MachinstS Are Returning to Work in
the Different Factories as
Rapidly as Possible.
LITTLE CHANGE FOR LABOR.
Men Secure the Nine Hour Day With Nine
Hour Pay, But They May be Forced to
Return to Ten Hour Schedule.

With the exception of few scatter
ing men all the mdchinists who went
out on a strike some three months ago
in Kenosha in answer to the general
call Of the machinist's association will
have returned to work by tomorrow
evening. The strike, so far as Keno
sha is concerned, has been declared Oft
and the men are hurrying back to work
as fast as places are offered. AT the
Badger Brass works, the Simmons fac
tory, the Jefferiesifactory and the Chi
cago-Rockford Hosiery works most OF
the men returned to work this morning
and the remaining idle men will return
to their benches tomorrow morning.
The strike has been an unsatisfac-
tory one as far as the r1achir1sts have
been concerned, for with the exception
of Wells & Messier not a single Keno
sha factory has acceded to the demands
of the strikers. At the Badger the men
return to work with the sole concession
of a ffty-four hour week for the sum-
mer season. The'pay will be for nine
hours work. However, with the COM
ing of the winter season the employees
of the factory will have the right to
decide whether the work shall be nine
or ten hours daily and the majority
will rule. In any case the machinists
will receive the sameEsca1e of wages
per hour working either nine or ten
hours. At the Simmons factory the
same conditions will prevail. Mr..
Simmons states that if the men in his
employ have but nine hours Of work
for sale he will purchase this amount
of work at wages for nine hours.
None of the strikers returned to work
at the Chicago Brass works, this COM
pany refusing to accept the men. They
have removed their tools from the
shops and will seek employment else
where. It is stated that a number of
them will be employed by c. H. Keller
man in Chicago.
Most of the men seem to be pleased
at their return to work. After so long
an enforced idIeness the men expect to
work for several months to regain
what has been lost on account Of the
strike. With the return of the men to
the other factories, it is possible that
the agreement of Wells s. Messier with
the Machinist's Association will be de-
c1ared null and void and the men will
remain at work at the old rates which
prevailed before the big strike was in
augurated.

BILL OF EXCEPTIONS FILED.
Railway Company Appeal the Injunction
Case to the Supreme Court.

The bill of exceptions to the rulings
of Judge Fish on the different phases
of the suit of Mary Hale Allen VS.. the
Kenosha Street Railway company was
filed with the Clerk of the Circuit
Court this morning. The evidence in
the case and the exceptions taken by
the attorneys for the defendants COM
prise a~ro11 Of manuscript of almost
thousand pages. There is nothing OF
a new nature in the bill of exceptions,
the attorneys for the defendants ex-
cepting to almost everything offered
as evidence in the case. One point of
interest raised is to the action of the
court in restraining B. ]. Arnold when
he was never served with a summons
in the suit.
It is probable that the papers will be
forwarded to Madison within a few

TO COMPLETE SHERIDAN ROAD
secretary Root will Recommend that the
U.S.. Government finish 1t.

There is every reason to believe that
the Sheridan road, which has Oeen
planned for so many years against the
opposition of the farming population
between Chicago and Milwaukee, Will
yet be completed. Secretary of War
Root visited Fort Sheridan last Satur-
day for the purpose of making an ex-
animation of the fort and while there
he started movement to have the
road completed by the United States
government.
The road will be completed through
the fort at once and when the next re-
port of the Secretary of War is sent to
Congress he will ask for an appropria-
tion for the completion of the road be-
tween Chicago and Milwaukee. The
farmers of Kenosha and Racine coun-
ties have never objected to the COM
p1etion of the boulevard and their only
objection to the project was the fact
that with it's completion their lands
would be taxed to pay the greater cost
Of building the road.
Secretary Root holds that the road
is properly a government road and for
this purpose he will make the effort to
have it completed and maintained by
the United States government.
Should the plans of the Secretary be
carried out the building of the road
will follow within year.

We are pleased to announce that
after great deal of talk an investiga-
ton of some of the doings of the city
council in Henosha is being carried
on by competent people. The in
vestigation is being made in a sys-
tematic manner and it promises to
bring out some results that were not
expected when some of the people in
terested were clamoring for an investi-
cation. The matter is being attended
to by an attorney and the entire facts
will be made public as soon as his
work is completed. No one will be
spared but all treated alike.

HOPELESSLY INSANE.
Edward S. Choak, of Brighton, Sent to Asy-
lum at Winnebago for Treatment.

Edward S. Choak, a son of Charles
Choak, and one of the best known
young men of the town of Brighton,
was adjudged insane in the County
court this morning by Judge S1osson,
and sent to the State Hospital at Win
nebago for treatment. The young
man has been mentally unbalanced
for some time, and it was deemed ad-
yisab1e to send him to an asylum.
The case of young Choak is a pecu-
liar one. More than ten years ago,
while learning to ride bicycle, he had
a fall which injured him in the hip,
and while he said nothing of the mat
ter to his friends at the time, the in
Jury has grown steadily worse until he
was incapicitated on account of it.
Brooding over this injury is said to
be the cause of the failure of his men
tai powers.

of the director of the mint, which Is
now going through the press. Near

metallic money and much the larger
proportion IN In gold. The total stock
reported In 1879 was about $1,000
100000. of which more than half was
In paper money not fully covered by
metallic reserves. The situation ut
the beginning of 1900 showed n total
monetary stock of about $li GOO, ,000,-
900, of which only little more than
onc-fourth was in uncovered paper
money. Director Roberts finds that
while the tctal money supply of the
world has ircrcased about $7,000,000,-
600. the increase in gold money since
1873 has been about S3,60O,0O0, 900, In

the quantity of silver money which

since been somewhat reduced by the
sale of silver by Germany and its
retirement in other countries. The
conditions of 1891 showed total

by about Si,iOO,OOO 900. About $780,

FAILURES FOR LAST Var.


New York, Jan. i.--Failures in 1900
were slightly more numerous 'hnn In
the preceding year and the liabilities
also showed n slight increase. This.
however, says I!radstrcct's, will hard
ly bc cited as an unfayorablc symp-
tom. IL IL Is remembered that the cx-
panding trade of that year and of the
year before was instrumental in in
ducing n large number OF new VEN
iurcs in business, and, therefore. TO
this extent, rendering greater tn"
cvcr-prcsrnt liability to business en-
bnrrassmcnt. There were 9.9i3 fail
urcs, with liabilities of $i27,1si.1O5
and assets of SGo,ii9,s95 reported to
Gradstrrct's in 1900, Il gain of IS per
cent. in number over 1899 and an ir-
crease Of six per cent, or about twice
the former percentage in liabilities,
but assets only cquallcd those of
the preceding year. With the cxccp-
tion of 1899 the failures were the
smallest in number since 1887.
