THOUSANDS AT BIG PICNIC.
Many Kenosha People go to Central
Park to Attend Annual Gathering
of Racine Retailers.

OF E6dCluG heGd1lSTS.
What is declared to be the biggest
gathering ever held at Central Park
with the exception of the " family re-
union of the Simmons Company, came
today when the sixth annual outing Of
the Racine Retailers Association was
held at the park. At two o'clock the
park was filed to overlooking and cars
loaded to the doors were arriving every
few minutes from Racine and from Ke-
nosha There were men and women and
children and everybody was on pleasure
bent The members of the Kenosha Re
tailers Association were not slow to
accept the invitation of their Racine
friends and hundreds of Kenosha re-
tailers went out to swell the big crowd
at the park. The program which had
been arranged for the afternoon was a
notable one. There were all sorts of
games and amusements with a couple
of ball games between Racine and Ke-
nosha merchants. Then there was
shooting match which was the inno-
walton for the year. Tonight there
will be the big annual ball and it will
continue until early morning. 1t is ex-
pected that the dance will draw a
crowd of more than a thousand people.

CITY ACCEDEs TO DEMANDS
General Wedding Out of Poor Men TO
Follow and City Will Seek to Get Full
Value for Money of the People Paid
the Laborers-F Fear Other Trouble.

Demanding a nine-hour day with an
agreement for ten-hour pay, twenty-five
men in the employ of the Kenosha City
Water Company went on a strike this
morning and deserted the trenches in
which water mains are being placed in
all parts of the city.
It was an organized movement for
the nine-hour day and after an hour
of pickering with the men, the water
company agreed to meet the demand
and most of them went back to the
trenches The men have been paid at
rate from twenty-five to thirtv-two
and half cents an hour and the change
will make considerable difference in
the cost of the work now under way
for the water company.
There was no warning Of the impend-
ing labor trouble. The men came to
work at seven o 'closk this morning and
promptly informed the forenen on the
various jobs that an agreement for a
nine hour day with ten hour pay en-
velope was the only thing that would
get them into the trenches again. They
asserted that they were ready to quit
work and stay off the job for the rest
of the summer if their demands were
not granted The demand was support
ed by statement that this price was
being paid by the Wisconsin Telephone
Company and other companies who had
men at work in the trenches in the city.
The city engineer was hurriedly call
ed into conference and as there APP
peared to be no way to get men to fill
the places. of the strikers, their demand
was granted and they went back to
work
It is declared that there will be a
wedding out among the men with the
idea of keeping only such men as are
willing to give the city a real nine
hours of work. This means that a mum
Der of the old time "soldiers'' on the
job will be let out.
There is no way for us to escape
from paying the wages demanded !,
said one of the officials following the
settlement of the strike .Itjis almost
impossible for use to get men to work
IN the trenches under any consideration
and with lot of trenches open and
demand for the immediate completion
OF the work we must have the men.
The wages we will pay will be the
largest ever paid for this kind of work
In Kenosha in recent years, but the men
claim that they can get work at lot
OF other places and what they claim is
probably true. Under the new agree
ment the city is not paying the labor
ers any more than is being paid by a
lot Of other companies doing similar
YORK IN the city. We hope to adjust
the forces so as to be able to get for
the people the full worth of their money
in labor
just what effect the strike and ifs
speedy settlement will have on other
Workmen employed by the city. is a
good deal of a problem. For some time
the nine-hour day has been in demand
from all workmen of the city and it is
not improbable that the general demand
Tor shorter hours and the same nav win
be made at this time.

STRIKE ORIGINALLY
SET FOR AUGUST 20
Only Presidents Intervention Kept 1t
From Becoming Effective Then.
Leaders Say Were Invited
TO Submit TO Congress.

Washington, d. c., Sept. at de-
veloped this evening for the first time
that the strike was originally set for
August 20. Only the Presidents call
to Washington postponed this. The
men arrived in Washington August
ID The day before this was a critical
one
Only the Presidents message that
Saturday afternoon prevented the
men going home to prepare for a
strike next Monday They had bought
their transportation and were quite
ready TO leave New York" said q
leader tonight. THAT was the rea-
son the strike orders recently issued
were printed with the date August
IA The actual date of the strike
was left blank to be inserted with a
rubber stamp, as was actually done.
The railroads haye accused us OF pre-
pairing strike orders as early as August
IA thus tying to show we broke faith
with the President. AS a matter of
fact. the very dating of the order
August IA shows that We had those
slips printed before he ever sent for
us. We simply held them and used
them for the later call"
Tonight w. G. Lee said:
They say we held pistols at the
heads OF the Senators. at least some
OF themsaid SO. we ulun come mere
of our own initiative. The fight was
between us and the railroads, and
we would have carried it on in that
way. The President of the United
States sent for us and we respect
fully obeyed his invitation. 1t has
turned out happily.
I'VE sent out the order tonight be-
cause we know the President will
sign the bill. 1t is his own meas
ure.'
The four leaders will be here until
Monday or Tuesday. They say a cir
cular explaining all that has taken
place must be issued and sent to their
various chairmcn ana vicc-chatrmcn.
