By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, 1IL, August 3 P McGrath, vice president of the rail- way employes' department of the American Federation of Labor (shop- crafts workers), issued a statement today declaring the real cause of the Michigan Central wreck at Gary, Ind., early Sunday, “was clearly an unfit locomotive,” and characterizing the rallroad’s charges that the wreck was due to pletters as a “hastily patched- up explanation to place the blame for loss of life upon the striking shop- men instead of on the railroad,” where it belongs. He said the wreck did not differ “a particle from wrecks reported each day from various parts of the country.” “Reports are based upon an inves- tigation by company officials and armed guards,” he said. “What can the public expect to get in the way of unblased reports from men who are hired to fight the employes on strike?” Wreck Laid to Plot. McGrath's statement came on the {heels of the verdict of the coroner's {jury, which found that the engineer iand fireman of the wrecked express came to their death “as a result of a plot to wreck the train.” i It also followed an announcement by State's Attorney Crowe's office ad- mitting fallure to discover sabotage plots in correspondence seized in ralds upon the offices of William Z. Foster, radical leader and head of the Trades Union Educational League. - Federal investigators asserted thaj Foster had been under close surveil- lance for a long tlme and declared they would have known if train wrecking was to have played a part | in the “one big union” program of Foster and his followers. Confimed’ to Ome Union Idea. Foster's ‘activities, so far as fed- eral and state investigators could learh, were confined to his efforts to convert trade unionists to his “one big -union” idea~through which, it was agserted, Foster hopes to gain control of American labor organiza- tions. Federal investigation of the wreck was continued today. Agents under orders from the Department of Jus- tice took a number of striking shop- men into custody at Gary for ques- tioning. [ —— PRESIDENT GRATIFIED BY HERRIN CASE ACTION Effort to Prosecute Those Guilty in Mine Massacre Wins High Praise. | i . CHICAGO, August 22—President] Harding, in .a letter received by the { Illinois Chamber of Commerce, ex- pressed gratification at the organiza- tion's statewide campaign for a fund to bring about the detection and prosecution of those guilty of the Herrin mihe massacre. The letter was in reply to a tele- gram from the chamber of commerce following the chief executive's speech bhefore Congress, {n which he cen- sured Illinois for its failure to see Jjustice done. It read: “It is & gratifying thing to know that there is_a determination that Justice: shall be done. It was ex- tremely necessary to refer to the af- fair in my address to the Congress. because the general public did not seem 'to know that the federal gov- ernment was powerless to act in the | matter, . and it was unbearable to have .a widespread impression that the féderal government was willingly or_purposely ignoring that inexcusa- ble crime. “There 18, of course, a conacience in Tilinois which will not tolerate such a disgraceful thing. It will be very pleasing to me and reassuring to the whole country to know that this conscience, is finding expression.” CHARLES' August 22—Trial Allen on a charge of treason in connection with the march of armed miners on Logan county a year ago, was adjourned in i circuit court yesterday until Wed-: nesday.
