LONG AT HEAD OF BIG PLANT
Started Work When Nineteen Years of
Age and Holds Record for Long
Period Of Service in Single "Job'
Still Active in Business.
IRON Monday S Daily

There are a lot of men in Kenosha
who have held positions with the big
industrial institutions of the city for a
Term Of twenty years, smaller num-
Der have records Of twenty-five years, a
few thirty years and one or two fifty
years but George Yule, the president of
the Balm Wagon company, has probably
the most unique record Of any man in
responsible position with any big
manufacturing concern in the country.
Today, Mr.. Yule rounded out his sew
enty-frst year in the employ Of the
Balm Wagon company.
For seventy-one years he has had just
the one employer and most of the time
that he has been connected with the
company his position has been one Of
great influence. Mr.. Yule was at his
office today just as early as any Of the
employees Of the company and the fact
that he was ready to start on seventy
second year seemed to have no effect on
him whatever.
Mr.. Yule came Of good old Scotch
ancestry and the stickto-it principle of
the Scotch has been plainly visible in
his long connection with the big Ke-
nosba manufacturing company. Seven
ty-one years ago tomorrow, July |, 1912
he came into Kenosha from his father s
farm in the town of Somers. He had
worked for three years on the farm and
had reached the conclusion that he
liked manufacturing better than farm
ing. The first place he stopped when
he came into Southport was at the plant
Of Henry Mitchell, a pioneer wagon
maker. At that time the Mitchell and
Quarles company had only few en-
ployees, but Mr. Mitchell decided to put
young YIle to work. In a short time
he had worked himself up to place
where he was considered one Of the best
wagon makers in the employ of the
company and when the late Edward
Balm purchased the Mitchell and Quar-
les interests IN 1852 he named Mr.. Yule
as superintendent Of the plant. For
thirty years he served in this capae ty
and in 1882 when the company was in
corporated under the name Of the Balm
Wagon eompay, Mr.. 1ule was elected
vico,president Of the company. He still
continued to act in the capacity Of gen
eral superintendent. In 1899 there were

WILL TALK PENSIONS.
Civil Service Employees of Racine
and Kenosha to Meet.

The matter Of pensioning govern
ment employees, especially letter car
riers, postal clerks. railway mail serv-
ice clerks and other employees, who
are under civil service, will be taken
up at a meeting to be held on Satur-
day evening at Schulte's Hall, Main

7, c. Schwartz, of Chicago, treasurer
Of the National Association of Civil
Service Employees, and z. A. Cords, Of
Evanston, H., also an officer Of the
association, will address the govern
ment civil service employees of Racine
and Kenosha counties. The meeting
viii be called as soon after S clock
as possible, and every government
civil service employee in Racine and
Kenosha counties is invited to be pres
emf. The civil service employees are
seeking to have congress enact law
which will provide a retirement fund
for them and which will permit of
their receiving a pension after GER
tain term of service, probably not less
than twenty-five years, and pension
also to be paid if civil employee is
injured while in the performance
Of his, duty.
The plan is being taken up by all
government employees, under civil
service and if possible bill will be
offered at the next session of congress
which viii provide for pensions for
letter carriers, postofice clerks, rail
way mail clerks and employees in the
light house. An effort will also be
made to have a pension fund created
for men in the United States life
saving service.

END OF SMALL POx SCARE.
Health Commissioner Removes Quaran-
tine Signs at Greenwood Home Today

Kenosha s small pox scare ended
this afternoon when Health Commits
sioner DR.. j. j McShane removed the
last Of the red signs. This was on
the home Of Adam Greenwood on Park
Court and Mrs. Greenwood, the patient,
had entirely recovered. s We have no
reason to believe that there will be
any more cases of the disease in the
city, said Dr. McShane this morning.
We have carefully followed up every
case in which any one was exposed to
the disease and 1t has been more than
two weeks since these people We're ex-
posed and not one of them has shown
any signs of small pox or any kindred
disease. OF course there may be cases
developed in the future, but we do not
expect them. The small pox scare has
been Of value to the people Of Keno
sha on account of the fact that a large
number of the children have been
vaceinated and this will mean a per-
manert benefit to the people. =

WANT OWNERS TO AGREE
Committee Finds That the Street origin
ally Plated at Sc Feet is Now Only a
Little Over Half the Original Width
Arbitration Is Suggested.

Members of the judiciary committee
Of the common council are making an
effort to clean up an old municipal
problem which has bothered the Of
ficials of the city for more than twenty
years and at the next meeting of the
council the committee will report on a
plan for settling the street lines Of the
street known as Maiden Lane. The
action of the committee was taken at
the request of property owners on the
street and the committee under the
direction Of Alderman Mueller of the
fifth ward has spent lot of time and
energy in an effort to find some way
to meet the demands Of the property
owners and at the same time conserve
the interests of the entire city. The
report of the committee will recon-
mend change in the street lines either
by mutual consent of the property
owners or by arbitration.
In the days when Kenosha was
Southport, Maiden Lane was one of
the streets of the village and the orr
ginal plat shows that it was laid out
to width of sixty-six feet. Maiden
Lane came into the map of Kenosha
as a sixty-six foot street, but as TIE
years passed the property owners along
the street encroached on it until at
the present time the committee finds
that at the south end of the street it
has a width of but thirty-seyen feet
while at the north end the width is
close to forty-eight feet. The greater
part Of the encroachment on the street
has been on the part Of property own
ers residing along the west side and
in most cases the buildings owned by
these people have occupied a portion
of the street for a period Of consider
! able over twerty years. The commit
tee has gone into the legal phase of
the matter with the city attorney and
has been advised that adverse posses
sion Of street for more than twenty
years does not convey title. The city
attorney has held that the city would
have the right to open the street to its
full width of sixty-six feet. The COM
mittee, however, seeks a peaceful set
Element of the difficulty and to this
end it will suggest a general conyen-
tion of all property owners on the
street with view Of opening the

