THOUSANDS OF FOREIGN-BORN
WORKERS LEAVE LEAD BELT
DISTRICT NEAR FLAT
RIVER.
FUGITIVE DRIVEN FROM
HOMES BY NATIVE MINERS
No Mob Violence Occurs, Though
Feared by Refueees-Two Arrests
Made on Charges of PiIIaging.
Many of Victims Destitute
in Hills.

Flat River, Mo-, July 16.-The pres
ence Of Missouri National guardsmen
in the Lead Belt near Flat River, did
not prevent the continued exodus Of
foreign-born miners who have since
been driven out Of this district by
American-born miners. It is estimated
that more than 1000 foreign-born per-
sons have left the district.
No Mob Violence.
Just where they have gone is not
definitely known here, though several
carloads of refugees have started to-
wards st. Louis, while others have
gone in a generally northern direction.
Some, fearing violence, did not wait for
trains, but trudged into the surround
ing hill country, where they made tenn
porary camps. No mob violence oc-
cured, nor did the American miners
gather in any threatening large num-
bers.
Attempts to Confer Futile.
Unsuccessful efforts were made to
bring about a conference between the
American miners and the mine man.
for the mines. Superintendent of sew
eral companies, however, held a con-
ference at Bonnie Tere, near here.
They declared that some help must be
had at once or the output of the mines
will be seriously curtailed. They did
not decide to replace the departing
miners with other foreigners, but con-
Guided to leave the question of foreign
employment to the company officials.
Women Depart on Foot.
Weary mothers, carrying babies, with
older children trudging along in the
dust, lined almost every road out of
town. They were going to join their
husbands, but many of them did not
know just where to go. Trains were
boarded at every town in the district
by entire families of refugees.
The railway platforms were piled
high with chairs, bundles and other
belongings. Many refugees, destitute
of the necessities of life, were camped
in the woods.
Reports of PiIIaqe Continue.
Reports of pillage continued to come
in. Two men were arrested on a charge
of breaking into a vacated house and
carrying concealed weapons.
Major William Stepp, in command of
the troops here, warned Sheriff Adams
that he expected all prisoners turned
over to civil authorities by the mill
tary forces to be held for prosecution.
Tom Matthews, prosecuting attorney,
told reporter he feared withdrawal
of the troops would be followed by
another outbreak against foreigners.
