impossible to forecast the many uses for
which this process may be available.
Tests have been made for motor tires,
sOles for boots and shoes, pump wash

and it is probable that the multitude of
articles that can be made of rubberized
leather will in time create further de-
mand for rubber. This new material, ii
is thought, may also prove useful for
motor and cycle tires, as it is almost i'm
possible to puncture it, while it is said
to be much more resilient and water

FOUNDRY MEN STRIKE
EMPLOYEES OF KENosHA COMPANY
QUIT WORK.
Attempt to Drag Other Workers into
Labor Trouble Is Reported After
the Walkout.

KENOSHA, Wis, July 27.-[Special.[
Labor troubles of a serious nature
broke out in Kenosha again at II o'clock
this morning when the entire force OF
the foundry of the Simmons Manufacture
ing company went out on a strike. Two
hundred and seyenty-t1ve men walked
out and there are grave FEARS that 9th
ers in other factories in the city will fol-
low their lead.
It is stated that outside movement is
working among the foreigners employed
in the Kenosha factories to bring about
a general strike among these men. Ihe
Simmons plant is the largest of the large
industries in Kenosha, employing to-
tai Of over 1900 men and, with the al
lied industries, its employment lists far
over the 1000 mark.
The men sent a committee to the SUI
perintendent of the plant, W. w. Vim
cent, at half-past 3 o'clock this morning,
asking for a reimbursement of some OF
the piece work, and WERE told that the
matter would be adjusted as speedily
as possible.
They agreed to hold a meeting this
evening and report, but instead of this
they went back to the foundry and the
men were at once called out The only
demand that has thus far been submitted
is that a minimum wage scale of $3.50
per day be established IN the foundry
and that the present piece work prices
continue.
T. G.. Simmons. known as ''Kenosha's
grand old man." is the president of the
company, and when seen at noon said:
Il do not think that there is a single
man in our foundry who is dissatisfied
with the wages he is receiving, and not
one of them has made personal COM
plant"
The men declare that the strike is
simply the beginning.
