Managers of the N. R. Aliens Sons
Tannery Grant an Increase to
Many Workmen.
THE. INCREASE CAUSES SURPRISE.
Three Men Complained of the WAGES Re-
ceived, and the Entire Force is Given
an Increase.-voluntary Raise.

By the voluntary act of the proprie-
tors of the N. r. Aliens Sons tannery
the wages of between three and four
hundred men employed in the plant
have been greatly increased. The
increase of wages came as the result
of no strike or lockout, but was simply
the recognition of the faithful service
of the men.
The managers of the tannery found
and for this reason they have added
some ten to fifteen Thousand dollars
more to their annual pay roll. Menin
nearly every part of the concern are
affected by the increase, but those
especially favored are the men work
ing in the yards and the men employed
as workmen and helpers in the beam
room.
There was n interesting little story
connected with the increase of wages
for the men in the yards. A few days
ago Charles Allen, who has charge of
the men employed, was sitting in his
office when three of the men from the
yards came in to interview him. One
of them, who was evidently spokes-
man for the party, was a great strap
ping fellow more than six feet in
height. He stated that the men were
not thinking of striking or anything
Of the kind, but he explained to Mr..
Allen that prices of commodities had
gone up, and that the 1aborer was not
able to live as cheap1y on the wages
formerly received. The men wore
heavy boots, and he explained to the
employer that the boots were costing
more money than in years past. Mr..
Allen gave the matter a moments
thought, and turning to them hesaid,
"Boys, you are right, and you shall
have an increase in wages" The
foreman of the factory was called and
an increase for all the men employed
in the yard ordered. >--s
In most cases the increase is from
six to ten per cent, and while the in
dividua1 raise is not large the aggre-
gate increase for the firm TO pay will
be large. &- %
After the men at work in the yards
had been raised, Mr.. Allen carried the.
plan into other parts of the factory,
and without any request whatever
from the men, salaries were increased
right and left. In several cases the
increases were large, and coming as
they did as complete surprise to the
men they caused great rejoicing. @s2@@
While the tannery is entirely out
side of the Vaccinations of the Hide
and Leather trust, it is stated Z at be-
fore the advance of wages was made
the Kenosha firm was paying their
men higher wages than any similar
concern in the state.

WHAT the people demand has appar-
entity been of great consideration with
the leaders at Madison during the re-
cent session of the Legislature. A
rather remarkable difference of opin-
ion on this point has characterized the
dominant party. Now if the leaders
of the opposing wings of the Republ1-
can party are really anxious to please
the people at large and their party par
ticularly, let them throw up their fac
tiona1 struggle, compromise their dit
ferences, curtail their respective amb1-
lions and unite on the broad principles
of Repub1icauism. We are tired out
with the continued wrangles of oppos-
ing leaders. The Republican party is
not divided. The fight is entirely
among and of the making of the cap
tains. The rank and file are at peace
and in perfect harmony. There are
honest differences of opinion, but they
do not disrupt the party. There was
an alleged division in the party prior
to the last nominating convention, but
no lack of unity was apparent in the
results of the election.
At that time there was a distinct
sacrifice, in the interests of harmony,
of personal preferences and opinions,
by large portion of the party. Mani
testify the sacrifice was made by those
of opposite belief in the direct inter-
ests of Governor La Toilette and his
following. The election told the story
clearly enough. Recognizing this
fact, that he was elected by the united
action of the party, the Governor can
scarcely fail, with any degree of grace
or appearance of true leadership, to
>reciprocate the action and make every
effort in his power to prevent rather
than promote war in the party.
It will be difficult for the Governor
ITO undo what has been done by his
veto message, but, nevertheless, the
only immediate hope for surcease
from the chickering's and contentious
that have ruf1ed Republican politics Ia
Wisconsin almost from the time the
present executive entered it's ranks as
a leader, rests with Governor La Fol-
1ette, To continue in course of un-
compromising antagonism to large
element of the party is only to prolong
the unseem1y fight beyond endurance
until it results disastrous1y, not to the
party, but to the Governor himself.

