ing to discontinue the operation of the strip mine, and the union of ficials were willing that the work men employed therein should be per mitted to depart in safety. At a par ley the following morning during an attack, it was agreed by spokes- man for the attacking party that safe conduct would be accorded the men if they laid down their arms and would march out with hands up. This was done, and, from behind an earth embankment came great from the surrounding hills until the forty-seven men surrendering were surrounded by many hundreds of men, mostly armed.
 The captive men were marched down the road toward Herrin, in double file After they had marched about one mile, Superintendent Mo Dowell, being crippled and unable to keep up with the procession was taken aside by members of the mob and shot to death. The remainder of the captives were marched on the public road and were stopped about three miles from Herrin. Here change in leadership took place, and the man who had guaranteed the safety of the men who had sur rendered was deposed and another leader installed.
 The new commander ordered the captive men to march into the woods. Here the new leader direct ed that only those in the crowd who had guns should follow and those who were unarmed should remain behind The surrendered men were then marched some 200 yards to the vicinity of barbed wire fence where they were told they would be given chance to run for their lives under fire. The firing began imme- diately and 13 of the AT non-union men were killed and most of the others severely wounded. The mob pursued those who had escaped and two were hung to trees, six were tied together with a rope about their necks and marched through the streets of Herrin to an adjacent cem- etery where they were shot by the mob and the throats of three were cut. One of the six survived.
 "The atrocities and cruelties of the murderers are beyond the power of words to describe" says the report. "A mob is always cowardly, but the savagery of this mob in it's relent- less brutality is almost unbelievable. The indignities heaped upon the dead did not end until their bodies were inferred in unknown graves"
 This report has been bitterly de- nounced by the miners, who have charged that it was prepared in ad- vance by the Attorney General of the State, who has been assailed for making speeches to the Grand Jury through the public press"

OUTING PLANNED TO MT. M'KINLEY
 BY NEWSPAPER

For the past forty years the Brooklyn Eagle, one of the most en- terprising and substantial of Ameri- ca's newspapers, has planned and conducted excursions all over the United States as we'll as to many foreign countries, the last one ter minating only a few weeks ago after visiting Patagonia and other South American provinces. In copy of the terdays mail the following mention is made of a proposal trip to Alaska by Eagle excursionists the coming summer:
 Stephen T. Mather, director of the National Park Service, has suggested to the Brooklyn Eagle the possibility of organizing party to participate in the dedication of Mount Mckinley National Park in Alaska in the early summer of 1923. This mountain, which is the highest in North America is in the center of one of the loveliest scenic regions in Alaska. Congress has set aside a considerable area for national park purposes which Presi- dent Harding expected to dedicate last summer. He was, however, unable to make the trip and the park IS still awaiting formal dedication.
 "Until a few months ago 1t was Inn possible to reach the Mckinley Park area except by an arduous overland tourney. The completion of the United States Government railroad from Seward on the Gulf of Alaska to Fairbanks, located in the heart of Alaska near the Yukon River makes this entire region accessible to com fortab1e tourist travel.
 Representatives of the Canadian Government, which is operating the Canadian National Railways, have recently expressed to The Eagle their interest in having an Eagle Tour visit the little known districts in Western Canada traversed by this railroad ana the Canadian National Park, lying to the east of Prince Rupert.
 "A number of veteran Eagle tour ists were very much delighted when they heard of the possibility of tour to Alaska. There are excellent steamship lines running from Seattle and Vancouver to Alaska, and the combination of a special train trip across the continent over two differ- ent routes with circle rail and Yukon river steamship trip in Alaska has interesting possibilities. The Eagle will not, however, undertake the trip unless it receives assurances that it can be made in complete com fort and within a reasonable time period. If the trip proves feaslDle the party, which would have to be limited, would leave about the third week ir June and return about the end of July"
