A Union Miners Story.
James T.. Morris, OF Johnston City,
ILL.,. a young miner in the attacking
forces told the correspondent that the
attack had been spontaneous, and that
when the men went to the mine they
did rot really stop to think OF the
bloodshcd that might follow.
He was wounded early in the fight.
II was on my way to Herrin.' he
said when I met gang Of fellows.
They said they were on their way 10
run out those 'Scabs' at the strip mine.
I joined them and others kept joining
us until there must have been 5000.
Most OF those were armed. and those
that were not soon got their guns.
When we got 10 the mine, we spread ont
around 1t. We had no real leaders.
every one was working for himself. IL
was Just one hig mob out to get tie
men who werc running that mine.
81 am not sure who fired the frst
shot. but after il was fired there WIS
real war The fire kept up for hours
7 guess. and several OF our men were
hit. Late in the evening I was shot In
the arm. The wound was not serious
and 7 walked back to where group OF
our men were standing and they sent me
here in a car.

most Of the killing Was done after the
mine surrendered. Tn sure some OF
those scabs really were innocent mcn.
It's just tho old story Of mob getting
started. -.

miss LULU BETT"
is GOOD MOVIE BET

Proving as relishable on the screen
as it was on the stage, Miss Lulu
Bett." William de Miles newest Par
amount production, scored decided
hit at the Coliseum Theater last
night. The play by IONA Gale, dra-
matized from her own novel, was
awarded the Pulitzer prize for being
the best American play of the season
of 1920-21.
The story deals with American life
and people in a small town. Lois
Wilson, the heroine of What Every
Woman Knows" midsummer Mad
ness" and other de Mile produc-
tons, was excellent in her portrayal
of the spinster heroine. Milton Stills
plays the leading mans role and the
other characters are ably interpreted
by Theodore Roberts, Helen Fergu-
son, Mabel Van Buren,, Clarence Bur
ton and other capable players.
Miss Lulu Bett. will be seen for
the last time tonight.

"A POOR RELATION"
LAST TIME AT PALACE

"A Poor Relation" the GOldwyn
picture starring Will Rogers, which
was presented at the Palace Theater
last night and on again tonight, is
the photoplay version of the famous
stage play Of the same name by Ed
ward E. Kiddcr. For the past 81
years, "A Poor Relation has been
successfully played by every char
acter actor of note and in nearly
every stock company The role of
Noah Vale, the philosopher-inventor,
is ideally suited to the rich. dry hui
NOR Of Will Rogers. Star and story
seem to have been made for one an
other. The picture retains the humor
and the heart interest that made the
appeal of the stage play Irresistible
and universal.
In support of VIII Rogers, the
Goldwyn company has gathered an
admirable cast, including Sylvia Brea-
mer, Molly Malone, Wallace MacDon-
aid, Sydney Ainsworth, and the two
remarkable child actors, Robert De
Vilbiss and Jeanette Trcbaol.
