Bodies of Strike-Breakers

Without Word of Sympathy.
(By Associated Press.)

Herrin, ILL.,, June 23-Herrin's un-
honored dead lay pale and stark to-
night in vacant store that had been
pressed into service as q morgue since
yesterdays battle.
Past them filed an unending line of
men and women and barefooted boys
and little girls, in bright clothes, as
they lifted the muslin cloths and peer
ed at the pale faces and wounds left
by pistol bullets, rifle balls and buck
shot. They fingered, then reluctantly
pressed on to some adjoining horror,
eager to miss nothing. There was
never a word of pity from the crowd.
These were the enemy slain in the
labor war. These men who came to
take their jobs were outsiders and en-
emies, and it served them right That
was the attitude of the town of Herrin
as expressed by its men and women.
