JULY 12. If!

ONE KILLED AS TROOPS BATTLE MINE STRIKERS Gun Fight Staged in Dark; Railroad Bridge Is Dynamited. /.’;f / intr'l t’rrnn ATHENS. 0., July 12 A nigjit of rioting, incendiarism and dynamiting near Chauncey was climaxed early today by an open battle between striking miners and national guardsmen in which Ray Freeman, i 18, was shot to death. This was the second fatality in forty-eight hours. Steve Bowen, 40, of Buchtel, died in a local hospital of a bullet wound. A bridge on the Kanawha and Michigan railroad near Fisher's station was set on fire shortly after midnight. Coal oil had been used to stimulate the flames. Persons living near extinguished the fire before it got a good start. The New York Central railroad bridge over the Hocking river at Chauncey was wrecked by dynamite at 2 a. m. Officials estimated that 100 pounds of explosive was used. The roar could be heard in Athens, eight miles away. The battle in Chauncey, terrorizing residents who were awakened by the sharp cracking of rifle fire. Singly and in pairs,'armed men strode out of the hills surrounding Chauncey to gather in small groups on the street corners. The Bowen shooting had aroused high feeling. Pistol*, rifles and shotguns were carried in plain sight. Then about midnight there was a general concerted movement in the direction of the national guardsmen camp. Someone fired.

THEY TELL ME

TT looks very much as If proponents of public ownership of utilities are going to get some place in this special legislative session. Although a large number of “lame ducks” are present, there also is a sufficiently large group of legislators who will make the race in November to insure enactments which will give greater freedom'to municipalities in purchase and operation of utilities. In the past, sessions came after the election, and two years before the next, so that the assemblymen operated on the theory that the voters had forgotten their atitude on utility legislation by poll time. But the contrary is true this year. The special session is working a real hardship on the vote duckers, utility minded members and straddlers, because it truly can be said that they are ‘‘on the spot.” Fully cognizant of this situation, the Indiana Municipal Rights League has prepared for speedy introduction a number of bills which will enable a city to purchase a utility and redeem the bonds out of earnings and also remove these public properties from control and jurisdiction of the public service commission, whose records reveal that it consistently has been on the side of the corporations and against the citizens. HUH Besides that, the pendulum is swinging away from private ownership. Among other benefits, if such they can be called, occasioned by the economic depression, is an awakening of the citizens to ruthless gouging by privately owned corporations. Although utility men are attempting to point to the Insull debacle as the example of how the utilities are losing money, their allusion is incorrect. Insull failed, not because his earnings were not enough, but because the pyramiding of stock and bond issues w'hich grew' so large and top-heavy that the edifice toppled of its own weight. If his businesses had not been conducted for speculative purposes, a different story w'ouid be told, they tell me. nan Incidentally, reports of the Public Ownership League of America disclose that sixty-eight cities and towns which owm their utilities are not levying a local tax, according to Carl D. Thompson of Chicago, league secretary This may be the solution to financial and tax problems of Indiana municipalities. Roll calls on the bills enabling the people to owm and operate their necessary utilities will be of importance to every citizen in the state. Watch them and remember how your representatives and senators voted. This will show' the w'orth of the promises they will make in the campaign. Past performances, not promises, are the real gauge.
