cradle of that restful feeling that a
laborer is supposed to enjoy, espec-
tally during his hours off duty. But
that is not all.
Many of those American boys are
subject to the army draft, and a
large number Of them will doubtless
soon be called to the colors, to de-
fend this country against the en-
croachments of the very country from
which many of these same foreigners
in the Lead Belt come-Austria-H Hun
gary, While those American boys
might be fighting under the Stars and
Stripes, on foreign soil, these same
foreigners might be not only draw
ing wages for what they were doing
until called to the colors, but also
it is possible-might be desecrating
their homes, robbing and numbering.
That many of the foreigners who
were until recently in the Lead Belt
have very little idea of the commonest
properties can hardly distinguish
right from wrong often-there can be
no doubt among those who know them
best. That they also quite frequently
become very "chesty" over the pros
porous times the Lead Belt has af-
forded them, will also be admitted.
Then it does not require the aid of
much of a student of human nature
to see that the homes and families of
all Americans who should remain in
! that district, after the foreign ele-
ment became overpowering, could in
any way be secure from such species
! of humanity-especially when it be-
came somewhat mixed with alcoholic
beverages.
And in this connection we will state
that while the Lead Belt is supposed
to be "dry" territory, the militia that
was sent there to preserve order II

Flat River, which had been given ovei
to the foreigners, found many barrels

This may, or may not, prove agar

about their work in a business-like
manner, indicating competent and in
telligent leadership. That such a
large gathering of outraged and indig-
nant men could work all through the
night, without being overcome by
their lascerated feelings and doing
things that were not on the original
program to be carried out, is certain
ly ample refutation of the charge that
it was a "nob" at work in Flat River
last Friday night. That they must
hayeF been thoroughly composed and
masters of themselves, their work
Seems to clearly indicate.
A few of the facts that the Ameri-
can miners were up against, briefly
told, were that none of them were per-.
mitted to feel that their jobs were se-
cure, especially SO long as foreigners
continued to head that way. Many
of these men are married, and have
families depending upon them, 50

Bonne Terre Not
Yet Incorporated

Francis A. Renham appeared before
the County Court Monday morning,
representing large number Of petit
TONERS of Bonnie Terre, and asked that
the recent approval of the Court in
the Incorporation of that place as
city of the fourth class, be declared
void. Attorney Benham presented
what appeared to be strong argument
bearing out his contention that fur
ther argument should be heard before
such incorporation be approved, and
stated that the petitioners, among
whom were many of the leading cit
izens of Bonne Terre, had right to
be heard.
This remonstrance originated large
ly in the fact that the petitioners, as
well as the inhabitants of that place
in general, so it is claimed, are OPP
posed to the commission form of gov
ernment, as is provided for in the
original papers, which were by the
Court approved last week. 1t is said
that an overwhelming percentage of
the citizenship of Bonne Terre favor
a municipal government, as they be-
lieve that will enable them to free
themselves from the domination of the
St. Joseph Lead Company, which has
been, from the very beginning of that
settlement, in practical control of
that place. 1t is claimed that all
they want is real government, in
which all will have a chance to par
ticipate.
1t is also claimed that under a COM
mission form of government the Lead
Company will be able to continue con-
troll of that city, just as they have al
ways done in the past. The argument
produced in favor Of the latter posi-
tion seems to make an impress on the
Court, and they fixed next Monday,
July 23rd, as the date for going more
deeply into the matter and deciding
the proposition permanently.

American Miners Goaded to Desperation Under Trying Con-
ditions Clear the Lead Belt of the Bone of Contention

BILE was all practically over before the
troops arrived. The American min
ers had things practically in their
own hands, and were working to the
single end-of ridding the mining dis
trict of all foreign miners, without
personal injury to anyone. If it was
really a "mob", then it was the best
ordered mob we ever heard of. The
slight outbreak there Tuesday night,
between the militia and miners, is
another demonstration of the fact
that the militia is accomplishing no
real good there.
1t seems that there was grave
misrepresentation of the real condi-
tions which obtained in the Lead
Belt during the recent trouble, when
the State, and even governmental au-
thorities, seek to interfere to restrain
this forced exodus of foreigners from
that district. If America is for
! Americans first, if those American
miners are subject to army draft,
while the foreigners are immune from
such service, surely those same aliens
should not be given the choice of posi-
tions in those great mining plants
that hold government contracts to
supply war munitions to be used
against the countries from which
many of those same aliens come.
The following story of the mining
trouble in the Lead Belt appeared in
Sundays Globe-Democrat, which
treats of the matter quite fully and
fairly, as it appeared up to that time.
There are few errors in this, but on
the whole it is substantially correct:
The arrival of Cavalry Troop B and
Battery A from st. Louis tonight fol-
lowed day of man-hunting by mob
of 1000 of armed men, whose purpose
was to drive out of this lead mining
district every foreign-born worker
and his family. During the afternoon
two men were shot, but not fatally,
One was hit in the face and neck with
la charge of buckshot, and the other

Lucky Jack Starts

The Lucky Jack mines, in the Mi
ami mineral fields, actually began op-
erations Saturday, and several large
stockholders from Pennington were
on the ground to witness the start.
Among them were Rev. H. P. Grove,
Congressman W. L. Hensley, Geo. X.
and Naive Williams. This mine open
ed with as bright prospects for great
and steady yield of rich mineral as
any of the mines that have hereto
fore been opened in that entire dis
trict.
The Lucky Jack Mining Co. has one
of the best mills in the entire district,
and prospecting that has been done
on their claim indicates that this COM
pany will soon be grinding out tons
of the richest mineral.

A great hullabaloo went up from
the Lead Belt Friday night when sew
eral hundred American miners, en-
ployes of the different mines in that
district, banded themselves together
with the announced purpose of run
ming all foreign miners out of the
Lead Belt. This conclusion had been
reached in view of the alleged dis
elimination on the part of the mine
operators. in favor of the foreigners.
That there had often been such
discrimination has been frequently
charged, and we have never heard it
denied. In fact, that very day, at one
of the mines,. several Americans had
been discharged and their places filed
with an equal number of foreigners.
1t has long been generally accepted
idea throughout the Lead Belt that
no foreigner need be idle in that dis
trict. and the fact is that they never
are. providing only that they care to
work.
This gathering of miners went
