laid on the point that survivors of
the massacre are able to point out
the official of the United Mine

word to take the unarmed prisoners
off the roads into the woods and
ahoot them down in the manner of
an army squad executing spies or
traitors, says the announcement..
The statement addj:
"The National Coal association
report supports the contention of
the Illinois attorney-general that
the massacre was the result of a
well laid conspiracy and that the
riot was not spontaneous.
"The report deals comprehen
sively with such matters as the
telegram sent to Herrin by John L.
Lewis, president of the United Mine
workers; failure of the sheriff to do
his duty; organization of the mob
as a military machine and the un
kept truce pledges assumed jointly
by the sheriff and the ranking lo
cal official of the United Mine
workers.
Lewis' telegraphic instruction!
to treat the members of the steam
shovel men's union as 'an outlaw
organization and common strike
breakers' was followed on succes

THIRTY' IX.1R.MED MEN' SLAIX
Total Casualties or Herrin Plot
on Both Sides 71 to 7 9.
J.?Zt,ir''l Tribune Leased Wl r.
CHICAGO. July 31. (Special.)
Best figures now obtainable indi
cate that 30 unarmed men, who had
surrendered under a flag of truce,
were slaughtered by union miners
in the massacre at Herrin 111
June 21-22..
A checkup by various labor
agencies and coal associations shows
that there were 72 men in the mine
when it was attacked. Of this num
ber 64 are either dead, wounded or
missing, while the total casualties
on both sides numbered more
than 70.
The check-up shows:
Non-union miners and guards in the
mine, 72; bodies of victim, officially
buried, 19; non-union men wounded, at;
non-union men missing and beliered to
be dead, 11. Total casualties of non-union
fide, 4.
Union men killed, 2; union man who
died from wounds, 1; union men wound
ed (estimated). 4 to 8. Total casualties
on union side (estimated), 7 to 15
Total casualties on both sides. 71 to 79.
Only eight of the 72 men in the
mine are known to have escaped
unhurt, or with minor injuries. Of
the desperately wounded, two are
still in a hospital at Herrin and
four in Chicago hospitals. There is
season to believe the missing men
were killed in the woods and burled
where they fell, or thrown Into the
pits around the mine.

ARMY CHIEF IN CUSTODY
President's Iron Hand Puts Down
' Insurgents; Losses in. Battle
" May Never Be Known..
BY CHARLES P. LUCAS.
fCnicairo Tribune Kr!irn News Service.
Copyright; by the Chicago Tribune.!
RIO DE JANEIRO. July W. tBy
Courier.) The revolution that fired
the state of Pernambuco when Pres
ident Fessoa sought to install Lima
Castro as governor. In the face of
election returns, is over. Marshal
Hermes de Fonseca, highest rank
ing officer of the army, is under
arrest. The rebel garrison that
seized Fort Copacabana to remon
strate against alleged political au
tocracy has been wiped out.
People here tell me. however, that
the real cause of the revolt, the
men behind the movement, have not
been apprehended and that the vol
cano is merely quiescent.
One thing, however, is certain:
President Pessoa has shown the
military forces that oppose him that
he has power; that he knows no con
sideration for his enemies, and that
he is fearless in the face of popular
opposition.
After being closed for two days
during the battle between federal
and rebel forces, the banks opened
with exchange firm on July 8. It
closed only a few points above the
point of closing on July 3. Whether
the United States will look with fa
vor upon Brazilian financial condi
tions after the truce situation be
comes known remains a matter of
conjecture. . v
Ijosses Not Disclosed.
How many people were killed or
wounded probably never will be
known. The government does not
issue such figures, but It has been
estimated that the casualties totaled
more than 1000.
There are occasional stories of
graft involving high government
officials and the country's finance.
These stories had considerable to do
with the revolt against the adminis
tration. For this reason, it is
avowed on the streets, the memo
vies of the men who perished fight
ing the federal forces on July 7
will live in Brazilian history, despite
the fact' that they are officially
classed as enemies of the country.
These men believed they ,were 'right
and died shouting their demands for
literal freedom in the republic.
The time may come when all Bra
zil will ask why the republic has a
deficit of 1.000.000 contos; why she
is continually borrowing money,
spending it and not having suffi
cient with which to pay the interest
on her loans, but must borrow still
more money for interest purpbses.
The scars of the revolution still
are to be seen. I was taken to a
small plaza at Recife on my ar
rival. It is faced by a newspaper
office and In that building I counted
the marks of 113 bullets. From this
building there were taken one dead
and five wounded men shot by the
soldiers. But these men took heavy
toll before they died, flinging sticks
of dynamite at the 50 soldiers who
attacked the office and causing
them to flee in disorder. '
Marshal's Letter Offends.
Marshal de Fonseca's primary of
fense, as alleged by the government,
and one of the sparks that 3et off
the powder keg of revolt, was a
letter which he wrote to an irmy
colonel advising him that he had
best read the constitution before
carrying out orders from the gov
ernment. This letter created a sen
sation, for while the marshal is the
highest ranking officer, the presi
dent is his superior, and his letter
was construed as a violation of all
military codes.
Fort Copacabana, the stronghold
of the rebels, where the 'main
event" of the revolution occurred, is
considered one of the strongest forts
r. the world.- It is built into the
side of a rocky mountain, overlook
ing the .one in front, with guns
sweeping toward the sea and toward
the beautiful bay of Rio de Janeiro.
The spot Is almost impregnable
from effective attack. Captain de
Fonseca. a son of the marshal, wax
