Kenosha Handlers Of the Frozen Com
modify Getting Ready to Follow
Chicago Fellow Employees
TO DEMAND INCREASED WAGES
Icemen Now Earning S55 a Month WIN
Demand an Increase to s75 and an Ice
Famine In Kenosha May Result

An ice famine in Kenosk,a is one of
the possibilities Of the next few days,
as the ice handlers in the city are plan
ming to follow the lead of the Chicago
ice handlers in making demand for a
large increase in salaries. One of the
leaders Of the Kenosha ice men stated
last night that within another week all
the ice handlers in the city would quit
work if the wages were not increased
| by almost fifty per cent. Representa-
tives Of the Chicago Ice Handlers
Union have already come to the city
and an effort is now being made to
organize the Kenosha men into COM
pact union for the fight against the
owners of the ice routes and it is ez-
pected that the men will make their
demands Tor higher wages before the
close of the present week.
In speaking Of the matter last night
one Of the ice men stated that at pres
ent the men handling ice IN Kenosha
were receiving wages at the rate Of SIS
a monte, while the wage being paid in
Chicago was thirty dollars in advance
Of that amount. There are twenty
men employed to handle the ice sup
ply IN Kenosha and on account of the
scarcity of labor in the city it would
be practically impossible to fill the
places of these men if they should all
go on strike.
The two companies, the Scott Ice
Company and the Kenosha Pure Ice
Company, are doing larger business
than ever before. Both of the COM
panies have three wagons on the
streets and the business being done is
larger than in any previous year. The
profits of the managers of the COM
panies are said to be enormous, and
for this reason the helpers who make
the profits possible are demanding a
large increase in wages. There is lit
tle doubt but that the managers of the
companies will refuse to meet the de-
mands Of the union, and long strike
will probably follow. The men claim
that the demand for ice is so great
that they are forced to work late IN the
night In order to keep the ice supply
moving.
A strike among the handlers would
undoubtedly result in great hard
ship ia the city now that the heated
season is on in earnest and the patrons
Of the companies will hope for an ami
cable settlement of the trouble.
The employees Of lac companies
have held number of meetings to
look into the matter of forming a 1nion
and some decisive step will be taken al
the next meeting.
