NEW LAW IS DESIRED.
Coal Dealers of Two States to
Work for New Measure Re-
garding Coal Weights
ARE NOW AFTER THE RAILROADS.

Strong efforts will be made by the
coal dealers Of Wisconsin and Illinois
to secure the passage of bill at the
next session of their respective legis-
latures, which shall compel railroad
companies to settle with consignees on
basis of destination weight instead
Of mine weights, the existing practice.
Also to compel the railroad companies
to pay for all shortages owe one ton.
This was decided at the final session
of the Illinois Wisconsin Coal Dealer s
association, at the Plankinton house,
Milwaukee.
Resolutions covering these matters
were adopted and will be sent to each
member of, the various state legisla-
lures. A special committee of six
members, three of Wisconsin and three
of Illinois, will be appointed to further
the measures.
At the present time the coal dealers
have no recourse except that given
them under the common law, which is
to bring suit against the railroad COM
panies. Members of the association do
not believe this affords adequate ju-
dicial recourse and therefore are hop
ing aid Will be found in legislation
proposed. It contemplates establish
ment Of scales at diverting points, con
nections and terminals, where the con
signee can compel railroad companies
to weigh the cars of coal, should he be
lieve there is shortage. If weighing
shows the shipment is short more than
1000 pounds the railroad companies
must pay for shortage over this
amount and also the re-weighing
charges.
Coal men declare they suffer large
losses through having to accept mine
weights. Almost every carload is short
weighted, they say and also that much
coal while in transit is stolen. Some
coal men assert that brakemen and
other railroad employees shovel coal off
cars while passing their homes.
When such shipments reach the con-
signee he usually notices there is a
shortage, but all he can do is make com
plants or fight the railroads in the
courts.
This will be obviated, coal men say,
if the Legislature passes a bill requir-
ing the railroads to sell their coal at
the destination weights.

cry agents, but the men behind the
movement win insist that the federal
othcials keep up the fight with view
OF setting q precedent for the future.
Many cities In the state have seconded
the action of Kenosha and it is GER
tain that the movement started here
will result in retail sales by brewery
agents being cut out in all of the large
cities Of the state. With the state as
ISOLATION of retail dealers behind the
movement it is certain that it will
gather strength in all parts Of the
state and it is probable that the state
association viii go on record to de-
mand legislation in the state to furth-
er curb the powers Of the brewers.
One thing that viii be demanded is
that only one license be issued to a
brewery agent and this movement also
had its inception in Kenosha.

CAMPAIGN GROWING WARM.
Several Candidates in the Field for the
Office Of Water Commissioner.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
council viii not elect water commits
sioner until the regular September
meeting of that body the fight for the
Office is beginning to warm up and al
ready several candidates are in the
field The council will be called upon
to elect two commissioners at the
September meeting. It is generally be-
lieyed that there will not be any OPP
position to the reelection Of Matt
GreenWald, who is at present serving
as chairman Of the board and the real
successor to former Mayor James Cor
man whose term expires this year. This
has aroused the fighting blood of the
German and Scholey factions of De-
mocracy. The former mayor is again
a candidate for election as a member
Of the board and it is said that the
opposition will support George Higley,
Higley was once a member Of the COM
mission, but resigned when it was
found that he could not hold the office
of water commissioner and that of al
derman at the same time Friends of
both of the candidates are claiming
victory and it is probable that there
will be a hot time in the council on
the night the election takes place. Of
course the fight is simply the old fight
for control of the water commission
and it is probable that the aldermen
will be pretty slow to take up the mat
ter until after they have kept close
tab on what is going on.

TO LEAD FIGHT ON BREWERS
Local Delegates Will Demand Action
from the State Association to Keep
the Breweries Out of the Retail
Trade.

John F. Langan W. Ward and John
B. Ortiz left this morning for Ashland
to attend the annual convention of the
Wisconsin State Liquor Dealers asso-
citation of which Mr.. Langan is the
president. The sessions of the conven-
ton will begin this evening and con
tinue through Thursday. 1t is prob
able that Mr. Langan will retire from
the leadership of the state organiza-
ton although he has already been
promised support from all parts of the
state if he will stand for reelection.
The Kenosha delegation promises to
be one of the leading delegations in
the state gathering Of the liquor deal
ers and an effort is to be made by
the local delegates to start some action
which will break, the shackles which
the breweries are putting about the
retail dealers. Kenosha retail liquor
dealers have sent a set of resolutions
dC1AGIAo1hS GhdU GuO DlSWCIlCS hSCp
their hands off the retail trade and
there is little doubt but that these
resolutions will be passed by mani
nous vote. It is probable that the
convention will also pass a resolution
making it impossible for brewery
representative to join any Of the local
organizations of the retail dealers
The recent action of the retail deal
ers in demanding federal investigation

licenses. The evidence secured will be
presented to the federal grand jury at
it's next session and it is possible and
even probable that indictments will be

The Fort Sheridan authorities who
are planning to construct a "bump-
the bumps similar to the one that
caused such trouble at Glencoe few
years ago, doubtless are acting within
their rights. Inside the grounds of the
military post they have the right to
construct anything they please. They
are right in believing that ''bump-
the bumps" viii discourage automobil-
lists. The best machine and the most
reckless rider will he tanned by series
of miniature hills and hollows, over
which fast speed will be impossible.
And there are possibilities in the
bumps.
LII every village or township in which
fast speeding exists, despite the build
ing up of fourishing business for
justices of the peace, were to construct
'bump-the.Aumps, there would soon
be less h~siness for the justices. No
more would they be able to fine an ar
rested automobiGst as much as his
pocketbook warrants, and they would
have to seek other fields of industry.
Perhaps, in recognition of their vested
rights, they might be allowed to man
age the bumps" A justice of es-
taplished reputation for heavy fines
might find it possible to get money
from the venturesome 'joy riders
who survived after attempting to ride
over the "bumps" at fast speed.
We suggest that any civil authori.
ties who contemplate following the ex-
ample of the Fort Sheridan plan give
full recognition to the justices that
have established their right to live off
the automobile industry. Only so viii
it be possible to check speeding per-
manently. Otherwise, the justices might
get out in the dark of the night and
level the bumps. Military regula-
tions cannot always be followed safe.

