February Proves Busiest in
History of Workman's
Commission in State.
NO TROUBLE WITH COMPLAINTS

February takes first place in the
history up-to-date of workmen S COM
pensation in Wisconsin. In the twenty
eight days of this month ninety-two
employers have filed their acceptance
Of the act which sets forth a definite
schedule of compensation to workers
who suffer injury in the course of their
employment or to dependents of work
ers who fall victims to Industrial haz-
ards. This is the largest number of
elections in any month since the act
became operative in September, 1911
The February elections represent {, 186
employees, making total of 89,096
working people who are assured ade-
quate compensation in the event of
serious injury or death caused by a
work accident.
The elections registered in the indus
trial commission s records now reach
a total Of 172 and these apply to ,442
places of employment. Every city and
every county in Wisconsin is includ-
ed in the> list.
Although the increase in the cleo
tions under the act is greater than
foreseen by the industrial commission,
which administers this law they have
,,nA ho a4fi h
for as long ago as September, 1911,
the department heads installed an
elastic system which covered every
possible contingency; for this reason
the great increase in volume of bust
ness has been handled without addi-
tional help or expense,
The notable increase-the number
of employers who are accepting the
terms Of the act, is attributed by the
commissioners to several concrete
causes. One of the chief causes is the
rapidly diminishing fear on the part
Of employers who, because Of incor-
rect information or misunderstanding,
hesitated to change their business
policy. The commission S bulletins
and members of the field force also
have made it clearer that the compen-
sation act is beneficial both to employ
er and employed because it eliminates
the former waste of money, time and
energy occasioned by damage suits.
Employers and workmen are begin
ming to understand that they are as
sred square deal by working direct
with one another or through the COM
mission without the Intervention of
agencies which consider first of all
their own pecuniary interests.
The changed attitude Of the insur-
ance companies following a general
Production in rates under the campen-
sation act has contributed to the in
crease in aceeptanees, and the lorna
tion of another employers mutual in
surance company has also brought
many more employers under the law
with prospects Of scores to follow.

Not FOR LAKE SHORE LEAGUE
Manager of Team Made up of the Pick
of Amateur Teams in City Declares
That the Team Will Not go Into Old
League but Play Independent Ball.

Cheer up: Kenosha is going to have
a real baseball team this year and an
nouncement is made that within an
other month the members of the Ke-
n@sha baseball club will be ready to
trot on the diamond and meet all com
ers. The new team is to have a bunch
of the best amateurs of the city and
it is the first s5rictly Kenosha y
baseball team since the days of the old
Park City team. j Leuck is the man
age1 of the team and it is 10 have a
full schedule of games during the com
ing baseball season. The home dia
mond will be the north side diamond
and it will be put in perfect condition
and the grand stand will be enlarged
and made more comfortable for the
fans.
Manager Leuck is already making
up his schedule of games for the sea-
son. He has declined to accept a place
in the Lake Shore League, declaring
that the people Of Kenosha would pre-
fer to have team playing independent
ball. With the lineup promised for the
new team it will be able to give any
team in this section of the country a
real run for the money and Manager
Leuck is convinced that he will have
no trouble getting games.
In the makeup of the new team
which is to represent the entire city
the manager has secured some of the
best men from the Pirates, Riversides,
Lake Views and Somers Greys. The
pitchers selected are Christ Birch of
the Somers Greys and e. Lindstrom of
the Lake Views. Will Birch of the
Somers team is named to catch for
the team. In the infeld will be Werve
of the Pirates at shortstop, Williams
of the Pirates at first base, Binninger
of the Lake Views on second and
Thomas Of the Pirates at third The
outfelders include Hoffman Of the
Pirates in the left garden. Rupp of
the Riversides in center and Capt.
Leuek of the Riversides in right field,
The uniforms for the new team have
already been ordered and in the near
future the team will give a dance to
provide a fund to take care of inn
provements planned for the grounds.
It has been three years since Keno
sha has had a baseball team represen-
tative Of the entire city and it can be
said with a certainty that the hungry
fans will be glad to know that some
real baseball is to be offered during
the coming season.

REACH AGREEMENT ON FRIDAY
Wisconsin Sugar Beet Company of Me
nominee Falls, Wis, Finally Agrees
to Meet Demands of New Association
and First Contracts Signed Friday.


The Racine Kenosha County Beet
Growers Association has won its first
victory as 1T is announced today that
terms have been reached between the
officials Of the association aud the Of
fcers of the Menominee Falls factory
Of the Wisconsin Sugar Beet Company
which will insure to the growers in the
new season much better contracts than
in former seasons AS a result Of this
agreement it is thought that practical
ly all of the beet growers in the two
counties will make contracts with the
company for the season. In past sea-
sons nearly all Of the beets raised in
Kenosha county have been sold to the
Rock County Sugar Beet Company at
GAINESVILLE.
The agreement was reached at a
meeting held at Corliss on Friday af-
ternoon at which the growers were
represented by President A. j. Piper
and Secretary John Herzog, both of
the town Of Somers.
Under the contract the growers are
to receive $3.50 per ton on their beets
aboard the cars at the loading station;
also to be tarred and weighed at the
loading station This is for the months
of September and October, but for the
months of November So is to be paid
per ton under similar conditions The
freight is to be paid by the company.
The first contract called for paying
the growers 1913 per ton, tarred and
weighed at the factory and the grow
er to pay railway freight.
It is probable that other beet COM
panies in the state will now come to
the terms Of the association, but it is
also probable that the officials of the
association will seek to1have the mem
bers in Kenosha and Racine counties
contract with the Menominee Falls
company until that company has made
all the contracts it can handle in the
season. The cigning Of the contracts
promise to gi e a big impetus to the
sugar beet industry in the two coun-
ties It is claimed that under this form
of a contract the farmers will be as
sured Of a square deal and that under
the prices offered the raising of the
beets will be made distinctly profit
able.
Full details of the terms of the
agreements will be sent to the individ-
ual growers within the next few days.

