PRAISES THRooPs
General Falk Has Good Things to Say
For the Militia Men in Milwaukee

Tired by his long vigil and almost
incessant work among the strikers,
General Falk is pleased at the hap
Ply termination of what seemed likely
to develop into a serious, situation. He
is kept in close touch with affairs in
Kenosha by telephone and returned to-
Milwaukee this morning and will re-
main there until all danger of further
trouble is passed.
Capt. Robert Mueller troop A, and
the three companies of militia, order
ed under arms by the general Thursday
afternoon and held in readiness to 60
to Kenosha in case of further trouble,
were warmly praised.
The promptness with which the men
responded, Gen. Falk said, the absence
of all confusion and the precision with
which every man performed the duties
assigned to him reflect the greatest
credit upon them, and have done more
than anything for long time to dem
onstrate their efficiency in case of need.

to be able to purchase the land for
the road at an average of 1925 an
acre. This is regarded as almost an
lmposslblllty and real estate men who
know pretty well the value of the land
insist That it will cost the company
nearer an average of $500 an acre.
The company contemplates the build
ing OF gas plants, telephone lines and
the installation of a water system
which will be offered to the people all
along the line and the dream goes so
Tar as to predict that in time COM
pact city will be built up along the
road which will extend all the way
from Chicago to Milwaukee.
Many prominent capitalists of Mil
waukee and Chicago have been asked
to take an interest in the line and
among the largest stockholders from
Wisconsin are Charles F. Pfster, Will
mer Sieg, Phillip Gross, John H. Kopp,
meier and several of the leading banks
in Milwaukee, Kenosha people are
naturally taking an interest in the pro
posed "Great White Way but it is
not thought that any great amount of
stock in the enterprise will be sold in
Kenosha.

a new committee named. This com
mlttee was ordered TO hold meeting
this morning and meet the managers
lot the tannery. There were several
hot Soclalistic speeches at the meeting
IN which the men were urged to hold
out ard these speeches were met with
applause. John Humphrey of the
State Board Of Arbitration addressed
the men and urged them. to. accept a
settlement Of the strike. He declared
that the terms offered by the company
were just and fair to the strikers and
that the men who had not been inter-
ested in the strike could be taken care
OF in the future. He pledged the men
the aid Of the State Board in an eff
fort to secure change in the wage
scale, but demanded that they first
return to WORK in a peaceable manner
and permit HIM to take the new ques-
.tion up with the company later in the
year. He declared that he was speak
ing to them in their own best interest
and that his words were not biased
by any political consideration.
1t was cvfuent Friday that the
strikers were divided into three fac
TORS. One of them was ready to re-
turn to work, second wanted to hold
out for the two days payment during
the strike and the Rird was in favor
of continuing the strike for the origi-
nal demands. This latter class was in
the minority. W len the plant opened
Saturday there was no sign of
trouble. A few of The men returned
to their places in the plant and no
effort was made to interfere with them
and il fact there was no show or
demonstration against the mon A
few CT tie more timid ones feared to
enter the plant, but Notwithstanding
the fact shat Grand avenue was lined
with men it was declared that most of
them were employees who were ready
to get back to work if the opportunity
was offered to them.
General Falk was at the plant be-
fore six o'clock and made his presence
felt in the crowds of worhmen. He
had no occasion to make any address
to the men, but it was evident that
his presence was a power in maintain
irg order.

up Trouble

Labor troubles were renewed in Ke-
nosha IL o clock tuesday morning
when 275 men, practically the entire
force of employees of the foundry Of
the Simmons Manufacturing Company,
went on a strike and walked out of
the plant and up to a late hour this
afternoon no EFFORTS have been made

shown no, tendency to return to their
work. he stree was not without
warming as tor several days there had
been vague flmors about the city that
the men in the foundry were planning
to strike. 1t was rumored on the
streets this afternoon that strikes
were to be called at other plants, but
none Of the other plants had been af-
fected up to a late hour. Agitators
were at work among the men and sew
eral employees Of the tannery were APP
preached this afternoon, with view
Of starting@new trouble. at that plant,
but all of these men returned to work
and there was no sign Of an outbreak
with the exception Of the strike at the
Simmons plant. None Of the foundry
men caused any trouble and as soon as
they walked out of the plant. they went
to Columbia Hall where a meeting was
held and it is understood that they will
submit their demands to the officials
Of the company after a meeting which
is to be held this evening. The strike
at the Simmons plant was a peaceable
one in every way and>t there was no cal!
for officials ON the part of the com
pany. &
Just after O'Clock Tuesday morning
the men employed in that part of the
plant sent a committee to Superin-
tendent w. W. Vincent and this com
mittee asked that the. wages for work
ing certain pieces be tre-adiusted and
the superintendent stated that they
would be taken up by the officials of
the company at once and that if pos
sible an adjustment would be made
which would be satisfactory to all CON
cerned The committee left the Office
to lay the matter before the men and
they did not return AT eleven o'clock
after the matter had been discussed
by the men they walked out.
1t is stated eunoAicially. that the
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1909-07-29

