BAPTIST ASSO-
CITATION IN SESSION HERE

The Eighty-Seventh Annual Ses-
sion Of the Franklin Baptist Associa-
tion convened with the Pennington
Baptist church on Thursday morning,
August 21st.
At the opening of the first session
over one hundred delegates and visit
ors had registered. There are 28
churches in the association and prac-
tically all of them will be represented.
T. E. Gideon of Doe Run was elect
ed moderator of the Association for
the fourteenth time. w. L. Bouchard,
Editor of the Desloge Sun, was re-
elected Secretary, and Rev. W. j..
Bays, DR.. G. E. Kennedy and DR.. Mil
ford Riggs were appointed Reading
Clerks.
Immediately after the devotional ex-
ercises, which were conducted by DR..
Riggs, and the election of officers,
the Association at once launched into
the routine business of the meeting
and began considering the reports and
letters from the various churches.
At the eleven o'clock hour the in
troductory sermon was preached by
Rev. T. r. White of Leadwood. This
was soul-stirring sermon and put
the Association into an earnest and
enthusiastic spirit for a great work in
the local field.

Sec. of Women's Work in the St.
Louis District, was on the ground ear

Labor Situation
Still Unsettled

The labor situation in the Lead Belt
continues practically unchanged, at
least insofar as outward appearances
indicate. The strike order has not
yet gone into effect, and there ap-
pears to be some reason for hope that
the trouble will come to head with
out that necessity. There are rumors
to the effect that the Federal Lead
Co. will open UP all their shafts, on
full time about September LIST, and
there are also other reports that
would indicate that the chances are
improving for the employers and en-
ployees coming to an equitable under
standing.
1t has long been known that the
management of the Doe Run Co. has
been principally to blame for bring
ing about the strained situation that
has long been in existence throughout
that district, and for this the local
manager, c. J. Adami, has been Sc
verely blamed. But The Times desires
to be fair in all things. Therefore,
we would remind our reads that Mr..
Adami is only hired man, similar to
the thousands of other wage earners
in that field, and that he was only do
ing the bidding of his superiors when
he has taken drastic steps, at differ
ent times, the radicalism of which has
aroused deepest hatred among the
workers and their friends. The facts
are that the one man who is princi-
pally to blame for all the trouble in
the Lead Belt is none other than
President Crane, Of the Doe Run Lead
Co. Any action taken by anyone else
connected with that company must
first have his approval. Let the blame
and censure rest where they belong.

Auto Snash-Up

Tuesday afternoon an auto smash
up occurred in front of the Farmers
Bank in this city. The ear belonging
to l.. H. Williams, cashier of that in
stitution, WHY'S 6, was standing in
front of the bank, when Chevrolet,
driven by Nj. Cain, of st. Louis, in
attempting to pass, crushed into it
from the rear with sufficient force to
drive it forward several yards.
None of the occupants of the Chev-
rolet were injured, though both the
CARS were somewhat damaged, the
WHY'S being the more seriously hurt.
Mr.. Cain was visiting his folks at
Iron Mountain, and in turning the
traffic post at the corner, he evident
ly lost control of his car temporarily,
but his car went wild sufficiently long
to cause this disastrous smash.

JEFFERSON CLARK
A sketch of the life of a native of
Glover, as given in memorial folder.
The sudden death of jefferson
Clark caused a shock to a large circle
of friends. On Saturday, December
IA, 1918, having transacted business
in his law office in the earlier part of
the day, he called in the afternoon
at the University club of New York,
of which he was a member. He there
met some friends with whom he con-
versed, and while so engaged, with
out warning to his friends and APP
parently without warning to himself,
he fell and expired.
Mr. Clark was born in Glover, Yer
mont, October 3, 1886. He was grad
uated from Amherst college in 1867,
where he was a member of the col
lege society of Alpha Delta Phi. Sub
sequently he pursued a course in Co
lumbia College Law school. He be-
gan the practice of law in Washing
ton, D. c., remaining only one year
when he removed to New York, where
he maintained a law office until his
death In the early part of his prac-
tice in New York he was associated
with Sanford H. Steele for two years
under the name of Steele and Clark
and later with Edwin w. Sanborr
for seven years under the name OF
Clark and Sanborn.

ANOTHER ATTACK ON TROLLEY WORKER

in a dazed sort of a way. All Mucken- strom, who was without his coat and hat, would say was that they got h1m good. MuckenstrOm was taken to Franklin square and later to Backus hospital where he was attended. It was found that his injuries were su- perhcial, consisting of bruises about the face and body. with one mark on his body that appeared to have been made by club or heavy shoe.
 There was one passenger on the car who got on at YantiC. but he stated that he did not see who rang the bell for the car to go ahead. It is thought by the police that some persons had been lying in wait for Muckenstrom and when he got off and had set the signals they attacked him and one Of the party then Jumped on the car and gave the starting signals. thus leaving Muckenstrom at their mercy.
 Muckenstrom at the hospital early Thursday morning stated to the police that he knew nothing of the natter after he set the signals ard his first reco4ections are when he came to him self in cornfielo beside the railroad tracks some distance from the cross ing. He was minus his coat and his money and register. He says he does not know how many were in the party that attacked him and does not re- member anything that took place be- tween the time he set the signal and when he found himself in the cornfield
 Seven police officers were sent to the place and searched the country but could find nothing and no trace of the coat or register. A number of the Shore Line employees went to the scene in a special car but returned about 24a o'clock this morning without frh- ing any clue that would lead to the identifica ton of the guilty parties
 Special officers were olaced on all the cars on RedneSdav nd the force will be increa sed to afford protection The police will leave no stone un- turned to apprehend the parties and to put stop to these outrages.
Norwich bulletin., 1919-09-04

The second outrage within 24 hours against the employees of the Shore Line electric road was committed about Il o'clock on Wednesday evening when John Muckenstrom of Franklin, con- ductor the trolley that left Yantic at II o'clock. was severely beaten when he left his car at the Central Vermont crossing below Yantic to set the sema phore signals before his car crossed the track.
 John Bailey of Portland. Me. was motorman of the car at the time and claims that he knew nothing of the affair until he found the conductor gone several minutes later. Bailey states that after leaving Yantic at II o'clock he made the stop at the cross ing to allow Mucken strom to set the signals. He saw Muckenstrom throw the signals and he took his car across the steam tracks. where he brought it to a stop to wait for the conductor. As usual he received two bells to go ahead, and he started his car. sup posing the conductor was aboard. A short distance from the crossing he made another stop for woman to get on, but this time received no signal to go ahead. Thinking it strange. he and Special Officer F. J. Martin. who was in the car near the front vestibule. went to the rear platform to investi gate. They could not find Mucken- strom so went back to the crossing to look for him, but could find no trace of the missing conductor. although they searched the racks for some distance, and also the tra cis of the Central Vermont road. They then returned to their car and went as far as the hos pital switch. where they met the last car for 4antic- and went back to the crossing with lights to make a more thorough search.
 When they arrived at the crossing Martin and several others went up the railroad track toward the Yantic bridge. and when half way from the crossing to the bridge they met Muck enstrom walking toward the crossing