BOARD TO ORGANIZE
Much Work Is Planned for
the State Board of Public
Works Next Week
BETTER METHODS ARE DESIRED

Former State Senator William H.
Hatton has confirmed the report that
the newly created board of public
works would hold meeting in Madi-
son next week for organization purposes
and that the board would begin it's
duties at once.
Besides the planning and installation
of a uniform system of accounting for
the various Offices of the state one of
the objects of the board is to make
study of living conditions in the state
and see if something cannot be done
to reduce the cost of living.
The methods now in vogue for the
distribution Of food products are to be
inquired into and an effort made to
see if legislation cannot be recommend
ed for distribution which shall material
ly lessen the cost of the consumer. In
discussing the work which the commits
sion is preparing to do along this line
w. IlcbtOn pt1ASk 1tNSb LA S1kb tue DOafC
would welcome any suggestions which
might be made by citizens in regard
to methods which may result in cheap
ening the cost of living.
1t is understood that the Social
Democratic leaders are preparing to
give a good deal of attention to this
portion of the work of the board and
that they make numerous. suggestions
along the line of initial movements
for the establishment of state owned
and municipal depots for the distribu-
ton of food products.
It is understood that when the
board convenes in Madison that Sen
ator William II. Hatton will be elected
the chairman of the board and that the
first work which will be taken up will
be the discussion of plans for a uni
form system of bookkeeping for the
state.

With modern methods of quarantine
and sanitation the announcement that
cases of cholera have been discovered
in the seaport cities no longer sends a
shiver Of dread through the whole
country as would have been the case
only a few years ago when the health
authorities We're practically helpless
before the advance Of the disease. For
all that no precautions should be neg
lected that will prevent the cholera
getting any foothold whatever in the
interior cities Elaborate measures are
taken by the government to keep track
of all immigrants from the infected dis
tricts of the old country long after
they leave quarantine and the health
officers at their places of destination
are warned to keep the immigrants I'M
der close surveillance after their ar,
rival until it is absolutely certain that
none of them has carried the infec-
ton and to act promptly should any
suspicious diseases make their appear
ance among them. In cities like Keno
sha where there is a large percentage
of foreigners whose friends and rela-
tives are constantly coming to them
from abroad there is always danger
that the disease may break out but
with the warnings sent out from the
ports of entry there would be no ex-
cuse for the local health department
to be caught unawares and little danger
of it's spread if prompt measures are
taken. Eternal vigilance is the price
Of immunity and nothing but the neg
leet of health departments will permit
the plague to get any foothold in this
country.

URGE HARBoR IMPROVEMENTS.
Kenosha Shippers Want Harbor Given

Kenosha Shippers Want Harbor Given
SINE Treatment as Racine Harbor.
Prominent Kenosha shippers are
sending letters to members of congress
asking that an appropriation be made
for the rebuilding of the Kenosha har
Dor with a view of preventing further
damage from northeast storms The
engineers believe they have solved the
problem in the Racine harbor and the
government is now spending more than
hundred thousand dollars to COM
plete the work planned in that harbor.
Similar work is needed in Kenosha and
it is thought possible that it will be
ordered at the next session of congress.
The appropriation made for the Ke-
nosha harbor in the last rivers and
harbors bill is not sufficient to pro-
vide for any new work in the harbor
this year.

SENDS FORMAL INVITATION.
City Attorney Stewart Acting for Coun,
Gil Invites Municipal League.

City Attorney Calvin Stewart, acting
for the common councl of Kenosha,
this morning sent formal invitation
to the Wisconsin League of Munich
palities asking that the next annual SEES
sions of the league be held in Kenosha
The invitation is a most cordial one
and is backed by the business men of
the city who promise to make Kenosha
an open harbor for the city officials
in 1912 if the league should vote to
come to this city. AS far as can be
learned no other city in the state has
extended formal invitation to the
league for next year. Mayor M. J.
Scholey left this afternoon for Superior
to attend the sessions of the annual
meeting and he will personally present
the invitation Of Kenosha to the
league.
1t Kenosha wins the convention she
will have as her guests next July more
than 800 of the leading officials OF
cities in Wisconsin and the people of
the city will have chance to hear
discussions of live topics relating to
the advancement of the cities of the
state. Racine entertained the league
four years ago and since that time the
sessions have all been held in cities
in the northern and northeastern part
of the state and for this reason it is
thought that the chances of Kenosha

In their anxiety that the newly
created board Of public works should
have a valid excuse for working as
many days as the members care to put
in at the expense of the state, the
legislators provided them with a task
warranted to fill in all their spare
time. One thing the board has to do is
to study out the cause of the high cost
of living and report some kind Of a
remedy at the next session of the
legislature.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1911-07-27

securing the convention for next year
are unusually good. Kenosha is proud
OF her new city hall and the council
chamber would make a great place for
the holding of the sessions Of the
league.
1t is probable that some decision as
to the place of holding the next gath
ering of the league will be made ON
Thursday. Several of the members of
the common council are planning to 90
to Superior tomorrow to urge the in
vitation of Kenosha as the next con-
vention city.
