"BIoody Herrin"

You can't think of coal mining
without recalling Bloody Herrin"
and the gang war which has tortured
that section of Illinois for the last
few years and which has resulted in
another brutal murder.
1t has evolved from a strife to
preserve trade unionism into a Khan
and anti-Klan combat and from that
into mere rivalry of gangs.
One wonders If 1t will ever cease.
or If, like a Kentucky feud, it will be
carried forward to generation after
generation, defying not only the law,
but the demands of common decency.

.SK|RM|SH SEEN
THIS WEEK OVER
DRY REFERENDUM
Expected When Andrews
Amendments Are Called
Up in Senate.
Times WASHINGTON Bureau.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Prohi
bition leaders here are becoming
genuinely apprehensive over the
rapidly shifting sentiment against
the workings Of the eighteenth
amendment and the demand TO mod
ify the Volstead act.
Indicative of their alarm is the
manner in which they are shooting
at the proposal that there be clean
cut, State wide referendum where
the issue can be presented purely on
its merits, without consideration of
any entangling issues. Almost daily
in the Senate for the past week Sen
ators Caraway of Arkansas, Dill of
Washington and Tess Of Ohio have
argued heatedly agains. the referen-
dun.
Debate Rooms
Intensive debate on the proposal
is looked upon as a certainty this
week when Che Judiciary Committee
reports Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews
amendments to put additional
teeth into the law. The oratory the
past few days was merely a pre-
lininary skirmish, compared with
the flow of words expected to be
unloosened in the Senate when the
proposed acts actually come up for
consideration.
Senators James Wadsworth of
New York, probably leader of the
G. o. P. organization Of his State,
today in a statement urged the adop-
ton of the referendum idea by all
the States. 1t was Wadsworth' s
iniative which led to passage a ref
erendum In New York.

they should have it.

grave fundamental and constitu-
tional questions should be settled. "
Senator Wadsworth said the sug-
gestion of Senator Tess, dry, of Ohio,
that the elections every two years
are a test on prohibition sentiment,
does not satisfy the people.
"The voters know perfectly well
that there are other issues in every
election which becloud the prohibit

want chance to vote directly on
the prohibition issue. They know
that the referendums themselves
cannot have any effect directly on
the law but they regard it as their
right to use this means Of petition

should have this right under these
extraordinary circumstances.

HOUSE TO SPEED Up
FARM LEGISLATION
Haugen Intends Asking for
Night Sessions on Three
Pending Bills.

BY the Associated Press.
Turning back TO the subject today
after sidetracking it yesterday, the
House will devote the rest of the week
to surplus crop relief Legislation.
So many members are eager TO
speak on the problem that Chairman
Haugen of the agriculture committee
has decided to request night Sessions
10 provide more time for discussion
under the rule limiting general debate
to four days
The debate, which began Tuesday,
was adjourned over yesterday to per-
NIT the House to dispose or other
business. It will be continued until
Saturday night, and Monday the three
pending bills-the Haugen price
stabiliZation measure, the Tlncher
credit proposal, and Curtis-Aswell
commodity marketing plan-wlll DE
taken up for amendment. Leaders
doubt that the bills can be brought to
a final vote before the latter part OF
next week.
Fort Leads Attack.
All of the first day was consumed
nv two SpeecheS-an exposition OF MS
bill by Chairman Haugen and an at
tack on ii by Representative Fort, Ike
publican. New Jersey. This opposition
today by the agricultural legislative
committee, made up Of advocates of
the corn belt price Stablllzatlon-
equalization fee program written into
the Haugen bill. At the same time,
the National Cooperative Milk Pro
ducers' Federation issued a statement
supporting the Tincher bill, which is
favored by Secretary Jardine.
The corn belt committee held that
csC.J
an effort on the part of opponents of
farm relief legislation Ito divide the
country on an economic issue at
time when sectionalism growing out
of the Civil War has disappeared and
labor has abandoned its early efforts
to provoke a class struggle"
1.-THE strategy of this opposition to
farm relief legislation is simple and
easily understood, it said. 1T Is to
organize an industrial bloc arouse
Eastern consumer fears and form an
alliance with certain ultra-conserVa-
tives from the South. 1t is a move
that is shot through with sectional
ism and class prejudice, and consti-
tutes an aSsemblage of intiammable
material that may wreck political
parties and bring about new group
ings in our national life. Also, it is
the first definite and premeditated an
. nouncement by the industrial and
financial East of it's abandonment of
agriculture as a partner in its future
progress"
The Milk Producers Federation
argued that the Tincher bill is 1.-The
most practicable, the soundest and we
believe the most generally desirable"
1t opposed application of the equaliza-
ton fee principle to butter, as pro-
posed in the Haugen bill.
