MARION, Ill, Aug. 29-Witnesses
summoned for today, the second of a
special grand jury investigation of the

the previous day resulting in the death
CT 3 union miners.
According to the instructions given
the jury yesterday the investigation
will assume two distinct phases, the
Staying of the union miners and the
massacre on the employees of the i'll
fated strip mine.
Asked To Be Fair
In charging the jury, the Judge ap-
pealed to the investigators to use fair
ness and justice and to make every ef-
fort to counteract the charges of law
lessness that have been made openly
against Williamson county's citizens
and officials by bringing before the
bar of justice those upon whom rests
the blame for the % fatalities.
Employees of an electrical railway
line running between here and Herrin,
said to have been eye witnesses, are
on the list of those called before the
grand jury as are the survivors of the
battle.

(Rv United Pressl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29-With the
allies apparently deadlocked and Ger
many and other countries of central
Europe as well plunging further into
financial and economic chaos, the
United States may be asked in the
near future to settle the German repa-
rations problem.
Should such a request come from
Europe, it probably would be with a
view of having the United States act
as a sort of arbitrator, according to a
belief here 1t is not expected thar
an appeal from Europe would be for
this country to participate directly in
negotiations to- settle the central Eu-
ropean problem or to lend any mate
rial government aid in the situation,
for it is thought that the American
government would reject any such
proposal.

HARDING AUTHORIZES
Use OF S60O,OOO ON
MUSCLE SHOALS Dam
fBy Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Funds to-
falling 100000 have been authorized
by President Harding to enable army
engineers to begin construction work
on the Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals,
Ala, on an extensive scale, pending
use of the $7,500,000 appropriated by
congress which becomes available Oct.
1, it was officially announced today.
Brig, General Taylor, assistant chief
of engineers, explained that the $780,
900 was authorized from an old ap-
preparation of which an unexpended
balance of about 100000 remained
subject to presidential disposal.
Secretary Weeks, acting at the sug-
gestion of Major General Beach, chief
of army engineers, recently asked the
president for decision which would
have permitted the 100000 to be used
at Muscle Shoals. ..--..
Other Use For Money.
The remaining 100000, it was ex-
planned, was reserved and probably
would be allowed the agriculture de-
partment for use in making experi-
ments with nitrogen for fertilizer
usages.
Army engineers estimated that they
would be able with the 100000 allot-
ted them to increase operations at
Muscle Shoals on an extensive scale
and continue until the $7,500,000 be-
came available in October. They said
Col. William Rarden, commanding the
Muscle Shoals district probably would
employ additional laborers and put
machinery in use to the maximum ex-
tent possible under the funds now at
his disposal
