Salvaged if the
state road department later saw fit
in conjunction with federal aid, to
take over the Gainesville road and
road No. from Clay county to the
Volusia county line. Mr.. Cooke also
informed the committee that he did
not consider money was wisely spent
in building brick roads on sand foun-
dation, and gave his reason, it is said,
that with the increased travel, and
the certainty that freight transpOrta-
tion in motor trucks is ever on the
increase that a road without perma-
nent foundation will not last.
Mr., Cooke stated his opposition to
a bond issue for any one type of road,
and counselled the committee to make
the petition for the bond issue so
elastic as to permit the construction
of either three or four types of road.
He claimed that in getting bids from
contractors for several types of con-
struction, it was often foun dthat a
community profited by the construc-
tion of roads to which they might not
be inclined as general proposition.
1t seems assured, according to men,
bers of the committee, that where
road to be constructed is a part of
through highway, such as will be the
case of road No. and the Gainesville
road, that consideration will be given
to either concrete, sheet asphalt, Stag
penetration or possibly brick.
Chief Engineer Cooke left the city
at noon en- route to Titusville. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Cooke and
their two children.
