Absence of these caretak ers on the lob through agreement r.f operators and miner officials would have meant ruin for millions of dollars worth of mines through flooding. Attempts to sift through the mase of rumors, reports, contra dictions and facts of the mine war to obtain an uncolored account of the events leading up to it, tonight after everythlog was quiet, brought I two authentic reviews of the af v,falr one from 4 unlon omcial an4 nottier from a state military of ficial. , , , 'Hugh Willis, district board menu ber ot the miners' union, in 'the first- sUtemsnt from union officials concerning the massacre, told news paper reporters the blame lay squarely on the coal operators who imported strike breakers. He declared that the first shots were tired by the strike breakers and that these shots' were without provocation and that one of the chief causes ot th disaster was the high hanud, manner in which the Importers "held up private citl sens and refused to let them tra verse the" public highways by the mines." He made no attempt' to deny that the affair really was a massacre, but tnslsted it wts not started bv miners. v Colonel Samuel Hunter, ot the State Adjutant !neral's office, re viewed his official Investigation of tha disaster, the following being the salient points of his report: That Col. Hunter on half a dox en occasions asked Sheriff Tharton and other local county officials lt they wanted troops sent here but was told each time even after the flarhttnr stai-tprt that tha local lu. torlttes could handle the matter. That he urged the mine officials fo close It down to avoid a disaster but the request was refused. .- That an indignation meeting of six hundred miners was held Just outside of Herrln the day before the fighting started. That he persuaded the besieged workers to run up a white flag and obtain consent from miner officials for a truce, but that this truce was broken; by whom, he did not know. Both reports termed the armed guards at ttie mine, "gunmen." Investigations were contemplated today by several State representa tives from Springfield and the cor oner started his inquest by swear ing In the Jury. It then adjourned until Sunday. States Attorney Duty said he probably would . recom mend a Grand Jury investigation that this would depend primarily on what the inquest uncovered: All officials were of the opinion that no evidence would be obtainable.
