KENOSHA STRIKE OVER;
MEN RETURN TO WORK.
Labor Struggle Is Lost, the Company
Refusing to Grant Ary De-
mands

KENOSHA, Wis, July 24.-lSpe-
cial. THE strike at the \. II. Allen
Leather company's plant is practically
over. the men returning 10 work today
after their committee had accepted the
terms of the company.
Mayor Scholey announced at noon;
ITS all off; the men have all gone
back to work Gen. Falk still remains
at the tannery, but will probably leave
for Milwaukee tonight.
With the coming of the end the men
who had been striking fought with each
other in order TO get back to their old
places in the plant, and an hour after
work was resumed in all departments
the authorities declared that 1000 men
were at work and others were awaiting
to get in and at work again. There
was no question offered at the pariey
between the two factions this morning
save the suggestion that the tannery OF
ticials pay the few men still out for the
time lost in the strike This was prompt
ly refused and the men announced that
they would return to work at once in
any way.
More than 500 strikers lined the
streets about the plant early today and
in the midst of them was Gen. Otto
Falk colmselling them against making
any disturbances. When the plant was
opened about 100 went back to work.
They were Kissed and dcrided, but there
was no effort made to halt them. Then
the rest followed. In the Office of the
company men started work at Is o'clock
this morning to get in readiness for the
weekly pay day and all the men, includ-
ing the strikers, were paid off at noon.
A big sensation of the strike was the
becoming public of an order issued by
the police and fire commission by which
the mayor is practically shorn of all
power in handling the police force. The
order was issued by President Z. G..
Simmons, Jr., late last night and under
it the police will ask no orders from the
mayor or any other city official. 1t is
declared that the order was made neces-
sary by the action of the mayor in seek
Ing to use the strike to advance him
self politically among the laboring men.
that hat he would withdraw The police pro- s
lection of the city If the company did
not meet the demands of the strikers.
President Simmons notified the police
that every action would be protected by
the police and fire commission and di-
rected them to lock up any official even
though it be the mayor If any attempt
was made to interfere with their work.
