AFTER POOL SHARES
Peter r. Schmitt To Defend State Pool
Championship AGAINST All Corners

Peter R. schmitt of this city has
through one of his friends, posted
challenge in Milwaukee pool and bill
lizard halls offering to meet all corners
for the State Pool Championship of
Wisconsin. Schmitt has 3ee1 the
holder of the title for many years and
he is perfectly willing to give some of
the other men in the state chance.
He is particularly looking for the band
of pool players in Milwaukee and Osh-
kosh and he is willing to make the
match one for hundred dollar side
as well as the title. Schmitt is not
particular where the match takes place
but he would prefer to have it either
in Milwaukee or Kenosha It is
thought that number of the pool
players will accept the challenge and
that there will be something doing in
the pool line within few days.

Novel Affair for Kenosha Girls
(From Thursday's Daily.)

From Thursdays Daily)
Kenosha girls had their first chance
for leap year last night when the
members Of the Retail Clerks Union
gave a dancing party at K. G. Hall
which proved to be very interesting
event. 1t is claimed that many Of the
young women who were members of
the organization did the honors Of the
evening and did them right Several
OF the young men who were asked to
go TO the party had the pleasure Of
gong IN on a free ticket and one or
two OF the girls who knew thing
or two, even went so far as to provide
carriages for their escorts The party
was a great success. There was a
large crowd in attendance and dancing
continued until early morning. Re
freshments were served during the
evening. The young women in charge
OF the party are deserving of high

Prominent Union Carpenters May
Enter Ranks Of Contractors
as Result Of Open Shop
GIVE PLAN TO ARCHITECTS
Union Men viii Seek To Find Way for
Employing All of the Members
OF Their Body During
Coming Season

AS result of the declaration of an
open shop on the part of the Master
Builders Association Of Kenosha, it is
reported that several of the Union
Carpenters of the city are planning to
go into business as contractors just
as soon as the building season opens
and these men have interviewed archi-
tects of the city and have asked
to be given a chance to bid on plans
for new buildings in the city. 1t is
understood that these men have ar
ranged to employ the Union men and
that they will be paid the regular
Union wages and the new contractors
hope that the appeal to Union princi-
plies will be sufficient to get them a
great deal Of work from the men who
are identified with Union Labor in
Kenosha.
One of the officials of the Carpen-
ter's Union when seen Tuesday declar
ed that it was greatly to be regretted
that the Master Builders Association
had declared for an open shop
and that the result would proba-
bly, be trouble when the season
of building activity opens again.
''The Carpenters he said "would
have been glad to have taken
this matter up with the contractors
and it is possible that compromise
could have been reached had it not
been for the fact that the members of
the Builders Association set a new
scale for labor without making any
announcement to the members of the
Union in regard to the cut. The great
er number of the carpenters Of the
city are in favor of fair dealings and
some Of them surely recognize the fact
that conditions are not at this time
what they were year or two ago but
the fact that the Master Builders ar
bitrarily set a rate without giving
the carpenters any chance to be heard
largely was to blame for the carpenters
declining to make any new rate. As
to the claim that higher wages are
paid in Kenosha than in any other city,
/ do not believe that the contention of
the contractors would hold. It is true
that Kenosha carpenters have received
good wages but it will be found that
when everything is taken into consid-
Grafton that the wages are about the
same as those paid in other cities of
the state and in Nortern Illinois,
1t is claimed that during the last
few months whole colonies of carpen-
ters and men connected with the
other building trades in Kenosha have
gone to other cities and in some cases
to other states. Forty carpenters re-
Gently went to Gary, Indiana and it is
claimed that the men are securing EN-.
ployment there Notwithstanding the
dull season.
The Union men as contractors will
bring new element into the contract.
ing business in Kenosha and it is
rather a difficult matter to forecast the
result of this decision on the part of
these men.
There are a number of contractors
who are not connected with the Mas
ter Builders Association and it is
understood that they will continue to
employ Union Labor.

TO PROSECUTE HOoDLUMs
Federal Officers Arrest Twelve Boys
for Breaking Up a Mail Box


On account of the fact that they
broke up a mail box at the home of a
Pleasant Priarie farmer several DAYS
ago twelve boys from Zion City all
said to be members Of good families
have been arrested by the Federal of
fcials working from Chicago and it
is claimed that the boys will be pros

The boys were members of a sleighing
party and they came from Zion City

miserable .for the farmers along the
road. Their browning effort was to
smash one Of the mail boxes. The
charge preferred is a serious one and
the boys will all be liable to heavy
fine. The inspectors of the post office
department have been ordered to insist
on the prosecution Of all such cases.
