STRIKE AT BADGER.
BUFFERS AND POLISHERS AT LAMP
WORKS QUIT WORK.
they ASK FOR HIGHER WAGES
State Board of Arbitration aud Men Hold a
Conference With the Managers This
Afternoon-Statement of the
superintendent.

Kenosha seems at present to be
affected with an epidemic of strikes,
and Wednesday afternoon the forces of
the striking Sieg men were augmented
by the addition of twelve buffers and
two polishers employed at the Badger
brass manufacturing company. The
strike was not wholly unexpected, as
trouble has been brewing between the
men and the foremen and superintend-
ent for some time and the men quitting
yesterday was the result
Tie cause of the strike is reduction
in wages made some two weeks ago
strikers had all been employed on piece
work. On one of the pieces they had
been receiving 80 cents per hundred,
and Wednesday when one of the
buffers was ordered to do this work he
refused to do it for less than 40 cents
per hundred and this price being re-
fused all the polishers and buffers
walked out.
There is no Indication that the
strikers will be joined by any other
workmen in the factory, as the Polishers'
union is the only organization of labor
recognized in the factory. However,
the strikers hint that more unions are
being formed and that other employees
will go out in sympathy.
The men who walked out have as
yet made no statements beyond saying
that they have Just cause for making
their demands.
Mr.. Williams, superintendent of the
works, states that the present trouble
dates back to the time when the new
model lamp began to be made, and on
this article they made a cut in the price
of piece work. The men threatened to
strike at the time bus the superintend-
ent states that the head officers of the
union, Messrs. Ramsey, of Toledo,
Ohio, and White, of Chicago, came
here and decided that the men were
being treated fairly and no walk out
occurred. Mr.. Williams holds that the
men at these prices can earn from $2.5 80
to 1915 a day and he himself submits
the following as the average pay the
men have received during the last five
days:

MAYER MUST ANSWER.
Coroner's Jury Says He was Not Justified
In Killing D. E. Riley.

Joseph A. Mayer, of Pleasant Prairie,
who shot and killed Dennis E. Rile Z,
special agent for the Northwestern
railroad in Chicago, Wednesday night,
was held to await the action of the
grand jury yesterday afternoon. The
coroner's jury decided that he was not
justified in the shooting. The inquest
was held at the Chicago avenue station.
Neither Mayer nor W. G. Hawthorne,
who was one of the principal witnesses,
testified. William F. Riley, special
agent for the Northwestern railroad
and brother of the man who was shot,
identified the body.
William Murphy, a teamster, 48
Orleans street; William McGinnis, a
clerk employed by the railroad COM
pany, and the police were the only
witnesses.

the strikers held conference with
Superintendent Williams and President
Frost this afternoon, and they hope to
be able to settle the matter.
In the meantime work at the factory
has not been stopped and will not be
stopped. Several new buffers have
gone to work and Mr.. Williams states
that the factory can run right along
without the assistance of the strikers,
and that when they return they must
come as individuals as he will no longer
recognize the existence of the Union.
This is the first labor trouble that
the busy little factory has ever expe-
rienced, and it is to be hoped that it
can be settled without any serious
difficulty.

PASSES THE SENATE.
Bill to Aid the Kenosha Harbor Finds
Favor With Lawmakers.

Bill to Aid the Kenosha Harbor Finds
Favor With Lawmakers.
The first battle in the contest for tn
improvement of the Kenosha hal Dor
has been fought and won.
The bills presented by Representa-
tive Cooper, directing the secretary of
war to make surveys in the harbors of
Racine and Kenosha, to ascertain the
best methods by which injurious effects
of northeast storms and seas may be
prevented in those harbors, have been
passed by the house of representatives.
The bill provides that the survey may
take into consideration the necessity of
constructing breakwaters. The bills
were passed by the senate Wednesday
and now all that remains for the pre-
liminary work is the approval of
President Mckinley.
When the proper surveys and reports
have been made there is little doubt
but the committee on river and harbors
will be brought to see the necessity of
improvement and proper appropra
tions will be made.
A letter recently received from Con-
gresham Cooper says that the prospect
for the passage of bill for the i'm
provement of the harbors at Kenosha
and Racine are most fattering and the
City Council is urged to make some
arrangement to secure the Mygatt
property as soon as possible and con-
sistent.

