Fatally Injured Leaves Hospital


Herman Grams, a Jenne street
teamster who was kicked in the head
several weeks ago while assisting in
hauling sand on Washington Island,
has been discharged from the Kenosha
Hospital. The recovery of Grams

no less than miracle. When Grams
was kicked by the horse it was
thought that he was fatally injured
and that he could survive but few
hours. 1t was found that his skull
had been fractured and all the latest
methods Of surgery were used to save
the life of the man. Grams layed in
an unconscious state for many days
but it is now said that he will entirely
recover. DR.. G. H. Gephart was in
charge Of the case.

Kenosha Workingmen 10 Urge
Legislature to Pass Bills for
Bettering Of Their Class
COMMISSIONER TO HELP
Efforts Will Be Made to Shut Off Some
of the Avenues for Female Labor
in the State for the Better
ment of the Women

Kenosha 1aboring men and particu-
larly those connected with the vari-
Gus organizations under the direction
are receiving letters from the leaders
of the different unions in the state
asking them to take leading place
in the fight that is being made to Sc
cure the enactment of laws for the
betterment of the laboring classes.
These laws are to be particularly
interesting in Kenosha on account of
the fact that they will deal with the
employment of female labor and out
side of Milwaukee Kenosha employs
more women workers than any city
in the state. These laws have not
been prepared by any labor agitators
but by the state commissioner of
labor and nearly all of them have
been tested in other states and found
to be good thing for the 1aboring
men. The Kenosha working men will
be asked to circulate petitions among
the people Of the city and file them
with the representatives of the county
in the assembly and the senate Of the
state. The bills that have been
recommended by the commissioner
of labor include the following:
A general co-emp1oye law similar
to that which was killed at the last
session of the legislature.
A bill providing for eight-hour work
days on all state, county and munich
pal buildings and public work.
A bill regulating the compensations
for accidents to employees.
A bill regulating the employment
Of women in breweries, providing for
separate rooms for them to work in.
A bill relating to docking employees
for breakages, hardness and for vio-
lation Of verbal contracts.
| A bill appropriating about $4,000
or 500, 900 for state trade school to
be located at Milwaukee.
A bill regulating picketing during
strikes, authorizing union men to
| peaceab1y talk to all employees.
A bill providing for the adequate
ventilation of all plants.
! A bill prohibiting all children under
IA years of age from playing in bands
or orchestras.
A comparison of the study of the
report of the labor commissioner re-
veals the fact that while child labor
during the past eighteen months has
decreased on account of the more rigid
enforcement Of the child labor laws,
the employment of female labor has
increased about % per cent. The in
increase in employment of male labor
has increased only in proportion to the
1 increase in the number of factories
and shops started while the increase
in the employment of female labor
has increased nearly four times as
much. To remedy this a law is pro-
posed limiting the hours during which
women can work at any occupation in
factories and shops to eight. This it
is believed would result in solving the
servant girl problem to certain ex.
tent, as the women who could not be
employed more than eight hours in
! factories would likely accept employ
ment in private homes.

TO MAKE EN- VOTE
AssembIyman Curtiss Receives
Draft Of Bill to be Proposed
by La Crosse Attorney
POLL TAX FOR STAY AT HOMES

Assemblyman w. Nj. Curtiss of this
county has received draft of bill
prepared by City Attorney Paul w.
Maloney, of Lacrosse, which promises
to be one of the most interesting
pieces of legislation proposed at the
coming session of the general assem-
bly, Of Wisconsin. The purpose of the
bill is to compel every elector in the
state to vote at state and city cleo
tions, and in order to force him to the
polls the bill would impose poll tax
to be RENTED in case the name ap-
peared on the list of voters The poll
tax to force voters to get out is placed
at three dollars for every e1ector and
it is proposed to place the money in
fund for the keeping of the highways.
Attorney Maloney has sent out the
following statement with the bill:
The bill is intended to affect the
stay-at-home voter. A similar meas
ure was introduced in the Assembly
in 1908 by Assemb1yman Ray of La
Crosse county, and in the Senate by
Senator Morris at the session of 1905,
and, as understand it from both these
gentlemen, met with considerable ia
vorable comment and no particular
opposition.
For several years had been chair
man of one of the county committees
of this county and I found that the
most difficult task that devolved upon
political committees was to get the
voter registered and to get out full
vote. To overcome this I conceived
the idea that if a poll tax was levied
upor all of the voters with certain ex-
ceptions and then exempt them if
they had voted, that would do the
business. The constitutionality of
this bill, do not think, can be ques-
toned. The law is similar to one we
now have on our statute with the ex-
ception that we add to the excepted
list those who have voted at the last
general and municipal elections. In
section 1910 of the statutes Of 1898
various classes are excepted from
paying poll tax and can see no con-
stitutiona1 objection to adding addi-
tiona1 classes. Section 124O has been
sustained by the supreme court.
The merits of this bill consist in it's
ability to get all of the voters of the
state to cast their ballot without the
great expense to which candidates
and political committees are put to
induce them to do their duty. might
say that two-thirds of the expenses of
elections are caused by efforts made
to get out the vote. In the first place
the wards and districts have to be can
vassed. In the next place teams have
to be hired on election day and in
Vulnerable party agents and ward
workers must be hired to chase the
voters in. If this bill is passed every
voter will see to getting out on cleo
ton day and without any effort on the
part of the political committees. The |
parties then can devote their attention
to educating the voter and presenting |
their claims for recognition. It also
appears to me that if every man knew
he had to vote he would study the
questions more intelligent
This bill will probably be presented
by Senator Morris in the Senate and /
probably will be in the Assembly.

Season, to be Manager Next Year
It IS now pretty certain that Joe
Pulse, the pitcher, who oficiated for
kenosha during the last season will
not be seen in a Kenosha uniform
next year as he is to blossom out as a
manager of team in the Lake Shore
League. Pulse is making an effort to
secure the franchise for the Wauke-
gan team in the league and his
chances are decidedly rosy. He is
now making an effort to secure a
lease of the ball park at Waukegan,
which is owned by the Chicago and
Milwaukee Railway company and it is
expected that the lease will be signed
tomorrow. Pulse is great favorite
with the Waukegan people and team
under his management will undonbt-
eddy prove paying proposition.
