From the Flat River News: "There
has been but little change in the labor
situation here during the past few
days. The different shifts are work.
ing about half time. but NO new men
are being employed. One thing that
has seriously handicapped oil efforts
toward an amicabls adjustment has
been the lack OF organization ON the
part OF the men. This feature, how
ever, Is now showing some indication
of clearing up. Committees Of the
employees of at least two companies
have made q careful canvass Of the
situation at all Of the shafts operated
by these companies, and have report
ed that the men are unanimous in
agreeing that the foreigners be per-
mitted to work az shOvelers. Reports
from lockwood, Bonnie Terre and
Desloge indicate that there is no long
or any trouble there. so far az can be
judged from outward appearances.
At St. Francois, the st. Louis Smelt-
ing & Refining Company has some
foreigners at work underground. No
foreigners are working at Flat River
or Elvins."

The average automobile crash o,
overturn is mildly called an "acci
dent" 1t is generally nothing of tn
kind--it il an incident to reckless, fas
I driving, wholly i%nexcusable and repre-
hensible. To the careful, law observ
ing driver it is not danger attending

" threatens: the menac comes fror

t nores the precautions necessary t
the safety not only of himself but {
Q those who are at the mercy of hi
recklessness-and smartness. In tn

of the store, a check for SIS, drawn
y. the Home Bank Of GreensDurg, Ka

cd right and Evans finally let him ha
