EMPLOYE GETS FRESH
LIGHT ON DEvEL-
OPMENTS
Commends Noble Purposes of
Mr.. Holmes.

Holmes Circular to the stock
holders of the st. Joseph Lead
Co. has just reached me, and
think it is my duty as a laboring
man, to say something in behalf
of this noble man, who has the
laboring mans interest at heart.
The position that he took at the
Trustees meeting on October 8,
1914, at st. Louis, speaks for it.
self:
Curtailment of Production.
On Oct. 9, 1914, a special
meeting of the Trustees was
held in St. Louis for the purpose
of considering the reducing of
the output of the mines ON ac-
count of the low price Of lead
then prevailing. After discus
sion a resolution was offered re-
ducing the working time of the
men from six days to five days
per week. | considered that it
was not fair to cast the entire
burden on the working men in
view of the fact that the cost of
living was steadily increasing
and stated that / would be will
ing to vote for the resolution on
ly on condition that the salaries
of all the employees of the Co., in
Guiding the officers, be reduced
in proportion to the cut in time
for the men. The other directors
objected to this and | therefore
did not vote for the resolution.
The minutes of the meeting
when sent to me for approval did
not state the reason why l did
not vote in afvor of the resolu-
ton and at the next meeting,
held in Bonnie Terre on Novem-
Der 10th, although l requested
that my reason be inserted in
the minutes, all the other di-
rectors refused to grant my re-
quest and voted to let the min
utes stand as they were origin
ally drafted.
Mr.. Holmes, as | understand
it, was the only man, holding
great interest in the Doe Run
Lead Co., who seemed to appre-
ciate the great service rendered
by Mr.. f. P. Graves, which made
the Doe Run Lead Co. what it is
today. Anyone familiar with
knows that it was Mr..
Graves foresight and hard work
that made this one of the great
est mining companies in the
world; so much so that the pres
ldent, Mr.. Crane, can draw a sal
airy of $4,000. a year and ride
in a special car when visiting
this district, and other minor Of
ficials can draw from $4,000. to
$4,000. per year. In this con-
nection it is interesting to note
The treatment assigned to that
earnest friend of the laborer,
Mr.. F. P. Graves.
No doubt that Mr.. Holmes
owe and loyalty for the laboring
nan and Mr.. Graves, is respon-
'ible for him being put off of the
Board of Directors Of the st. Jo-
'eph Lead Co.; but / hope that
t will be only a short while till
dr. Holmes will be able to ac-
:omplish his purpose to bring
lbout better conditions for us
aboring men; as he seems to
appreciate that we laboring men
owe our wives and our children
IS much so as these officials
rawing those handsome sal
ries.

cause Of the absence of detailed infor-
nation. It must be esta blished author

The attack on the Arabic came with
