FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, February 16, 1911 TROUBLE IN THE LEAD BELT Between the American and foreign miners and with the companies is still brewing with no apparent prospect of early solution. At Leadwood early last Sunday morning four barns belonging to Hungarians in what is known as Hungarian town were dynamited and the shots shattered nearly all the windows in the foreign settlement. The dynamiting was doubtless done for the purpose of intimidating the foreign miners, and it seems to have had that effect, as a number of them are reported to have left that day. The officers could find no clue as to the persons engaged in the destructive work. The Doe Run Company has closed three of its shafts at Flat River. The whole situation is unfortunate for both the men and the companies, but we are not familiar enough with the conditions and the causes leading up to the trouble to express an opinion as to who is to blame. The violence that has so far taken place is not attributed to the better class of American miners, but to a reckless, irresponsible element that is found in nearly all mining districts.
