Miners Determined to
March to Coal Fields

Continued from Page One)
denied admittance to the Duquoin
hospital and all first-aid treatment
in the city.
The deputies did not fire at the
tires, as reported by the business
press, which has shamefully sup
pressed the truth about the massacre.
Their machine guns were aimed di-
rectly at the windows, as the crack
ling of shattered glass proved. Hard
ly a car in the front ranks of the
motorcade escaped.
The state highway police are held
responsible for leading the miners
into the trap. They forced the min
ers off their line of march into an
other highway where the deputies
were hidden behind a curve in the
road.
Throughout the day, as the motor
caravan proceeded along the roads
to Franklin county, where some MN
ers had accepted the So wage scale
and returned to work, farmers greet
ed the m~archers. Thousands lined
the roadside to cheer them on.
An eyewitness gives this picture
of the murderous ambush:
"The windshield in u car was
shattered at the first fusillade, and
how we escaped injury is more than
| a say. We ducked low, and saved
our lives. Our driver turned our
car and it seemed everyone else was
trying to do the same. The road
was soon choked and we were forced
to abandon the car as the gunner
came charging toward us. They were
swinging clubs and firing guns.
"After the first attack many cars
attempted to get away with the
wounded to the hospital at Duquoin'
but the road was hopelessly damned.
The deputies made a second attack
and we leaped into the ditch. we
could hear bullets flying overhead.
After a few minutes we dashed
down the road, from car to car. Most
of them had been wrecked by the
deputies and some were aflame.
owe decided to go back and see
if we could get our machine. Then
we received the beating of our lives.
They held a machine gun against
me and beat me with clubs. All OF
us got the same treatment. All we
could do was to put u hands
against our heads to dull the force
of the blows.
"We got away again, but the coun-
tryside was alive with gunner and
every junction was guarded by ma
chine guns"
The commissary trucks were loot
ed of food and cars were robbed OF
whatever valuables they held. The
state police, protecting the gunner,
prevented the miners from reform
ing their shattered lines.
At Gillespie, insurgent headquar-
tiers, leaders announced that efforts
would be made to get into Franklin
county to picket the mines. Smaller
columns which marched north closed
all mines in Peoria, Fulton, Knox and
Tazewell counties, including the At
kinson mine, largest strip mine in
the world. This supplies the Rock
Island with fuel. In bloody Frank
lin county, insurgents claimed that
the only nine of % collieries even
tried to reopen. All local union meet
ings have been suspended in that
county, it was reported.
Miner Lauranti, picket who was
killed at the Bell and Zoller mine at
Zeigler, suffered a broken neck in
flicted by clubs before his body was
riddled by bullets, it was established
at a ~coroner's inquest. 1t was to
protest against this terrorism that
10000 miners tried to march n
Franklin county to re-establish the
right to picket.

Stocks Boom as Jobs
Show Further Drop

that there was an appreciate loss
during the month.
miss Frances Perkins, New York
state industrial commissioner, has
vigorously protested against mis-
leading propaganda that has emanat-
ed from Washington in respect to
the Interpretation of employment
statistics, and we add our emphatic
protest to hers. For many months
after this depression commenced,
there was a concerted effort to make
US believe that nothing serious was
happening and that the country would
promptly recover for a slight bust
ness recession. Unwarranted stimulus
thus given to business unquestion-
ably served to increase our subse-
quent difficulties.
august was the third month in
which the newspapers have been
full of items intended to convey the
impression that the United States is
in the revival stage of the business
cycle. When the statistics were pub
lished for June and July it became
apparent that the facts were exactly
the reverse of the impression created
by the news stories in the papers.
So far as information is available
for August, the same record seems to
be repeated. Production and employ
ment, adjusted for seasonal influ-
ences, continue their downward way,
while there is no statistical evidence
of the revival which is supposed to
be taking place in wholesale trade.
"The spirit of confidence is de-
rived, of course, from the rise of
prices, especially of prices in the
stock and bond markets. There is
a superstition in the United States
that the trend of stock prices fore
casts the trend of business some
months in advance. The stock mar
ket is almost wholly speculative,
based on speculative psychology; it
does not necessarily reflect real con-
ditions. Spectators are wrong about
as often as they are right in their
anticipation of what is to happen.
We have only to remember that in
1929 stocks kept on going up for
four months after business started
down lin June), and that in the
spring of 1881 a spirited revival in
stocks was not duplicated by a re-
vival in trade and employment, to
see how deceptive such a movement
may be.
September production figures sup
port the Labor Bureaus view. Au-
tomobile production is at the low
point Of the panic, except for a short
time last winter. There has been
but one slight upturn for a week
since late June. Production is slight
ly above half last years and is a
fourth of the average for 1927 to
1929. Automobile stocks are boom
ing in Wall Street, too. Electric pow
er output, which did not begin it's
real skid until a year ago now, is at
or near the low point for the de-
preston, with the summer slight
entirely wiped out by Aug.
Is and no appreciate change since.
And so it goes through the list. We
have turned no corner so far as
jobs are concerned.

ton viii be permitted to erect on the
island such monuments or related struc-
lures as may be recommended by 1t and
approved by the Commission Of Fine
Arts and by the Park and Planning
Commission. That, however, will be a
possible future development. The law
as it Is enacted makes the island the
national memorial and not such adorn-
ments or accessories as may hereafter
be installed.
Thus Roosevelt Island becomes part
of the park system of the Capital. 1t
will be accessible to the public for drives
and walks. It will be as attractive as
Rock Greek Park in its natural features.
While no specific present plan so pro-
vides, it Is to be believed that ultimately
the park area. of which this will be a
unit, will extend to and include the Vir-
ginia approaches to the Key Bridge,
eliminating the now disfiguring condi-
tions there prevalent Roosevelt Island
should not long be neighbOred by un-
loveliness, and to this end plans now
inchoate should be developed for the
earliest consideration and action per-
mitted by the state Of national finances
to clear and permanently preserve as
park the space that now flanks this
memorial islet and the approaches to
Arlington.

