Stand Guard With Guns to
Prevent Theft of Products
Oh Farms North of City
DEMAND ARRESTS FOR THEFTS

People living on farms north and
west of Kenosha who are engaged IN
the small fruit and truck farming bust
ness are making repeated complaints
to the officials on account of continued
thefts from their farms. People sup
posed to come from Kenosha break
down the fences and invade the fields
and carry away almost everything that
is movable. 1t is declared that at one
farm north of the city on Friday even
ing people supposed to be from Ken
osha broke down the road fence and
taking a wagon into the field loaded it
down with potatoes and disappeared.
Onions, cabbage and all sorts Of produce
seem to be regarded as legitimate, plum
der for these marauders. It is claimed
by the farmers that thousands of dol
lars worth of fruits and vegetables have
been stolen during the past three or
four weeks and there seems to be no
way to put a stop to the raids that are
being made. Some of the farmers stand
guard over their farm until late in the
night to prevent these thefts. It is
declared by the sufferers that the mem
bers OF their families have been insult
ed by these men invading the fields and
that when they were ordered off of the
land they not only became abusive to
the women of the household but even
threatened them with assault. 1t is
declared that the men who are making
some Of these raids on the farms are
not ali people of foreign birth but that
some Of them have been born and
raised in Kenosha. The identity of
some of the people is known and the
farmers have declared that they will
demand arrests if the raids are NOT
stopped.

Manufacturers File Protest
Against Proposed Increase
in Rates on Illinois Coal
MEANS ADVANCE IN The PRICE

The agitation between manufacture
ers, including those of Kenosha county,
and the railroads over the proposed in
crease id freight rates on coal from
Illinois and Indiana mines to Chicago,
which were suspended last June, is to
be renewed This will be a result of
the action of several of the coal carry
ing roads in filing their increased tar
ifs with the interstate commerce com
mission, effective November l.
The advance proposed by the roads
is 10 cents a ton, or 100000 year
for the entire traffic of the state, which
the coal dealers have declared unre-
servedly will have to be added to the
selling price of their product if the
advance is allowed to go into effect.
The new rates were filed originally
with the, Illinois commission to take
effect on June l, and with the inter-
state commerce commission in eases
where interstate rates were affected by
the local charges. On complaint of the
Illinois Manufacturers Association and
the Commonwealth Edison Company the
state commission undertook an investi-
cation;
The rates were suspended by agree
ment without The formality of an or
der of the commission and by general
understanding the commission S decis-
ion has been withheld pending the de-
cision as to the general rate advances

Rather than wait for the decision

AT the request of the Illinois Manu-
faeturers' Association, Chairman 0. F..
Berry Of the state commission ARRANGED
Tor meeting OF the commission today
at which conference will be held with
the railroad officials and the leading
coal users, on whom it is declared the
burden of the increase will fall.
The coal operators and dealers have
taken little part in the proceedings
held thus far before the commission.

roads not to oppose the advance pro

discrimination between competing coal
districts.