SITUATION AT MANILA.
DEWEY HAS NOT ASKED FOR
ASSISTANCE.
Assures the Navy Department That
He is Able to Take Care of Any
Emergency That May Arise.

NEW YORK, Sept. IA special to
the Times from Washington says:
Despite the repeated denials of both
the Army and Navy Departments,
! many papers continue publishing dis
patches from this city stating that Ad-
miral Dewey is asking for help, and
that the Administration will send to his
assistance Immediately two battleships.
These reports are beginning to annoy
the department officials as well as the
President. There is no truth in them,
according to Assistant Secretaries AL
len and Meiklejohn.
Admiral Dewey has not asked for aid
at all at any time. He has, on the
other hand, repeatedly assured the
Navy Department that there is no
trouble to be feared in the Philippines,
and that he and his squadron are quite
able to take care of any emergency
that may arise. Assistant Secretary AL
len said to-day that there is absolute
ly no truth in the report that the de-
partment is contemplating sending bat
tleships or any ships at all to the Phil
ippines to aid the Admiral.
This department" he said, has re-
ceived but one dispatch from Dewey
for several days. That dispatch came
this morning, and gave us the startling
information that Dewey had discov-
cred that he could buy jerked beef in
Manila, and could thus save the trouble
and expense of a trip to Australia for
the purpose of getting some of this
food for his men. l think that if he
was expecting trouble he would have
said SO in the cablegram. We are con-
fident that he will communicate with
the Navy Department rather than a
casual newspaper correspondent in
Manila whenever he gets into trouble
and needs help from this Government.
The entire story is false
In conjunction with this story there
became current to-day another to the
effect that the Germans are lying
about the vicinity of Manila; that
Prince Heinrich and Admiral Diedrich
have not withdrawn their warships,
but are near by awaiting orders from
the Kaiser as to the Philippines, or as
much of the archipelago as the Iron
Fist can grasp. 1t was also reported
that Dewey had advised this Govern
ment that he expects trouble from the
Germans and has appealed for assist
ance. This, too, is strenuously denied
by both the War and Navy Depart
ments, and the State Department has
received no query at all from the hero
of Manila. 1t communicates with him
either through the Navy or War De-
partment.
The story originated here and the
navy officials have grown tired denying
it daily in morning and afternoon
papers.
One reason for the confidence felt by
the War Department officials. in
peaceable solution of the difficulties is
their knowledge of the peculiar fitness
of General Otis, the American COM
mander, for the discharge of just such
duties-diplomatic as we'll as military
as now confronts him. The officials
are confident that if by discretion and
judgment a clash with the insurgents
can be averted without losing any of
our advantages, General Otis may be
safely trusted to exhibit these quali-
ties.

ADJUSTMENTS.

There was a full house at the Or
pheum last night to see the veGiscopic
reproduction of the Corbett- FitZsim-
mons contest. Among the spectators
were many ladies. 1t is a very inter-
esting and exciting exhibition. The
pictures are life size and are accurate
reproductions of the entire scene in the
ring, from the entry of the officials to
the end of the contest and the triumph
of Fitzsimmons. w. R. Wheelock ex
planned the pictures, round by round.
Mr.. Wheelock's remarks are entertain
ing and add much to the show, but
his Introductory speech is altogether
too long, and the audience by mani
fest impatience gave him so to under
stand. In one respect the exhibition
is especially interesting as showing the
remarkable advance that has been
made in instantaneous photography,
and the wonderful strides which have
been made in reproducing by the aid
of the stereoscope Photographic views
immensely enlarged and with such ra-
pidity as to produce a stereoscopic
illusion. That last nights audience
thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment
is beyond question, as it's manifesto

constant. As the contest proceeded the
interest of the audience increased, un-
til 1T grew to a degree of excitement
up to the delivery of the celebrated
solar plexus blow that decided the
fight, when the defeated athlete strug-
gled to the ropes and endeavored to
raise himself to a renewal of the con-
test but failed and was counted out,
whereupon he breaks away from his
seconds and ruSheS upon FitZSim-
mons, who is taken unawares and is
forced to the ropes and struck several
times before the maddened Corbett can
be secured. Mr.. Wheelock, the lecturer,
was asked a number of questions by
spectators and courteously responded
with explanations in each instance The
entertainment was a decided success
throughout. 1t will be repeated to-
night.
