TWENTY YEARS ApRIEST'
Dead Priest Was Deeply Beloved among
the People Of Kenosha and Deep sor
row is Felt in City Over His Sudden
Deatll-Burial in Milwaukee.
(From Fridays Daily

The Rev. Henry Drais, formerly pas.
tor of st. George congregation in this
city and widely known to the people
of the entire city of Kenosha, died at
the Sacred Heart Sssnitarium in Mil
waukee just after twelve o'clock to-
day after short illness from nervous
rheumatism. Announcement of the
death of Father Dreis was received
with great sorrow in this city and it
was the one topic of conversation
among many of the people of the north
side of the city this afternoon. Father
Dreis had been i'll but few days and
he had been brought from his home in
Madison to the sanitarium on Thurs
day afternoon At that time it was
believed that short rest would re-
store him to health and even his close
friends in Kenosha had not heard that
he was seriously i'll. Father Dreis had
recently returned from long trip
abroad and had since that time been
actively in charge of the work Of the
parish of the Holy Redeemer at Madi-
son. He had been complaining of ner-
vousness for some days and his friends
finally prevailed on him to give up his
work for short time and go to the
sanitarium in Milwaukee.
The deceased priest was one Of the
best known priests of the Milwaukee
diocese. Born in Milwaukee forty-nin
years ago he was a son of the late
Philip Dreis, one OF the pioneers of
Milwaukee. Three of the sons of
Philip Dreis went into the priesthood.
Father Dreis was educated at st. Fran
els Seminary and was ordained to the
priesthood more than twenty-seven
years ago He was stationed at several
of the smaller places and twenty
years ago he was sent by the bishop
to Kenosha to be assistant to his
brother, the late Rev. Joseph Dreis, in
the management of the st. George con
gregation. After the death Of Father
Joseph Dreis, Father Henry Dreis was
made pastor Of the church for a short
term until the work was turned over
to the late Father B. E1skamp. Father
Dreis went from Kenosha to Saukville
where he remained until he was trans
ferred to the church at Madison.
His work in Kenosha brought him
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1913-10-16

into close touch with the people of the
entire city and he was great fayorite
among the members of all denomina-
tons, He was man of eonsecrated
life and noble ideals and he left an
imprint on the community. He has
made many visits to Kenosha since he
gave up his work at st. George church.
Father Dreis is survived by two
brothers, the Rev, Philip Dreis, pastor
of the church at Burlington; Anton
Dreis Of Milwaukee, and six sisters,
Miss Anna Dreis of Madison, the
Misses Margaret and Catherine Dreis
of Burlington, Mrs. w. J. Hahn and
Mrs. ]. G, schimmels of Milwaukee
and Mrs, John b. Wallig of Kenosha.

CONSULAR AGENT SENDS WORD
Asks Mayer Head to Aid Government
in Locating Relatives of the Deao
Refugee in Order 60 Provide for Dis
posal of Body-Fail to Find Relatives

Mayor Dan O. Head this morning re-
ceived a telegram from Alonzo B. Bar.
rett, United States consular agent at
Laredo, Texas, announcing that Peter
Flagg, a Mexican refugee, claiming
henosha as his home, had died at
Laredo on Monday afternoon. The
consular agent asked that the relatives
OF friends of Flagg in Kenosha be noti-
fed and that they make some provision
for disposing of the remains. The tele-
gram does not give the age or oceupa-
tlon of Flagg, but states that he had
been living in Mexico for some time
and that he came across the border to
Laredo as a refugee only short time
before his death.
The mayor turned the message over
to Chief of Police 0 Hare with instruc,
lions to make an effort to locate some
OF the friends or relatives of the dead

TUBE CUTTERS WALK OUT.
Twenty Five Employees of Simmons
Mfg. Co. Quit Work on Monday,

There are new rumblings of labor
trouble at the plant of the Simmons
Manufacturing Company and twenty,
five men employed in the brass tube
cutting department left the plant on
Monday ana have not returned to work.
An effort was made to call a general
strike at the plant, the operations being
directed especially against the foundry
department, out none of the men in
that department or in any other depart
ment of the plant had shown any will
ingness to ioin the small band of strik-
ers up to late hour this afternoon.
Bills We're thrown about among the
employees of the company ON Monday
night inviting them to a meeting to ar
range for the strike, the meeting being
held at Columbia hall, but only a small
number of men were present and these
were almost entirely from the ranks of
the men who had gone out earlier in the
day. The strike of the men in the tube
cutting department did not in any way
hinder the operation of the plant and
the places of all of the men had been
filed before the committee of the strik-
ers was sent to the office of the com
pany. This committee presented large
envelope supposed to contain the griey-
ances of the men who had gone out but
the officials of the company declined to
have anthing to do with consideration
of the grievances and declared to the
committee that the men would not be
recognized as strikers, They were in
formed that no complaint had been sent
to the company and that the men had
quit their work without serving any
notice and that the places in the plant.
had been filed by other men. All of the
men out are Lithuanians It is declared
that the real cause Of the strike was
the discharge of two men by the fore
men of the departments.
supt, Rudd declared today that there
was no trouble at the plant and that
the places of the men who had gone
out had all been filed. "You could
hardly call this strike. The men sim
ply walked out and their places have
been filed by others. We have no idea
as to what the grievances of these men
are and we do not care to know. They
made no complaint to the Office and we
declined to recognize any committee
from them. We do not expect that any
other men will join them. The men ell
seem to be well satisfied with the work
now.''
