The performance;, which opens with stirring and opulent pageantry starts at 2 p. m, and 8 p. m. daily.

On taking the strike breakers into custody the mob be- gan a march toward Herrin. It was planned to put the men aboard the train leaving the coal fields. As far as could be learned by investiga- tions today only two are dead., Sidney Morrison, a . guide was killed while trying to protect a truck load of strike breakers and George Hendrickson, a miner was killed. Hardware -stores in Herrin and Magion were raided by the crowd to obtain weapons and am- munition. All fear of further disturbance passed, however, with ‘the exodus of strike‘breakers. Thd mines be- tween Marion and Herrin have been a sore spot with the unions ever since the walk out. April 1st. Marion, Ill, June 22—The mine operated by strike breakers owned by the Southern California Coal company, in which two were killed was shut down today. One hundred strike-breakers were conducted beyond the strike zone.

Strenuous efforts are being made in both the senate and the house to pass the new Capper-Tincher bill to regulate grain exchanges, the report to the county farm burcau office says. ‘The bill is designed to wipe out gambling in grain futures but at the same time to recognize legitimate hedging. It is a substitute for the grain exchange law which was held unconstitutional in some of its phases by the federal supreme court. Farmers in this county have been keenly interested in the fight for pub- lic regulation of the grain exchange, especially since the last session of the legislature, when the farm bureau took a statewide referendum to show the farmers’ demand for a law against gambling in food products. The new federal bill would regu- late the grain trade under the inter- state commerce clause of the consti- tution, The supreme court already has upheld the packer control bill, which is based on this clause. The grain trade bill recently knocked out by the supreme court was held a misuse of the taxing power. The new bill has been favorably reported by the house committee on agricul- ture.
