Of David Peers is taken from q St

will continue to live on and on among

BIC WAGE INCREASE FOR ST.
JOE LEAD co. EMPLOYEES

A Washington dispatch, under date
of Aug. 7th, says the establishment of
minimum wage and a system of
collective bargaining for employer and
employees, together with a general in
crease in wages, feature the decision
of the wsr labor board in the case Of
the. st, Joe Co., of Missouri, made
public today. The company produces
one-ninih of all lead mined in the
country
Partly because of the low wages
paid, the board found, the efficiency
of the plant had suffered from an
enormous labor turn over, sometimes
as high as 200 per cent per annuaa.
from S3 1-3 per cent for the SO men,
down to 10 per cent for the SIS men.
This splendid raise is exactly as it
should be. The idea that the laboring
man, the real producer of wealth,
must not, only keep himself, but sus-
tain his wife and little ones in "hand
to mouth existence, is now rapidly
giving way to an improved end hu-
mane method, of permitting tic real
producer to share with capital--so
often the drone-his just SHIRE of The
profits.
The present war is having n marked
influence in bringing the people in
general to more correct understand
ing of the true conditions that should
exist between capital and labor. The
above decision does not reach far
enough, however. 1t shoRh have in
cluded not only all laborerS in the
smelter, but all miners throughout the
Lead Belt. How much better it would
be if the workmen throughout that
field, and all other fields, were award
ed their just deserts even before they
force tor even ask it.

ENJOY A GOOD TINE

Mrs.. Albert Wulfert and Miss Villa
Horn chaperoned rollicking group of
boys and girls to the Blomcycr ford
at the st. Francois river Wednesday
evening at which place they enjoyed
a delicious supper and had general
good time. After enjoying the afore-
said delicious lunch several games
and contests were played. Two of the
contests were the pie contest and
fried chicken contest. AS usual, when
any contest in the line of "eats" comes
up, the boys won out. 1t is said that
the boys who won the different con-
test (eating, of course) would have
put any negro eating watermelon SO
"'far IN the shade" that III would have
been embarrassing. Indeed, we were
informed that their mothers would
have been ashamed of them. All Of
them showed great capacity but one
Shaw (Babe) Ballard and Hugh Price
(Bill) Grove showed greater capacity
than any and walked away with the
pie and chicken contests, respectively.
1t is said of Babe and Bill, and We
mean no harm when we say it, that
they have the capacity of a camel
with its seven stomachs. Whether is
is true or not we cannot say, but We
heard Babe devoured eight and one
half pies and Bill slowed away the
greater part of three fried chickens.
We say, go to it, boys, it will make
you grow.
