Eight hundred workmen in the
smelter at Herculaneum went out on
the 18th inst. The cause for the
strike is for higher wages, and the
trouble is still unsettled. Those enor-
nous smelters are the property of
the st. Joseph Lead Co., which has
been using practically the same tao
tics there as they have been using
with the workmen in their mines in
this county. They had put the men
there on the bonus plan while lead
was soaring, and such bonuses had
been added until the workmen were
receiving practically the same wage
they are now demanding, though it
was no more than they were entitled
to, when the constant upward trend
of necessities of life is taken into con-
sideration.
But when the price of lead began
to fall somewhat, no attention was
paid to the bonuses in reducing the
wage scale. They did not lop them
off one at time, in the manner in
which they had been added. The
smelling company apparently is for
getful of the bonus plan when it
comes to reducing wages. 1t is then
they employ a two-edged blade, by
cutting off not only all the bonuses,
but often cutting into the original
wage scale of their employees, as they
did in this case. At one stroke they
amputated the wages of employees
cutting off their rations below the
belt line. This was more than the
workmen could stand, and it seems
they were justified in going out, il
such move is ever justifiable, and SO
long as the government fails to take
hand in troubles of this kind, there
appears TO be no other way of rem
edying the evil of heavy work and
small rations.
Soldiers are now on guard there to
protect the property of the smelling
company. To many people, especial
ly here in st. Francois county where
soldiers have been for months guard
ing the mining properties, there is a
growing interrogation point as to
whether or not there is absolute just
ice in properties being guarded by
government troops when the owners
of such properties are unwilling to
pay their workmen fair and honest
wage, even though their product is
not soaring as it has been for the past
year. Lead prices are still sufficiently
high to justify fair wages to the
workmen, and if there ever was a
time when it is advisable to have con-
tented and satisfied workmen, that
time is now. The Times has been in
formed that wages there run from
$2.70 to $4.O0 day. The latter fig
ure is, of. course, for skilled work

Strong Man
For the Place

Prosecuting Attorney Hicks, of Ste.
Genevieve county, has rendered his
resignation of that position, said res
ignation having been forwarded to
Governor Gardner. Strong endorse
ment by the bar and the citizens gen.
orally of Ste. Genevieve county have
also been forwarded to the Governor
asking for the appointment of C. j.
Stanton, of Ste. Genevieve, for the
unexpired term, which appointment
has perhaps already been made.
The Times is informed that Mr..
Stanton's hosts of friends are using
every possible endeavor to persuade
him to accept the Democratic nomi-
nation for Prosecuting Attorney. The
assurance also comes that if Mr.. STAN
ton will accept the nomination, the
Republicans will refuse to put out a
candidate against him, so popular is
he in his own home county. AS po-
litical Office is usually considered,
Stanton is an unusually big man for
Prosecuting Attorney. Yet there is
abundant opportunity for the display
of splendid ability even in the Office
of public prosecutor. Congratulations
will be due Ste. Genevieve should G..
J. Stanton conclude to accept the NOM
ination for that position.

Large Realty
Holdings Sold
and is an invitation to
renew your subscription

Lang & Bros, Of this city, last week
disposed of their large real estate
holdings in Mississippi county, near
Charleston. The deal was consumat-
ed last week by which two sections Of
land was turned over by Lang Bros.
for 500 an acre, totalling $128,000.
This deal was consumated by J. B.
Burks, brother-in-law of the former
owners of the land, who for the past
several years has been in personal
charge Of this great farm.
To Mr.. Burks, who was formerly a
popular citizen of this city, much
credit is due for building up this farm
until it is worth the big money which
he recently secured for it. Lang
Bros. purchased this land a number
of years ago, at a very low price in
comparison, to the splendid figure
which they have obtained for it, and
are entitled to the congratulations of
their many friends. The Times hopes
this community will be the gamer
from this transaction in another re-
spect-that Mr.. Burks will return
here with his family to make their
future home. He is real progress
sive citizen, just the kind of men this
community needs.

800 Go Out On Strike at Herculaneum.
Try Sliding Schedule for Better Results

men. Do you think that is sufficient
to sustain even an averaged sized fam
lily in comfort and have anything left
for the doctor, an occasional War
Saving Stamp, and other little ex-
tras that are continually arising? If
you think so, then you should have
your receipt patented and live in
peace and plenty ever after.
The more The Times has seen Of
this bonus plan, the less it has been
impressed with its truth or fairness.
A rather close inspection of it gives
this paper the impression that it is
a somewhat refined hold-up--a tick
ling Of the ribs and picking the pocket
movement--which leaves the victim
apparently somewhat pleased, while
at the same time he has been in a
measure buncoed, though for the life
of him he cannot see just how it was
done. But when the reducing" pro-
cess takes place, and when dollar or
more is suddenly cut from his pay,
then it is that at least slight under
standing of such a system seeps into
his brain. The Times had thought
that the day had long since passed
when workmen could thus be "bam-
boozled" by their employers, but it
seems not so--not entirely so. Amer
ican workers in those smelters, both
white and black, are loyal American
citizens, many of whom have already
gone to uphold the honor and integ-
rity Of their country. Those who re-
main should be permitted to engage
in the honest work, as well as enjoy
the honest wages of loyal American
citizens. This privilege should be ex-
tended to them, even though assist
ance of the Federal government may
have to be secured in order to bring
about such a condition of affairs.
Again is The Times going to Of
fer to the st. Joseph Mining and
Smelter Co. the same solution it has
heretofore offered to the mining
company during their troubles in St.
Francois county. The solution is the
sliding wage schedule. This plan is
no longer an experiment. 1t has been
repeatedly tried out, and invariably
has been successful. 1t will satisfy
the workmen, and it will also protect
the operators, insuring them at least
fair profit on their investment. 1t
will also insure fair and honest treat
ment to the workmen. But it is now
high time that operators who will OBJ
ject to such plan were changing
their line of business. The apparent
greed that has characterized that
company in the past must give way
speedily to a more fair and honest
management if that organization is
to escape "a whirlwind of wrath" in
the future.