men are asking that minimum wage
|of 500 per day for pourers and $50
per day for racke-s be established with
the understanding that the men may
earn as much more than this as IS pos
slble by piece work. z. G. Simmons,
the president of the company, was
seen just after the strike was inaugu-
rated and he said: There has been no
dissatisfaction among the men employ
ed IN the foundry and we. do not know
what the trouble Isl We do not care
to have anything to say in regard to
the strike until we. are more fully ad-
vised as to the conditions.
z. 6. Simmons, Jr., who was in Chi
cago at the time the strike started,
reached Kenosha at / o'clock Tuesday
and when seen he stated that
he had not expected any trouble on
account Of the fact that the company
was now paying higher wages than any
or It's competltors with the possible
exception of a few concerns on the
Pacific Coast where the wages were
abnormally high on account of local
conditions.
The company has in its employ more
than 1900 men and a general strike
would be hard blow to the city. 1t is
not thought that any other departments
will be affected. However, should the
strike in the foundry be continued for
any length of time it would be neces-
sary for the plant to shut down as the
other departments are in measure
dependent on the work done in the
foundry.

DREAM TO COME SOMETIME
Men Behind Movement Lay Plans for
the Construction of the Road and
Other Allied Interests
Between Two Cities

Hundreds of letters were received by
Kenosha people tuesday asking
them to take financial interest. IN the
construction of what is to be known
as "The Great White Way between
chicago and Milwaukee and the plans
of the Chicago Milwaukee Road and
Realty Company are clearly set forth
in this circular. The company has
the biggest project in the way of road
building attempted in many years and
while it is expected that it will be
ten and possibly twenty years before
the plans of the company are carried
out active work is being done to make
this dream as it has been repeated
ly called, a reality. 1t is planned to
provide the capital needed for the
building of the great roadway between
the two cities by the sale of member
ship certificates at ten dollars each and
these memberships will carry with them
two shares OF stock in the company of
q par value of $25. The plan is to
build a roadway 144 feet in width con-
Meeting the two cities. The road is
planned to contain room for trolley
line with double tracks, wagon road
for the use OF horse vehicles and an
enclosed portion of the road for the
use of automobiles. 1t is also planned
to have foot. paths on either side of the
roadway for. the use of pedestrians
All Of this road way will be free for
the use of the people with the excep
ton Of the portion which will be en-
closed and used as an automobile
speed way. On this portion of the
road toll will be charged and an effort
will be made to nave the owners of
motor cars pay for the keeping up of
portion of the roadway
The scheme of the company is large
as it provides not only for the con-
struction of the road, but for the
building of electric light and power
plants along the line so as to furnish
public utilities not only to the cities
along the road, but also to the great
mass of people living in the farming
communities The company also ex
poets to realize a large amount from
the sale of property along the road.
The most visionary part of the scheme
is the fact that the promoters expect

INJURED MEN RECOVERING
Men Shot During Trouble at Tannery
Are All Out of Danger

Reports from the Kenosha Hospital
this morning state that the three men
who were shot during the trouble at
the Allen tannery are all out of dang
er. The men are all able to sit up
and all of them will be able to return
to their work within a fortnight. On
Sunday morning story was widely
circulated about the city in which it
was declared that one of the men had
died on Saturday night and that the
facts in the case were being suppressed
for fear that it might start rioting
among the men employed at the tan
merry. There was absolutely no reason
for this rumor as the condition of the
men had not been dangerous at any
time since they were taken to the
hospital.

Watching Carnival Monday Night

Mrs. Caroline Neubauer, well
known woman of the north side, was
seriously injured on Monday evening
by being run down by a horse on
Exchange street just south of Pearl
street. The woman and number Of
her friends were crossing the street
just north of the tent occupied by the
Wild West show connected with the

Mrs. Neubauer stepping on her left
arm. The injured woman was removed

Chicago: and Lemon street and DR..
George Pugh was called to attend her.
