" [PERATORS ADED REDS,SAYMINERS Senate Asked to Investigate Radical Activities in Coal " Industry. The charge that “communists and other destructive reds have received substantial encouragement and ald from non-union coal operators” Is made today by Ellis Searles, repre- senting the United Mine Workers of America, replying to a recent state- ment by John C. Brydon, president of the National Coal Assoclation, ‘which yidiculed the union's recent ex- vose of communistic activities in the coal flelds. At thewsame time Mr. Searles, in be- Lulf of the union, proposed that a committee of the United States Sen- ate make a thorough investigation of the subject, and predicted if that were done, “thefe are persons in and out of the coal industry who probably will feel like running for cover.” Ready to Aid Searel Mr. Searles’ statement says the only attack on the revelations of com- munistic activities came from non- uniom coal operators, who “are as anxious as the communists to wreck and destroy the United Mine Workers of America.” He adds that on March 16, 1923, Mr. Brydon called Thomas R. Marshail, a member of the United States.Coal Commission, on the long- distance telephone, told him of al- leged cases of dynamiting of coal company property, and placed the blame on the mine union. The union stands ready to help in every way to discover the perpetrators of these crimes, Mr. Searles wrote Mr, Brydon. The le the mine worker's repre- sentative sald, was never answered. “Furthermore, Mr. Brydon and his non-union coal operator assoclates are at this time preparing to launch 2 vicious publicity attack against the communist and expose made by the United Mine Workers of America, and this campaign will break forth in a <hort time, the letter states. “It will dd further courage and boldness to the red element in this country, be- cause the campaign will attempt to absolve the reds and communists from ull responsibility for the crimes that have been committed. Answers Herrin Critielsm. “Some newspapers in comménting on the six articles criticized the Tnited Mine Workers of America be- cause this organization did not make ublic during or before the trials at ferrin, Ill, the fact that the Herrin massacre was fomented, instigated and engineered by communists, in- stead of waliting until months after- ward. “The fact is that we were not aware of the communist plot until after the Herrin trials were over. Therefore, it was impossible for the union to ex- pose the matter at that time. The facts were given to the public as soon as it was possible to do so in def- inite form. The Herrin massacre oc- curred in June, 1922, and ‘the investi- gation was not completed until the last of August, 1923. We published the expose in the week of September 10.” FEARED PARENTS’ ANGER. Two Girls Stay Out Late and In- vent Kidnaping Story. Fear of parental anger because they had remained out late caused two girls, Lucille Dennison, thirteen, and Roberta Hutchison, sixteen, to invent a story of having been kidnaped and chloro- formed, that kept the police ®f the Ana- costia precinct station busy for several hours, until central office detectives wrung,_the truth from the palr. 1f you want t disguise your hand jest use a pust office pen.