BOXING BILL PASSES SENATE.
One Amendment is Tackled on to He'd
ding Bill Before it is Sent Back.

The Hedding boxing bill, providing
for ten round boxing boats in Wiscon-
sin, to be under the direct supervision
Of commission, was passed by the F9n-
ate on Thursday W vote Of 10 to 70
By unanimous consent Senator hophy
introduced an amendment to the bill
which provides that the sale of liquor
in buildings where boxing matches are
staged be prohibited at all times, in
stead Of just when boxing bouts are be-
ing held as the original reading stood.
This amendment was adopted and the
bill put to vote in quick time. The
bill must now 90 back to the assembly
which will vote on the Zophy amend
ment. Tt is expected that it will meet
with little or no opposition in this quar-
ter, and should be in the hands Of the
governor some time next week to re-
ceive his signature.
Considerable opposition developed
after the reading of the bill in the SEN
ate, Senators Otto Basshardt and
Howard Teasdale speaking against the
measure. Senator Teasdale said that if
boxing was as good sport as it is held
to be by the hackers Of the bill, it
should be taught in the state univer-
sity.
Senators Ackley and E. +. Kileen
spoke for the bill Senator Kileen say
ing that the legislature could not legal
ize boxing as that was legal now, but
chat the passage of the bill would regu-
late the game so that the sport could
be put on safe foundation.

Former Head of Chicago &
Milwaukee Takes Bankers
Over Line on Saturday
MAY HANDLE ROAD AGAIN

Albert G. Frost, former president
and general manager of the Chicago
and Milwaukee Electric Railway, was
in Kenosha on Saturday afternoon
with party of men who are interest
ed in the reorganization of the rail
way company. 1t is said that the
party was made up largely of Cana
dams who have been active in the
financing of the plans of Mr.. Frost in
the past. The party travelled in a
special car and stopped for only a
few minutes at Kenosha. Mr.. Frost
is making no statements in regard to
his plans, but he has admitted that he
is interested in the reorganization of
the road and is hopeful that under the
reorganization the government of it
will again be placed in his hands. 1t
is expected that the second sale of the
road recently ordered by the United
States court will be held next week
and it is certain that Frost and his
friends will be active in the bidding
for the line on the second sale.
Since the recent trial of Frost in
the United States court which resulted
In his vindication he has been in Cana
da seeking to interest some of his
former hackers in the electric railway.
1t is declared that he has been success
full in the negotiations and that several
of these men have declared that they
are willing to aid him in his efforts to
recover the property. The trip of
Frost along the lines of the company
on Saturday was like the return of a
eonqueror. All along the lines the en-
ployes Of the company greeted Frost
with cheers. He was the most popular
man with employees ever connected
with railway company in this section
and it is certain that he has the back

company in his effort to again secure
control of the road.
1t is said that the same interests
which were interested in the former
sale of the road will be active when
the second sale is held. It is certain
however, that the second sale will
bring a much larger price for the

street by mutual agreement.
It is thought that a fifty foot street
would be satisfactory to all parties
concerned and this could be secured
with but little interference with exist
ing buildings. 1t would Of course de.
mand the moving of some Of the build
ings. The second plan suggested by
the committee is arbitration If an
agreement can be reached as to the
street lines by the property owners it
is pretty certain that the city council
would be willing to pass an ordinance
which would legalize and make per

other changes in the company and with
record of fifty years of continued sue
cess Mr.. Yulo was elected as president
of the company. Later on the heirs of
the late Edward Balm retired from the
management of the big plant and Mr..
Yule became not only president of the
company but the principal owner of the
stock of the concern.
In the seventy years that Mr.. Yule
has been in one position he has seen
great changes in the art of the wagon
maker. When he went to work for the
company way back in the anti-bellum
days ali portions of the wagons were
built by hand and the output was only
a few wagons a year. The plant now
turns out thousands of wagons yearly.
The success of the Balm plant which
is now one of the greatest of the great
wagon making concerns has been large
" due to the wise management provid-
ed for the firm by Mr.. Yule.
Although nearly SO years Of age,
President Yule has no intention of re-
firing from active work at the head
of the company and his firm control
on every portion of the business is just
as strong today as it was nearly so
years ago when he was serving as super
intendent of the plant.
Mr.. Yule was kept busy today re-
ceiving the congratulations Of his many
friends on his breaking of all records
for years Of service
