When the strike began April 1. the
miners, seemingly. welcomed the oc-
casion as vacation.
The two months OF tho strike were
spent by the men in repairing their
homes. fishing. visiting. aud some of
the foreigners. mainly Italians. de-
clared their intention of visiting rel
atives in Europe.
The first payments OF strike benc-
fits were paid 10 the striking men
about two weeks ago. Each miner
was given Sc.
Although the men have been on
strike for nearly three months, few

bers OF the plan of the Southern Hi
nois Coal Company to open n strip
pit six miles east Of here This is
tho mine where the killings took
place There is no telephone or tele-
graph communication TO tho mining
zone from either Herrin or Marion.
The mine Is located close to Il place
called Trcndshaw Cross. midway be-
tween this city and Marion.
Rcopening Proves Sensation.
When plans for tho opening OF the
pit materialized and the men. who
are members OF the steam shovel
union. were imported from Chicago
miners gathered and discussed tho
plan. The mine owners guards. with
machine guns was the sole topic.
Tons Of coal were taken from the
surface pits and some of IL shipped
away. local officials OF the Illinois
Miners Union protesting against the
action.
But the mining Wen; on uninter-
ruptcdly until word came from John
l.. Lewis. president OF the United
Mine Workers OF America, that the
men working the mine should lie con-
sidcred las common strike breakers, g
and that the steam shovel union. to
which the men said they belonged
had been outiawed by the American
Federation OF Labor.
several hours after this message
was received, the entire county de-
veloped a nervous tension. and the
massacre followed.
