State Bakery Inspector |. 4.
kutler, Who Resigned His
Position, in Kenosha
BAKERIES In GOOD SHAPE
Charles Kramer, President of the State
Bakers Association Slated to
Succeed L. III. KutIer After
June the First


Z. H. Knt1er, Of Appleton, the state
bakery inspector, who has just re-
signed his position and who will go
out Of office the first Of next month, is
making his final visit to the Kenosha
shops today. Mr.. Kutler made quite
a hit with the Kenosha bakers, and
he has done a great deal to promote
cleanliness in the shops here. Since
he was appointed to his office he has
given considerable time to Kenosha,
and as result of these numerous
visits he declares that Kenosha has as
fine lot of bake shops as. can be
found in the state.
Mr.. Kutler came to Kenosha OF
Tuesday afternoon, and was given a
little reception by members of the
craft in Racine and Kenosha at the
Elks lodge rooms. The pleasant re-
lations existing between the inspector
and the bakers of the two cities were
discussed, and Mr.. Kutler stated that
there we're no cities in the state in
which he had been better received
than in Kenosha and Racine. He
stated that the bakers in the two
cities had given him every possible
aid in his work of securing better
conditions for the bake shop. and that
he would always have warm place
III his heart for Kenosha and Racine.
This morning Mr.. Kutler made the
rounds of the shops in Kenoslla, and
his report was decidedly favorable
che. After the tour Of inspection he
stated that he was satisfied with all
he shops save one, and that the pro-
prietor Of this shop was now building
a new place of business and would
move into it within the next few
weeks.
AT the close of the month Mr.. Kut1er
will retire from his duties as inspector
and will take care of his large bakery
business in Appleton.
Charles Kramer, Of Milwaukee, the
present president of the Wisconsin
State Bakers associa ton, is slated to
be the successor of Mr.. Kutler. It is
claimed that the appointment of Mr..
Kramer is made without political pull
and that he is the choice of large
proportion of the bakers in the state.
The new inspector is we'll known to
the Kenosha bakers and he will be ac-
corded the same support that has
been given to Mr.. Kutler during his
two years Of service.

LOOKS INTO STRIKES
Harry |. Smith, Of the Bureau Of
Labor Of the U. S. Government,
Making Investigations Here

Harry L. Smith, special agent OF
the Bureau of Labor of the Depart
n1ent of Commerce and Labor of the
United States government, has come
to Kenosha to make an investigation
of strikes that have occurred IN the
city during the past four years. These
statistics are being prepared for the
use of the government department.,
and it is safe to say that they are be-
ling prepared with the most rigid care.
While kenosha has been remarkably
free from la b Jr troubles during the
past four years, Mr.. Smith hasa large
number of disturbances to investi.
gate in the city and county and his
work will probably take him several
days.
While he will not take up the strike
at the Allen tannery nor the recent
strike among the bakers Of the city,
he has total of more than a half
dozen strikes to look into. This fact
shows that the government keeps a
decidedly close tab on aa1l business of
interest to the different departments.
The fact that only three men went
out in a strike does not lessen it's i'm
portance SO far as the government re-
port is concerned and thesstatis les of
strike of this nature are Just as i'm
portant as if hundreds of men had
been thrown out of work.
Mr.. Smith seeks not only the sta
tistics OF the strike but also as we'll
the cause of the trouble and the
method Of settlement.
Among the strikes that have taken
place in the county III the four years
none was Of great Importance save
the one anong the icemen at Twin
Lakes III 1904 This strike resulted
in serious rioting about the ice houses
and more than 500 men were out Of
Other strikes charged to Kenosha
county we're: One at the simmons
factory of no Importance; 2. at the
factory of the Laf1in-Rand Powder
company IN the town of Pleasant
Prairie; | at the Pirsch Wagon works,
when three men declined to work with
negro; at the Badger Brass plant,
when the lampmakers went out, and
among the men employed on the
sewer work during the summer of last
year.
TIE details Of all of these strikes
will be secured by Mr.. Smith and will
be carefully preserved insthe govern
ment records.

Aldermen are Asked to Provide
Plan for Working City Prison.
ers to Keep Streets Clean
WOULD REQUIRE NEW LAW
City Could Save Hundreds of Dollars
Annually by Forcing the City
Prisoners to Work Out Fines s~
as Street Laborers

Members OF the city council are be-
ing urged to devise some plan by
which the labor of prisoners confined
IN the county jail at the cost Of the
city may be utilized in keeping the
streets Of the city in order. These
men now loaf about the Jail with no
occupation save the keeping Of the
lawns Of the jail and court house.
This work is done by the prisoners Of
their own will, as many of them pre-
fer to be at work on the lawns to re-
naming behind the bars in the iai1
Under the present laws the city would
have no power to force the prisoners
to work on the street in order to. pay
fines assessed against them, but it is
thought that it would be an easy mat
ter to have the state Legislature pass a
law which would give the city of Ke-
nosha the right to utilize the labor of
city prisoners. At the present time it
is an expense to the city to convict a
man of the crime of intoxication, for
If he is not a leash customer" and
pays his fine, the city is forced to pay
for his keep at the county jail for
from fifteen to sixty days. On this
account many of the hobos arrested
by the officers are turned out. The
expense to the city for the care OF
these prisoners amounts to a large
item every year.
AT the present time there are five or
six men in the county Jail serving
long sentences for violating city or
dinances. With the work of these
men the streets of the city could BE
kept IN the best Of shape at all times
of the year. It's possible that in a
short time the prisoners would tire Of
working on the street, but should this
be the fact Kenosha would be free Fof
them and the city would be even more
the gamer. Pc
Years agoit was a common sight to
see the prisoners with ball and chain
at work on the streets of Wisconsin
cities, and since the passage of the
law making such a plan impossible,
other cities in the state have had
special laws passed BY the Legislature
which gives to the city the power Of
forcing the men to work on the street..
There are from twenty to thirty
prisoners sent to jail each month for
violation of the city ordinances and
this would make q splendid bodysof
street cleaners 9HsT7
The matter has been placed before
the aldermen and they will lay it be-
fore the city attorney with erequest
that he find some way by which the
city can force these men to work out
the fines assessed against them.
In cities where the law is enforced
in this manner the criminal class soon
disappears and leaves never to re-
turn. ssa

Gadsden, August 13.-(Special)-C. P.
Bush has received telegram announce
ing the death of his brother, Prof. I.
w Bush, at Madison, Ind. Professor
Bush is known in nearly every southern
city and his death will be a shock to his
many friends. He was in his usual good
