THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE W™..rK.„s MASSACRE, IT IS CLAIMED The Massacre’ Was Lead hy 86 Lithuan ian Bolshevists. <ny the Aaeoerotee Priest | New York. Sept. Uta—Eighty-six Lithunnian Bolshevists led the Herrin massacre of non-union Illinois miners, the United Mine Woa-kers of America charges in making public today ’the third of a series .of articles, exposing nil al leged plot by Moscow Communists to gain control of organized labor iu the I United States and .Canada, stage a inv olution and overthrow tlie existing gov ! ernments. j Tiie mob leaders—37* of them —were I members at . JJett-rjn of > the Bolshevist ' Lithuanian branch of the Communist party of America, according to the miu j ers* article, ,10 other members of tlie , same party 'were imported as agents to (foment the attack on tlie strip mine of | tile Southern Illinois Coal Company which culminated in the violent death of 22 men in June last year. “This revolting. inexcusable crime' was fomented, promoted and caused sole ly by Communists,” says tlie writer. "It was a carefully planned affair, schemed witli all tlie diabolic cruelty and disre gard for law that chnracterices the Communist movement." William Foster, promoter of the ■ “one big union” idea in America, is al leged to have been the dominating fig ure in events preceding the massacre, numbering among his aides Jack Carney. 1 Chicago editor of the nidicaf Voice of Labor, Nick Dozeuburg. Carney’s busi ness manager, Arne Sw-abot-k, of tlie central executive committee. Communist (Party of America. Oscar Larson of the Young Communist League. Gus Fraem-k --el.

Tlie author's history of the massacre . follows: *'• “For more than seven weeks prepara tions had been in progress in Franklin and Williamson counties to bring about tlie attack'-upon the strike breakers and armed guards at the strip mine. Yio-i ience and disorder were rampant in ! southwestern Pennsylvania. Communist I groups in New York, Cleveland I 'mid Chi cago were active in their efforts to] cause the strike in southwestern I’eun- I ! sylvauia to expand into a great revolu- j tior.aty movement in which the original j causes for the cessation of work in the! mines would be lost sight of aud an J SOUTHERN RAILWAY i SYSTEM The spirit of service To provide freight and passenger transportation for the millions of patrons of the Southern Railway System requires the services of 60,000 men and women and the use of railroad properties in which $710,000,000 has been invested. This is the largest business enterprise in the South, and one of the largest in the world. It is an insti tution of the South, operated by men bred in the traditions of the South. We of the Southern, well knowing that the suc cessful operation of this great transportation service depends upon our gaining and holding the good will of the Southern people, appraise our day’s work not in the cold figures of income accounts , and balance sheets, but in the value that the South places on Southern Railway service. * “The Southern serves the South” is the spirit ' of the day’s work of the men and women of the Southern Railway System, who are serving you night and day on 8,300 miles of lines throughout Southern Railway System deposits in Southern banks an average of $150,500 each banking hour. armed insurrection having for its pur pose the establishment of a Bolshevist dictatorship in this country and enforc ed recognition of the Russian dictator ship and the Communist International, would be Jjrought about. “The plan was to have simult Alrsntw* uprisings* in southern Illinois and, if possible, in tlie vicinity of Bellnire, Ohio, which also was a hotbed of Communist agitation and propaganda, and in the l-egiou surrounding Uniotown. Pa. -'A telegram seut to local union offi cials Herrin by John L. Lewis, presi dent of the United Mine Workers, plac ing workers of tlie strip mines inutile category of "strike breakers” was shrewdly twisted and distorted, accord ing to,the boasts of the Communist lead eds at Chicago, into an ‘invitation’ to attack tin- strip mines and - the work men employed there. / "Officials of tin- United Jlthe .Workers hnda_ no intimation that an attack was contemplated, or that a conspiracy with in the Communist Party of America ex isted at the time to precipitate a trag edy such as to<ik place the day after the telegram was received from President Lewis. “Agitation under the active efforts of tlie Communists continued during May and June. The strike urea in southern Illinois was carefully examined and tin points where riot, violence or armed in surrection might be started were char ted and catalogued. In tlie li'st of these places were Christopher, Zoigler, Sesser and Herrin. “With the local Lithuanian miners as a nucleus--'a Communist Party chapter wjis organized in Herring holding meet ings secretly iu the Lithuianian lan guage but taking instructions from agents of Dozenburg in tlie offices of Carney at Chicago. Quietly and stealthily they worked, among tlie idle miners at Her- I rin. preaching armed attack upon tin strip mine." I'uion strikers at Herrin inquired of 'President Lewis the status of the non union miners who continued working the strip mine while the national strike was in progress. In a telegram on June 20 lie 'classified them ns strike-breakers, "This telegram was pounced upon by the Communist agents and distorted into Inn excuse for an attack upon tin- stripe ] niine/’ continues the narrative. "The workers there were captured and. under j the leadership of tlie 1!) Cdmniunist j agents who, according to Dozenburg. had j been imported for tlie purpose of staff ing insurrection and revolution, the men ! were shot down." j Freshly encouraged by this success f &the SOUTHERN' SERVES THE SOUTH ■"ijii ii >" i aa|raMMr mm *j? v ' ■ IS the Communists are said to have rgdJu bled activity among! railroad, marme traimport and farm workers. The sea men already were organized as “one big 1 union," so the minimum of effort wns necessary-in that direction. Tile miners 1 Itjdso were “one big union," ripe for cap nffia by tjjt- Moscow agents. But there < wertPfouF «ig brotherhoods and 16 unions ' on >the railroads, so, “in order to con trol them as a unit anil mobilize them < into the Foster one-union scheme, the, ‘Minnesota Plan’ for a single “depart- 1 mental industrial union’ wns evolved.” The railroads became the next object- ' ive. The Herrin massacre hud demon strated what the miners would do if 1 properly ehaiieroued. Tlie plan now was- 1 to bring about ill some quarter, prefer ably a vital niidronl center like Chica- ! go or Pittsburgh a similar outbreak ; Among rail workers. The shop crafts - were then on strike. "The convention of agents of tlie Com munist International and- leaders of the, ' Communist Party of America eonstitut- I'd one of the greatest conspiracies in the hjstory of the United StatVs.”' the mine workers’ narrator continues. t ' “Intent upon' promoting the genbrtil uprising of -all coal mine, railroad, ma rine transport aud farm workers and carrying their aim to a successful real- 1 ization before the coal and railroad [ strikes could be settled, their revolution ary sitting were cut short by the appear- 1 atice of the county sheriff, ‘ "The raid up6n that convention was j ofle of the greatest blows-the Communist organization in America ever received. Its members were confined in jail and compelled to shift their activities from tlie promotion of industrial revolution to the raising of money for bail and pre- ' paring a defense in an effort to escape limprisonmentj under Michigan's crinii nnl syndicalism law.” i Since then, it is charged, the Commun ists tried unsuccessfully to foment a general strike among the rail workers last November, and among coal miners lusf—April 1. which also failed of exe cution. Another "one big union” move-' ment was launched among transportation workers.’ however, from an office in St. Paul, Minn.
