REVENGE FEARED
BY HARLAN FOLK
Several Seek New Homes
After Testifying as Senate
Probe Ends.
By the Associated Press.


A little band of Kentucky mountain
folk looked for new homes and Jobs
today as "hideaways" from vengeance,
which they said they feared because
OF their testimony about labor condi-
tions in Harlan County.
At the end of the Senate Civil Lib
critics Committees inquiry into "vio-
lence and anti-union terrorism" in the
Harlan coal fields, several of the wit
nesses told reporters they dared not
return to their homes.
I'VE would be killed for telling how
the coal operators used their gunmen
to break up the miners union" said
one.
Bullet-scarred Hugh Taylor, former
deputy sheriff who testified he was
left for dead after one attack, said he
was going away-somewhere in Vir-
ginia
Those company deputies would get
me sure, if I went back" he added.
Weekly Reports Asked.
The protection of the Federal Gov
ernment followed them out of the
hearing room. Chairman La Toilette
continued all subpoenas and ordered
every witness to report his whereabouts
at least once week
Committee attaches explained that
any violence done Senate witness
would be Federal offense.
Burly miners. their wives and chill
dren appeared before the committee
during three weeks of hearings to tell
their stories of violence in Harlan
County. Some said company-paid
deputies and mine guards rarely were
convicted by local courts, mo matter
what they do"
La Toilette ended the hearings yes
terday by reading from the war record
of Sheriff Theodore Middleton. He
said official files disclosed Middleton
had been refused an officers commits
sion because of lack of veracity."
The sheriff's cousin, Merle Middle
ton, earlier had answered Il don't
recall that just now to La Fclletts

members.
Previous witnesses ascribed The at
tacks to Merle Middleton and others
Coal company officials have denied
knowledge of such crimes.
Testimony Denounced.
In dismissing Merle Middleton from
the witness stand, La Toilette said:
For the benefit of future readers Of
the record, who cannot see your atti-
tude on the witness stand, l want to
say that your memory has been so
blank and your testimony so evasive
that I believe it it not worth serious
consideration"
During the hearings the United
Mine Workers announced new cam
paign for members in Harlan County,
and Gov. A. B. Chandler began efforts
to revise the countys law enforcement
system. Witnesses had declared the
coal companies paid scores of armed
deputy sheriffs to suppress organiza-
ton of laborers
Investigators indicated they might
reopen hearings at any time IF there
Is new outbreak OF violence against
union members"

Y, represerl- tative of Miss Erin Sampson, of Mclean, Va, who is the organizer of a well known series of personal ly conducted Paris study groups. Miss Samson plans 8 special group for this summer, members of which may take courses at the Sorbonne, in Paris, for additional college cred- its, as well as travelling through places of interest in France, Bel- gium, and Holland. The group has been opened to girls who have conn pleted one or more years of college and the tour has been approved by the clergy and other responsible organizations both in this country and France. The tour differs from the ordinary tourist trip in that the girls will have the advantage of Miss Samson's long Parisian exper- fence and personal guidance as to lists of shops, dressmakers, restau- rants and places of amusement.