PASS THROUGH FARMINGTON

DR.. W. A. Tarr, professor of ge-
ology in the University of Missouri
at Columbia, with five graduate stu
dents in geology, spent Wednesday
night in Pennington at the st. Fran
co.'s Hotel. The party is out on a
several days trip through Southeast
Missouri making geological study
of the mining regions in this part of
the country. The party had visited
or will visit Flat River, Frederick
town, Mine La Motto, Mineral Point,
Potosi and Crystal City.
According to DR.. Tarr the south
eastern part of Missouri, the region
around Farmington and the Lead
Belt, has the largest variety of rocks
and minerals of any part of the Unit
ed States of which to make a geologi-
cal study. This section contains lead,
copper, baryte, better known as tiff,
and many other minerals. Although
the mountains in the Western part Of
the United States are rich with ore
deposits, the southeastern part Of
Missouri has the greatest variety of
minerals within radius of few
miles. Thus the University of Mis-
souri, has access to the greatest field
for geological study of any State
University in the United States.
Following are the names of those
on the trip: DR.. w. A. Tarr, E. o.
G. P. Moore, Vincent w.
Vandiver and @. d. Stephenson.

USUAL TAX LEVY FOR
PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The Board of Education of the
Pennington public schools desires to
call attention of the taxpayers of the
district that the levy asked for school
purposes for the ensuing year is
again 81 on the $100 valuation, as
heretofore. At this time, we do not
know what the valuation of the tax
able property will be, due to the fact
that the State Board of Equalization
has not yet passed upon the valua-
tions as fixed by the County Assess
or, and so for the purpose of avoid
ing the expense of special election,
which is approximately $50, we de-
cided to submit the usual levy. If it
finally appears that the valuations in
this district are materially increased,
the Board will then levy only suf-
ficient sum to meet the necessities of
the school. The Board has the right
to levy less sum than the author
lied levy.
1t is the judgment of the Board
that if the valuations, as fixed by the
County Assessor stand, levy of
about 70 cents for school purposes
will be sufficient, but owing to the
circumstances as stated above, we
thought best to submit the usual levy,
believing that you will at once see
and approve our course in this mat
ter. respectfully submitted,
BOARD OF EDUCATION.

More Suggestions

Two unnecessary evils, which ought
to be abated in Pennington are yip-
ping, yelping dogs which pursue au-
tomobiles through the principal
streets, and the thoughtless young
sters who mistake the sidewalks for
skating rink. One sees these Wig
liant dogs posted at points of vantage
downtown, ready to spring out and
bark at the occupants of passing gas
oline craft, and while it doesn't hurt
the cars, it raises an unholy din
throughout the day which is painful
to sensitive nerves. And the kiddies
often menace the safety of pedestrians
with their roller skates. We believe
there is city ordinance against roll
er skating and bicycle riding on the
but of course the city mar
shall can't be everywhere at once.
The cooperation of the parents
should be enlisted to keep their chill
dren off the sidewalks with roller
skates, and certainly the principal
business thoroughfares are no place
for fool dog that insists upon rails
ing a rumpus every time an innocent
little Ford passes by. We are firm
friends of both dogs and children. We
believe in giving both of them all pos
sible liberties, and believe both de-
serve the best there is going. But
dodging the frolicsome assaults of
tie one, and fleeing the ear-splitting
of the other, is too much for
the average citizen to put up with,
even from his best friends--the dogs
and the kiddies.

Splendid Showing
of Young Men, Club

A year ago, when America entered
the war, the membership of the
Young Mems Club of Pennington
numbered just forty-five names. To
day there are Is members--a full
third of the membership-actively in
service for Uncle Sam, in the various
branches Of the service. This splendid
record establishes, we believe, a mark
not equalled by any other organiza-
ton in st. Francois county for num-
ber of members actively in service.
The Club this week is putting up a
service flag in its club rooms to fitting
ly remember the boys who have en-
tered the service, and on it there is a
star for each of the following: Capt.
Alex. Wilson, Major Henry Davis,
Capt. Philip Pipkin, Lieuts. Patton,
Isenman, Rozier, Glenwood Pipkin,
Francisco, Lee Mitchell, Coleman,
Butterfield, and Privates Philip Cole,
Leslie Mitchell, Gene Mitchell, Har-
vey Halle, Burdine Grove, VIM. Cow
er and Paul Jones. The Club member
ship is proud Of this representation,
and indeed it is creditable showing
of the genuine American patriotism
which is willing to "do" as well as
talk about it. The Club, now 21 years
old, is carrying these members with
out dues, as fitting recognition and
is in a fourishing condition, going
ahead with its social purposes for the
enjoyment of it's members and their
friends. At the present time M. l..
Clardy is president, Yancey White
vice president. and Tom Mckinney,
Secretary.
