ALL FAVOR PROPOSED PLANS
Local Men Insist, However That En-
pioyees as Well rs Employers Shall
be Interested in Any Scheme That is
to Become a Success,

The Manufacturers Association Df
Kenosha is not represented at the meet-
ing held in Milwaukee today to take
action On the proposed legislation to-
secure plan of industrial insurance.
The meeting is being held under the
auspices of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers Association of Milwaukee but
the Kenosha Association officials declare
that while they are deeply interested
the local association was not invited
to send representative and that none
of the members Of the association have
been deputized to attend.
President Yule of the Association
when seen said: "I do not know any
thing about the Milwaukee meeting
save what 1 have seen in the papers.
The Kenosha Association has received
no formal invitation to attend the meet
ING nor have the manufacturers l have
seen. We want it understood however
that we are heartily in favor of the
plan and have appeared before similar
meetings in Milwaukee on former oc-
casions and have expressed our feeling
to this end. 1t is just possible that
the fact that the feeling among Keno
Eha manufacturers is SO well known
that no invitations were sent to them
for this meeting. The question of in
dustrial insurance legislation has been
discussed by the manufacturers here
for some time and all of them feel that
it would be a good thing if properly
worked out. We believe however that
any legislation along this line, to prove
successful, should have the employee
share with the employer the liability.
We believe that this should not be
something burdensome on the employee
but simply a small amount which would
give him an interest in the fund for
The care of the injured. With this plan
In vogue it would be impossible for
dishonest employee to put something
over the employer as the other en-
ployees would at once have an,interest
In the case themselves and would aid
the employer in reaching the true facts
III every case. We do not want the men
employed to pay the benefits but sim
ply to pay in enough to make them in
terested in the expenditure of monies
along this line. This view of the Ke-
nosha manufacturers has been advanced
at former state meetings and it has met
with the support of many of the leading
manufacturers of the state. I"
President Yule has taken a great in
terest in the proposed legislation and
his views are fairly representative of
the views OF all the Kenosha manufac.
turers. 1t is certain that the big Ke-
nosha plants would welcome the coming
of some sort of law which would re.
move from the courts the damage suits
and make possible an early and fair
settlement with injured employees.
1t is expected that at the meeting
today some definite steps will be taken
to lay before the state legislature the
views of the manufacturers and it is
possible that the meeting will result in
the naming of a committee which will
draw an industrial insurance bill to be
presented at the session of the legisla-
ture in January.

tors of the Kenosha Hospital Associa-
ton that she would contribute the sum
of $4,000 toward the endowment fund
of the institution. Under the provis-
ions of the gift only the interest on
the money is available and it is to
be for the perpetual maintenance of a
room at the hospital. The gift is made
as memorial to Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
erick Newell, the parents of the donor.
The gift is a most suitable memorial
to Mr.. and Mrs. Newell as Mrs. New
ell took an especial interest in the old
Kenosha Hospital and aided materially
in starting the association ana was
among the first to donate to the fund
for the institution. Her interest in
the hospital never Jagged and up to
the time of her death she was actively
interested in all plans for the promo,
tion of the welfare of the institution.
A short time ago it was announced
that Edward Newell brother of Miss
Newell had contributed the sum of
$4,000 to the building fund of the hos
pital. The gift of Miss Newell is for
the endowment and not the building
fund.
President Simmons was elated when
he announced the gift this morning
as he sees in the action of Miss Newell
an example to other people interested
in the future of the hospital and it is
thought that her gift will be followed
by others and that eventually a large
fund will be secured, the interest on

which will be available for the main.
tenance of the institution. When the
new hospital is opened the expenses
of operation will be considerable more
than under the old plan and for this
reason the Board of Directors are
anxious 20 have an endowment fund
provided so that managing boards in
other years viii not be handicapped in
carrying on the work by lack of funds
It is expected that the people of the
city viii give largely to the fund for
endowment and that in short time
a fund viii be provided, the income of
which will be sufficient, with the regu-
lar receipts of the hospital, to make ID
self sustaining.

SHOWS UP DURKEE SHOOL CASE
Close Investigation Shows That 20
Children are Out of School as Re
suit of Measles Epidemic. Sends an
Open Letter.

NILS. MAI u. DIduIOIu, Oup6IlHtoHu>
ent of the city schools has given out
an open letter in regard to, the epidem-
ie Of measles in the city and especially
with regard to conditions existing in
the Durkee school. In this letter Mrs.
show lack of interest in the welfare
of the children and continue to permit
the spread of contagion it may be ne
cessary for the school board to cause
parents to be fined for sending child
the family are suffering with contag-
ious disease. The letter of Mrs. Brad
ford is as follows:
"Since somewhat exaggerated re-
ports in regard to the spread of con-
tagious diseases in the public schools,
are being heard, it is deemed best that
the facts be made known
The enrolment of the Durkee school
is $50 children. There are now 20
children out because of measles; kim
dergarten 8, sub-primary 6, LIST grade
G., End grade 2, Sd and 4th grade each
!, 9th grade 3.
One child is out on account of scar
let fever. The number of homes in
which there are cases of measles is 10.
Children from homes in which members
of the family are known to be sick
with any contagious disease, are ex-
Guided from school. This is often done
against the strong protest Of parents.
1t sometimes happens that the teacher
does not know that sickness exists in
a family and the parents continue to
send other children to school, thus ex-
posing their school mates.
This incident was reported ITO me
yesterday. A physician was called to
see child who had acute tonsilitis.
Arriving at the home he found that the
child had gone to school. When he
protested, the mother explained that
the little girl had insisted" upon go
ing to school.
When children rule the household
and determine its policy in important
matters, the public veal is not likely
to be respected. Until parents learn
that the kindest thing they can. do for
their children is to oblige them to do
what is best for them and others, the
burden of the teacher is not likely to
lessen.
The matter is being carefully watch
ed at the school end. No child who has
been absent for sickness is allowed to
return without a written permit from
a physician. For more thorough pro-
lection it may be necessary for the
School Board of Kenosha to- do the
same thing as has recently been found
necessary by the Milwaukee School
Board, namely, to cause parents to be
fined who send children to school when
other members of the family are sick
with any contagious disease
