THINK STRIKE IS BLUFF
Atlantic City, N. J., June 22.—
“So often has the cry of wolf been
sent far and wide that this seems
to have the same earmarks,” declared
C. E. Fuller of the Union Pacific
railroad today in discussing the
threats of a nation-wide strike.
“It is unlikely that labor men will

long for them.”
Three Found Hanged
By Associated Press.
Herrin, III., June 22.—A check up
at noon today, made by the As-
sociated Press, showed twenty-six
known dead, and indications that the
total will be more than thirty, as a
result of hostilities between striking
union miners and employes in the
strip mines of the Southern Illinois
Coal Company, near here.
The bodies of the dead are spread
over an area fifteen miles square,
some riddled with bullets, while
others were beaten to death. Three
bodies wait.found hanging by ropes
to trees.
An Associated Press correspond-
ent, after ten ineffectual attempts,
today finally persuaded a taxicab
driver to take him through the scene
of the fight.
The strip mine was on fire, n
freight train on the siding was also
burning, while miners looted several
cars of food supplies.
Wounded Plead for Water
In a road near the mine six men
were found tied together, their
bodies terribly mangled by bullets
and clubs. They lay in the scorch-
ing sun while hundreds of men and
women laughed at their pleas for
water, made in the name of God.
One man whose face was bloody
and one shoulder shot away, ap-
parently within a few minutes of
death, begged: “Please, boys, give
me a drink.” A laugh from hun-
dreds of spectators was the only re-
ply. The correspondent rushed to
a house for water, when he returned
he was faced by men with quickly'
drawn nistols and told to keep away.
When the man again again begged
for water, “for God’s sake,’’ a
young woman with a baby in her
arms, placed her foot on the mangled
body and said: “I’ll see you in hell
before you get any water.”