Splitting of Atom Creates
Debate as to Practical Uses

that the atom has been split is Of out
standing importance. Even laymen,
admittedly not acquainted with what IT
all means, nevertheless are interested"
AS the Cleveland News says: Science
may proudly acclaim this one of its
most sweeping triumphs. The world
may wag on its way, squander energy
by feeding coal to its furnaces, transfer
power by means Of belts and shafts and
other crude devices. Science has seen
a miracle Proudly will it treasure 1t.
Eagerly viii it seek to learn more about
it,"
It is the thought Of the Springfield
(Mass) Union that I'VE may be upon
the eve of the greatest and most far
reaching discovery Of all history in the
unlocking Of the vast energies stored in
the invisible units of matter" The
Toledo Blade advises that we go about
our ordinary tasks. leaving the atom
splitting to men who know how, while
others who understand join them in
solving the riddle of the life force.
Splitting the atom is only the opening
wedge" The Newark Evening News Is
interested in the fact that dire predic-
tions as to what would happen II the
atom were ever split did not come true.
1t says: And We are still here! When
somebody or another first figured out
that if an atom could be taken apart
the energy thus released would put all
motors, engines, turbines and windmills
out of business somebody else got
panicky. 1t was argued that when one
atom was exploded, the excess energy
would explode the next one, and
'pffst-the whole universe would go
bang like string Of firecrackers when
one is lit"
The Miami Daily News suggests that,
"as a matter of fact, We already have
more power than we have learned safely
to use. From the too much power, with
its too much product, We are now SUI
fering the poverty of an overplus. Hitch
the atom to our wheels, and, in the light
of our present wisdom, ruin would be

% per cent Of the stock Of the gas
companies have been ordered to divest
themselves Of that stock and have been
debarred from voting or otherwise
using it. II "a per cent Of the stock
cannot be voted, the sitting Of the
majority would prevent the transaction
Of any business. But the stockholders
meeting has been ordered and In al
probability will be held. If any action
is taken on anything, the Public Utili-
ties Commission will have been openly
defied, as it has been defied before, and
the battle will be on.
The consumers interest in this battle
is indicated in some Of the revelations
concerning the devious and involved
proceedings that have marked the own
ership and management of the gas
company since it passed from local con-
troll. Senator Capper's recent reference
to the milking" that has been in
progress is based on statements of fact
concerning payment of large fees to
experts" who were sent here by the
out-of-town ownership to make eff
cheney investigations; to the attempt by
these out-of-town interests to sell the
local gas companies its own pipe line
and to the difficulties faced by the
resident president Of the gas companies
to make effective a reduction of rates
in keeping with the profits from the
sale of gas. The legal questions that
are soon to find their way into court
for attempted settlement are confused
ami complicated, but the basic question
for settlement relates to the extent to
which those who enjoy monopoly in
such an essential commodity as gas may
go in utilizing that monopoly for the sup
port of huge financial structures, with
rates based on the needs of that struc-
ture for revenue and not on the value
Of goods and services rendered. A test
Of the law that in theory would pre-
vent the very conditions that now are
recognized in connection with the own
ership and control Of the gas company
is needed as never before, and If that
law is found to be as full of legal loop
holes as 1t appears to be, it is the duty
Of Congress to remedy its defects.

Following British Example.
Times-Union.

From the Rochester TimeS-Union.
Apparently Canada has become tired
of privately controlled and owned radio.
The Bennett government, with Its over
Whelming control of Parliament, has
announced that consent of the United
States Radio Commission had been OBJ
tanned to the redistribution Of channels,
needed to make the Dominion owner
ship scheme, worked out by the Radio
Commission Of the House OF Commons,
feasible.
The Canadian plan apparently falls
into two distinct parts. The first calls
for a chain of high-power stations,
operating on clear channels and suit
ably situated to span the Dominion.
The second calls for a number OF low
power stations, operating strictly locally
and situated as required for community
service.
The entire plan Is TO be under the
direction of a commission OF three, with
assistant commissioners in every prov
ince whose duty will be TO carry on
the business Of broedcasting The
time permitted advertising would be
limited to per cent OF the total OF
any given program.
Private ownership Is limited to sta
tions of 100 watts or less, and as MAJ
Of these as needed are TO be license6
The radio structure is TO be supported
by license fees on sets and advertising
revenue. All revenue is to be expended
in the interest of radio. The fees are
to be fixed by the governor -in-council.
The Radio Commissions report gives
due credit to the existing private sta
tions but concludes that the present
system, excellent as it Is in certain
respects, does not meet the require
mentS in quality and scope Of broad
casting to insure its maximum bene-
fits
The plan would seem to follow fairly
closely the British system. with GER
tain improvements.
