The closing questions show how many
times the workman has returned to his
native land since coming to America
and how many years he has been en-
ployed by the company furnishing the
statistics.
It is claimed by the factory men
that it will be all but impossible to
get the answers to these questions FROM
some of the workmen on account Of
the fact that they do not speak Eng
lish and it will oe almost impossible to
make them understand the questions
through an interpreter. The managers
Of the plants are requested to make
immediate reports on all of their

Wisconsin Railroad Commission
Sets Uniform Rate for the
Shipmsnt of Milk
AFFECTS KEN0SHA SHIPPERS
Biggest Change in Rate is for snip
ments Between Thirty and Sixty
Miles Milwaukee BUSINESS
Especially Affected

The railroad freight rates for ship
ment Of milk and cream were reduced
from approximately to 20 per cent
on the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
road, the Chicago & Northwestern, the
Wisconsin Central, the Omaha & iii
nois Central lines by the Railroad Rate
Commission Saturday. Frank Shultix
Of Whitewater and about seventy
Iother shippers of milk and cream from
that city to Milwaukee made com
lplaint on the rates on milk and cream.
The Commission ordered an indie
pendent Investigation Of the milk and
cream rates and ordered the reduction
which has resulted in a double classi
fcation, the cream shipments paying a
higher rate than milk shipments. The
greatest reduction on shipments of milk
is on a distance not to be less than
thirty miles nor over eighty miles.
The rates for the distance of fifty and
sixty miles remain practically I'M
touched
"In view of the facts as given in
our decision of June IA, 1908, as well
as the present decision, it appears to
us that the rates on milk and cream as
a whole in this state, and as we'll as
the rates on milk and cream which are
included in these proceedings, are in
many respects unreasonable and so ad-
justed as to fail to meet the conditions
which now obtain From this we come
to the conclusion that the present
rates on milk and cream in the state
shall be discontinued and that the
rates made on the following list be
put in effect in their place:

Of milk, Z cents; eight gallons of milk,

SOME INTERESTING DATA
Commission is Told of Prices at Which
Racine Gas is Sold to Kenosha

Some interesting facts in regard to
the relations between Kenosha and Ra-
cine III regard to the manufacture and
sale of gas were brought to light on
Friday at Madison when A. D. Adams,
an eastern gas expert, appeared before
the Commission and had some things
to say in regard to the sale Of gas to
the city Of Kenosha by the Racine
company.
Mr. Adams, the expert, said to be
one Of the best in the country, gave
testimony which it is said was food for
thought, on the part of the officers of
Che gas company. Mr. Adams testifes
as to the physical value Of the gas
company property, as fixed by the state
at about $875,000 He disagreed on
some Of the values as fixed by the
state, such as the price of pipe, ex-
Guiding some items that they included,
because they were not proper items to
be used as proper basis for fixing
prices His testimony also touched up
on the prices charged for gas and ne
figured what profits the company could
make with the price of $1.O0 for both
Illuminating and heating gas His
claim was, that where a company sells
gas as the Racine Gaslight Company
does, to Kenosha, for SO cents thous-
and feet, that those who pay a higher
price are SO charged in order to make
up proper dividends and that this is
not fair. It is said that the testimony
Of Mr.. Adams was most complete and
thorough and that the value he gave,
knocked the figures of the state end
ways.

There is going to be a lot Of interest
in the track of the Gentlemen S Driv-

head Of fast ones and will be located