WITH the possible exception Of cleo
Z ton and the Fourth of July, there is
: probably no strictly national event
- that arouses so much public interest
anC -Eets the national spirit worked up
ITO so high pitch as the periodical race
for the Americas cup. The whole ma
ton takes a keen interest in the con-
test and the repeated triumphs of the
American boat is matter of pride to
all true Americans. While the regu-
1aritY with which we have sent the
challenging yacht home defeated has
seemingly justified the fancy that we
are invineible, the faintest possibility
that we may not be successful causes a
national thrill of anxiety. Even those
individuals who don't know any more
about a yacht than a cat Knows about
Sunday, and who never~pay any atten-
ton whatever to athletic sports in
general, prick up their ears at the sug-
gestion that the great yacht race may
go against us. Consequently the
United States is pretti1y generally
aroused just now by the fact that the
New York Yacht Club may jeopardize
our chances of winning the cup by not
allowing a boat not owned by the
Club the privilege of competing. The
fact that there are many who believe
that the outsider is more capable of
keeping the cup in this country than
the boat belonging to the New York
Yacht Club has aroused a general pro-
test against the unpatriotic and prig-
;gish action of the Club. If it should
turn out that the Shamrock II is toe
much for the New York boat, It's very
likely that that Club will ne treated tc
an illustration of the comprehensive
expressiveness of the English Ian
guage that will be simply appalling.

STORY OF THE MEN.
I Strikers From the Simmons Factory Tell
| Their Side of the Controversy.

Their Side of the Controversy.
There is ~ change in the strike at
the Simmons factory this afternoon
and a number of the men employed in
the foundry of the factory appeared at
this Office this morning and asked to
state their cause to the people of the
city.
The men state that they met with
Mr.. Simmons Tuesday afternoon and
consented to accept the scale which
had been proposed and which the COM
pany had agreed to accept for period
lasting until the first of next year.
This offer the company has refused
and the men are now awaiting the fur
Their will of their employers in the way
of proposition for the settlement of
the strike.
The men state that they are now
willing, as at all times in the past, to
accept any reasonable compromise
that may be offered by the men or by
the company, but they are unit on
keeping up the strike until there can
be some changes made at the foundry
that will equalize the work and wages.
In reply to the letter published by
the managers of the firm on Saturday
the men state that the real cause of
the trouble was not touched upon by
by the managers of the factory. The
men have no quarrel with Mr.. Sim
mons and are satisfied that he is MAX
ing every effort to deal fairly with the,
employees, but they state that Superin-
-tendent Nothing is largely responsible
for the strike and its continuance.
The men, before the strike occurred,
had appealed to Mr.. Nohling for some
consented to present their grievances
to Superintendent Field and the man
ayers of the factory. But he failed to
make these promises good and the men
claim that the superintendent had
never been notified of the trouble until
after the men went out on strike.
For this reason the strike seemed to
come as bolt from the clear sky, but
the managers should have known of
the trouble several days before.
The men state that the new scale as
proposed is practically the same scale
under which they worked last year.
They claim that there is no hard feel
ing among the men for any of the
managers>of the point with the ex-
ception of little feeling against Mr..
Noh1ing. The men are ready to re-
turn to work on the scale agreed on at
the recent conference. -.
A call at the office of e.. G.. Simmons
this afternoon revealed no new facts
in regard to the position of the COM
pany on the strike. Mr.. Simmons
stated that it was a serious question
for the firm to decide as to the future
location of the foundry and they had
been con sidering a change for some
time, but the matter would not have
been brought out had it not been for
the strike. He stated that the other
members of the corporation were a
unit in favoring the opening of a
foundry in Chicago, but that he had
held out for Kenosha.
AS to how matters will finally be
settled no one seems to know. ME-
Simmons is still in favor of keeping
the foundry in Kenosha, and it is GER
tain that his desires in the matter will
have large weight with the members
of the firm IN making their decision.
