To Hon. O. M. Petit,

Dear Sir-We hereby demand from
you, as chief executive of the city of
Kenosha, sufficient police protection to
enable Us to carry on our usual bust
ness. Nearly all of our employees are
on strike and we are threatened with
violence, if we attempt to carry on our
business in the usual manner.
At noon today Mr.. Thomas Donley,
while in our employ, was threatened by
one of the strikers at the front door Of
our Office that in case Mr.. Donley at
tempted to come to work tomorrow, he
would be made to suffer great bodily
harm. This striker, whose name is
Charles CARMEL, then said, we (mean-
ING the crowd of strikers with him) are
sent here with orders TO see that none
OF the bosses or Office help come in here
tomorrow. If you fellows save the
hides Charlie Allen don't want US. If
they rot Charlie Allen settle quick"
Another of our employees, Mr.. Henry
Karpen, while on his way to work this
morning, was stopped by crowd OF
strikers and told If he did not stop
work his head would be split open.
At about 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon load of leather was stopped in
front of the lodge rooms of the strikers
and the teamster, Dennis Kelley, was
told by striker, Mr.. Herman by name
not to haul any more. Mr.. Kelley
promised he would only haul the one
load.
At about 9 o'clock this morning, one
of our employees, Mr.. Milbreth, was
prevented by a large crowd of strikers
from entering our shops, and was driv'
en- away from the west entrance of oul
shop " B, " and it was only after great
difficulty that we succeeded by the aiG
of two of our Office help in getting this
man into our shop through the office
J entrance.
We have been refused ice by the
dealers of this city and informed by the
strikers if ice comes from out of town
that no live man shall haul it from the
depot. We are in urgent need of ice to
keep our hides from rotting in the watts.
We demand of you to keep crowds
of men aud boys from the sidewalks
about our premises and crowds OF
strikers from gathering at other points
in the city, particularly at the depot
grounds Of the G.. & n. W. R. w, and
offer us protection to move our teams
