Agitators.

Franklin County Officers Lay Unrest to
Agitators.
BY the Associated Press.
BENTON, Ill, August 26.-Franklin
County officials, having repulsed the in
vasion of striking miners from North
ern and Central Illinois who sought to
force the closing Of coal mines In this
region following acceptance of wage
reduction for union miners, today said
they were prepared to direct attention
toward alleged radical activities within
the county.
Patrols of special deputy sheriffs con-
tinued to guard highways leading into
tl.e county, center of large bituminous
coal-producing area, but there was no
indication of an immediate reattempt
on the part of the upstate miners to
keep Southern Illinois miners from
work.
Tension, brought about by develop
ments of the last week, which included
several clashes between officers on the
one hand and striking miners or mine
picketS on the other, resulting in one
death and a number of injuries, had
lessened considerably.
Additional mines have been reopened
each day, with 10 operating today in
Franklin County, but officials at 30
county seat here admitted that there is
still much unrest growing out of the
approval of SIS daily wage scale by
International President John L. Lewis
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea and other union officials. This un-
rest. Franklin officials said, is attrib-
utable to radical agitators."