HIGH SCHOOL SHOWS DEMAND
Fire Chief Is Anxious That the Ccun-
Gil Take Immediate Action and the
Mayor is Asked to Call a, Special
Session to Consider Code.

A determined effort is to be made at
the next meeting Of the common coun-
ell to secure consideration of a new
building ordinance for the city. The
ordinance drawn by a commission near
" five years ago viii be brought be-
fore the council and if the members
Of that body are unwilling to consider
this ordinance demand will be made
that committee be named to draft
q new building ordinance which will
meet with the demands of the growing
city and insure some stability in
buildings built for the city and at the
same time give the proper officials
some power to regulate the building
operations in the city.
The recent discoveries in regard to
the Kenosha high school building have
impressed upon the minds Of members
Of the council the necessity of a.build-
inc code for the city. Today the
chief of the fire department faced a
hard problem when complaints were
made against the rebuilding of the
building owned by Fred Elk on How
land avenue which was recently de-
etroyed by fire. Elk has settled with
the insurance companies and the build
ing is being rebuilt. Old lumber and
other old material is being used in the
construction of it and this brought
complaints. Chief Isermann declared
that the building would be grotesque
when it is completed, but he declared
that he had no power to object to
the manner of the rebuilding.
All of the troubles that have arisen
would be taken care Of by the city
adopting a proper building code.
There is no doubt as to the sufficiency
of the code proposed by the commits
sion acting at the order of the com
mon council but the objection raised
to it is that it is not sufficiently com
pact for use in city the size of Ke-
nosha. This ordinance has had one
reading before the common council
but few of the members of the present
council are in any way familiar with
the provisions Of the ordinance.
Mayor Head will be asked to call a
special meeting of the council for the
consideration of the building code and
ii after it has been read to the coun-
ell the aldermen are unwilling to vote
for the enactment of this ordinance eff
forts will be made to have new ordi-
nance drawn. Some of the aldermen
have suggested that the changing CON
''itions in the building business of the
last few years have brought new de-
mands and that for this reason the OLD
ordinance would not meet president
conditions.

Fredeek Declares That He Declined to
Accept Money Frorr wife of Man
Who Had Secured Work But That it
Was Taken by Members of Family.

William Fredeck, foreman at the n.
R. Aliens Sons tannery, arrested
week ago on charge Of accepting a
bonus of ST. from Mary Makarewitz,
after he had secured employment for
her husband Kaietan Makaremitz, was
brought befofe Judge Randall for a
hearing on Friday afternoon The case
assumed considerable Importance and
the officials of the. n. r. Aliens Sons
Company We're present in court TO seek
the fullest examination into the facts
in the case. Fredeck made a full
statement of his connection with the
case and after this had been made
Judge Randall permitted the dismissal
of the action on the payment of the
costs and with the understanding that
Fredeck would repay to Mrs. Makare-
WITT the money alleged to have been
given to him.
In his story to the court Fredeck
declared that he had never demanded
or accepted any money in return for
the employment of any one at the tan
merry. He declared that Makarewitz
had been employed at the plant and
that his wife had come to his home
and after talking with him in regard
to employment for her husband had
given two children in his household a
dollar each with the understanding
that they would use it to buy candy.
He said that the woman then laid SO
down on the table where he was sit
ting, but he had declared to her that
he did not want the money and would
not accept it. lie said that the woman
had left the money on the table and
that it had been picked up by his
mother-in-law and spent by her. In
regard to ten dollars alleged to have
been paid to him by Makarewitz,
Fredeck declared that this had been
given to him as % Christmas present
and that he had accepted it as such.
He declared that it had not been I'M
common for the men employed in the
plant to make gifts Of money and
other articles to the foremen at Christ
mas time Fredeck repeatedly declar-
ed that there had been no mention of
work made at the time this money was
given to- him 70 "a Christmas present.
The officials of the company inform
eo the court that stringent orders had
been issued to the men employed in
the tannery providing for the dis
charge Of any one demanding money
for employing laborers and that this
notice had also been given to every
man employed at the plant at the time
payments for labor were made. The Of
fcials of the company regard Fredeck
as valuable man but they demanded
however that the full facts in regard
to the case be brought out.
District Attorney Drury in making
the motion for the dismissal of the
case on the payment of the costs, de-
clared that the state was satisfied
with this termination of the case. He
declared after the hearing that the
other cases brought to his notice would
be prosecuted with full vigor and that
prosecutions would be continued until
every man employed in the Kenoshs
factories, who acted as labor commits
sioner and accepted commissions fol
securing employment, had been brough,
into court and punished.

The formation of an Audubon class
for the study and protection of the
birds, in one Of the rooms of the Frank
school, is a move in the right direc-
ton and the formation Of these classes
should be encouraged in all of the
schools of the city. It is the most eff
fective measure that could be taken
for the protection of the binds and
one that will, if properly fostered, ac-
complish more for bird life than any
work that could be done by the game
wardens and the humane society
officers.
