the great S. E. Mo. lead belt
are not as satisfactory as they
should be. The standard amount
Of labor demanded in 8 hours, of
each employee, is approximately
so per cent greater than former
ly, in other words, human en-
durance is taxed to it's capacity
much that was formerly done by
manual labor is now done by
machinery; modern processes
and methods of mining, concen-
trating and smelling have more
than doubled the former capac-
tiles in these processes; and
the transportation costs have
been greatly reduced; yet, wages
remain at practically the old
scale prior to these improve
ments.
The cost of living has advanc-
ed about so per cent, the pace
set by society is much advanced ;
the tax rate is higher, owing to
much internal improvement ;
building material is much high
er than formerly; LEASE
RENT has increased; in few
words, food, clothing and shell
ter have fully doubled in price.
How can the laborer keep pace
with these advances, clothe and
educate his children, and draw
a Nineteenth Century
ed-poverty-striking wage? We
heartily agree with Mr.. Robert
Holmes suggestion that pay
ment Of dividends be suspended
if necessary to enable laborers
to live comfortably.

program were G. B. Denman, Joe

Smollinger, Mrs. Bert L. France,
Rev. w. E. Cocer, DR.. G. B. Per-
kins, Miss Shields of Carleton

the best of attention, and this
writer never experienced better
order than was shown through
out the entire program.
Many complimentary express
sions were INDUCED in with ref
erence to the new barn by the
speakers as well as the other
visitors, and on account of the
speaking inside the building
someone very appropriately
named the barn "The Unity
Auditorium" The boys (Messrs.
Julian Gordon, Abe and Jesse
SMITH of Pleasant Hill, who
kept the stand so nicely, turned
over $24.35 to Mr.. Chandler,
which will leave a few cents for
him to help bear the expense of
the occasion. Only one thing
happened to the regret Of all
and that was because none of
the speakers from a distance ar
rived. Scores shook hands with
Mr.. Chandler and congratulated
him because of the magnificent
barn he has erected, and many
declared they would build one
just like it.
This writer feels sure that he
expresses the unanimous thanks
of the immense crowd for the
privilege given them by Mr..
Chandler of having such an en-
ioyable time in his new barn.
May many other such gather
ings be held in the near future,
in order that we might get &C.
quainted; for as Mr.. Chandler
expressed it: eve might like

JUSTICE MARTINS COURT

VIM. Stout and Andrew Lang
ley were arraigned before JUS
tice of the Peace T. w. Martin
at Flat River Tuesday on a
charge of Robbery.
Stout entered a plea of guilty
and his punishment was assessed
at a $1,000 fine with trimmings.
In default of payment he was
committed to jail.
Langley entered a plea of not
guilty and upon trial was con-
victed and punishment fixed at
$1.00 and costs, which he failed
to pay and was also committed
to Jail.
Mr.. Schafer's efficient Deputy
Constable, Richardson, brought
them to the County Bastile last
Tuesday evening, where they
were incarcerated to cover fines
and costs.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1915-10-29

Several years ago when the
Old Central Mines were opened
near where Flat River now
stands, the lead ore was hauled
by wagons to Ste. Genevieve,
thence by boat to the st. Louis
smelters and markets, and sold
for from 2 to 3 cents per pound.
AT the present time it is worth
nearly twice this much. The
crudest methods Of mining were
in use, yet the operators made
money and paid the laborers a
living wage. And what applies
to one operator in original de-
velopment applies to others.
The embryo companies grew by
leaps and bounds, and finally be-
gan to assume gigantic proper
lions and to become opulent and
arrogant. So much so that, in
stead Of continuing to cultivate
and foster that harmony and
good will, which had existed be-
tween employers and employees,
they allowed a chasm to form
which was anything but a mu-
tual relationship.
AS a result dissension, resent
ment, envy and dissatisfaction
began to replace the former ami
cable relations, and walk-outs,
strikes and shut-downs made
their appearance on the horizon
Of the greatest lead mining dis
trict in the world.
With the increased price of
lead the operators failed to adj
vance wages in proportion, and
this was a further source of dis
contentment and became one of
the chief causes of contention.
Harmony, equity and good
will were sought and retained,
practically in their entirety, as
long as men Of the old school,
like +. P. Graves and G. B. Par
sons, held guiding hands over
the destinies of these growing
industries. They could not live
to reign forever; so, as they
were replaced, or fell by the way,
men of apparently a different at
titude assumed the places va
Gated, and to-day conditions in
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1915-10-29

Considering the volume of
business, the industrial invest
ment and the population of Flat
River, it is a wonder that the
inhabitants do not avail them
selves of the advantages of in
corporation. Dare say there
isn't another town in the State
of its size and wealth, which
does not enjoy the protection
and advantages of local city
government.
