All Men Employed in Bake Shops
Quit Work Wednesday Even
ing and Fail to Return
BOSSES WORK OVER OVENS
Refuse to Grant the Demands of the
Men and Claim That They are Able
to Supply the City With Bread
for an Indefinite Period

Kenosha is having more labor
troubles and this time it is the bak-
cries OF the city which are affected.
Wednesday night all the men employ
ed IN the seven bake shops Of the city
declined to go to work and the strike
is on. The action of the men has had
little effect on the bread and pastry
supply of the city, as the ovens in all
bakeries save one were working We'd
nesday night and the bosses pat on
their caps and aprons and took the
places Of the strikers.
The bosses declare that they will be
able to take care Of this work for an
indefinite time if the men desire to
remain out. There was no shortage
of bread today as the men who did
not do the usual baking were supplied
by the other shops in the city. The
bosses have held several meetings
aud they are entirely in unison on the
matter and will decline to accede to
the demands of the strikers.
Two weeks ago the seventeen bak-
ers in Kenosha formed union and
secured charter from the national
body. Previous to this time the men
had, most of them, been members of
the Racine chapter of the union but
they had not attempted to make any
trouble for the bosses in KeuosIla.
On last Monday the bakers submitted
ito the bosses contracts in which
raise of wages, a shorter day, and
recog milton Of the union was demand
ed. The bosses were given two days
in which to sign these contracts, and
not one of the bosses signed. We'd
nesday was the last day of grace for
the bosses and when the contra cts
we're not signed the men declined to
go to work.
There was no trouble in connection
with the strike and none is antici-
pated. The men out are such a
small number that it would be an easy
matter to handle them. AS the bak-
cries of the city are united in denying
the demands of the union there is
little chance for boycott as the peo-
pie of the city must buy bread.
One of the leading boss bakers OF
the city when seen this morning,
stated that he did not anticipate any
trouble from the strike. cit is i'm
possible he said ''for us to concede
| the demands of the men and we are
making arrangements to do the bak-
ing ourselves until such time as the
men see fit to return to work on the
old arrangement.
| The Kenosha men are receiving as
high wages as are paid in the cities
and we have no intention of granting
a further increase. The fact that the
bosses are unit on this matter shows
| that the demands of the bakers are
unfair from our standpoint. The
bakeries will all be in operation and
there will be no shortage Of bread or
| pastry products Should there be a
shortage it would be an easy matter
for the stores to secure all of the
bread needed from Milwaukee or Chi
cago."
1t is generally believed that the
strike will be short lived one, as it is
said that some of the men are already
DESTROYS of returning to work.
This is the first strike that has ever
occurred among the bakers Of the
city.

Chicago, H.. Aug. WHEAT
The market opened strong on lively
demand by shorts, and commossion

shorts the previous session, and in at

The strength of Liverpool said to be
due to wet weather in Great Britain
and small shipments from the Argen-

marked by further strength by the
news from St Petersburg that wheat
is being imported into Russia from
