National Coal Association to Prosecute Herrin Instigators
Pittsburg Pennsylvania August 1 The National Coal Association issued a statement promising a sweeping impartial investigation of the Merrin massacre. It said leaders of the mob are known and that at least 600 members can be arrested at any time. Attorney General Brandage of Minds says the association will lay its evidence before the governor of Illinois. Survivors point to an official of the United Mine Workers who allegedly urged the takeover of the town as an army squad executed spies or traitors. Investigators corroborated stories of brutal treatment of wounded and reported some bodies branded.
