MINE WAR PROBE NOW UNDER WAY; 27 70 45 DEAD' (Continued from First Page.) making unprintable remarks about the bodies. The order of Gov. Small last night to hold 1.000 men of the militia in readi- ness in Chicago was greeted on the street here with sarcastic comment. His request for an official report brought more sarcasm, the gist of| which seemed to be that there was nothing to report officially. Early this morning several news- paper men were privately informed that plans were afoot to burn a num- ber of mines where in previous years kad been labor troubles. The corre- spondents were told to go to a certain mine at 1 o'clock this morning and they would see what was termed a party.” Many automobiles carrying men passed in the direction of the mine fire and no trouble. All that remains of the Lester mine 1= a heap of ashes, for it was set on fire shortly after the attackers cap- tured it. Bar Out-of-Town Papers. Local new nds were informed late last night that if they sold any out-of-town papers containing ac- counts of the fighting they would be “treated roughly,” The newsstands promptly closed ' up. Local papers published comparatively small counts, and, in fact, nowhere in the country is less news of the massacre published than right here, five miles from the scene of it.

There are about thiriy-five of the Jargest mines in the country within tke county's borders. Strip or surface collieries in the county number four, but are considered small mines in comparison with the deep shafts. Bloody Williamson County. The county, which is in the part of | southern Illinois called “Little Egypt,” has been noted for miner disorders in the past, because of which it has been called “bloody” Willlamson county. Although the men have been on atrike for nearly three months, few disorders in connection with the walkout were reported until reports reached the members of the plan of the Southern Illinois Coal Company to open the mine where the killings took place. When the plans materialized and the men, who are members of the steam shovelmen's unions, ‘were im- ported from Chicago, miners gathered and discussed the plan. The mine owners' guards, with machine guns, was the sole topic. Tons of coal were taken from the surface pits and some of it shipped away, local officials of the Illinois miners” union protesting against the action. But_the mining went on uninter- ruptedly until word came from John 1. Lewis, president of the United Mine | that the men | ‘Workers of America, working the mine should be consider- ed as ‘‘common strikebreakers,” and that the steam shovelmen's union, to which the men sald they belonged, had been outlawed by the American Federation of Labor. Several hours after thls message was recelved, the entire county de- veloped a nervous tension and the massacre followed. POLICE AID SURVIVOR.

The District Commissioners today called Into conference members of the board of trustees of the Industrial Home School and the members of the board of children’s guardians in an effort to settle controversial points between the two boards relating to the disposition of children committed to the care of the board of children's guardians. The meeting was a climax of the Industrial Home School situation, in | which charges had been made that | members of the board of children's guardians were attempting to close the Industrial Home School by with- drawing the children there and plac- ing them in private homes.

Had vengeance deliberately sought the means that would most surely destroy the sympathy of the Irish people, they could not have chosen a surer path. * * * To Ulster and to those who sympathize with Ulster a new count is added to the wretched feud that has already cost so many lives.” The newspaper urges sus- pension of judgment regarding re- sponsibility for the crime, and depre- |cates indicting a nationfor an act which cannot be assumed, without evidence, to have Been the work even of a clique. The Daily News contends that the “disgusting outrage” has not even the palliation that might be urged in behalf of the murder of an oppressor. It continues: “The most distorted in- telligence could not represent Wilson as Ireland’s tyrant. The crime was apparently political, the mere cold- blooded kllling of a defenseless man on account of his opinion: The newspaper classes the crime with “the orgy of murder which has been rag- ing for weeks past in Belfast,” and adds: “It casts as black a stain on the Sinn Feiners as the butchery the MacMahons on the Orangeman.
