Hfrrln, III., .Tunc 23. llerrln today
Rfflfllned quiet nftcr the wild disorders
ti yesterday, In which nt least twenty
MTtn men were killed and nn unknown
number wounded when B0O0 union
miners and sympathizer attacked ap
proximately half n bundled imported
itcam shovel men and' laborers working
5-.
In the Lester strip pit of the Southern
Illinois Ceal Company.
Herrin Is located in Southern Illi
nois, about 100 miles southeast of St.
Leuis and 250 miles from Chicago.
County officials maintained that since
no one remained ie work In the strip
pit tlmt of Itself waa n guarantee
against further outbreaks, and asserted
the 1000 members of the Illinois Na
tional Guard ordered te mobilize In
Chicago for possible duty here were un
necessary. An Inquest Inte the carnage wrought
by the miners and tiieir supporters,
when, influenced by moonshine whisky
Mid angered at the efforts of the strip
pit workers who hnd been termed in
a telegram from the mine workers'
International chief "common strike
breakers," they bore down at dawn
en the huddled group, was set for te-
day.
However, until Inte last night no of
ficial step te Investigate the affair had
been taken, no 'Grand Jury nhd been
summoned, and no nrrcst bud been
made.
Miners iii Herrin streets openly
boasted that they participated in the
Infliction of deaths by gunfire, hanging
1 and dragging through the streetH in a
vtrltnbte !tb'!hah"hnliday, but there was
no action against them.'
Mere Deaths Expected
That the death list would be in
creased today seemed te be the con cen
census of opinion. Fifteen bodies were
weighted about the necks and cast into
a uend. a miner told a correspondent
for the Associated Press, and the nrcaj
mated at firtccn square miles of hilly,
timbered land.
The statement of Frank Farrington,
president of the Illinois branch of the
Lnlted Mine WerkerH of America, is
sued at Cincinnati, that his information
indicated forty-four men liad been
killed, was interpreted na meaning thnt
the entire number of besieged strike
breakers had perished, nltlieugh of his
own knowledge, the Associated Press
correspondent could account for but
wen mere than a score of bodies. JSJr.
larringtnn was expected te reach Hel
rln tonight.
The dead nt flret were reported ac
counted for in a pitched battle between
ne aimers ana sympathizers and the
.imported pit btrippers when the local
Pmen attacked the barricaded workers
at dawn.
Men Cruelly Massacred
Uter, howevcr, open statements
rem scores of persons en the streets
nere were te the effect that the working
men aurrendexed nt the first enslnugbt
and, after having been tied Inte groups
of three and bIx, were cruelly massa
