START A DRIVE AGAINST
ALL ARMY SLACKERS
Police Rounding Up Many Men Who
are Alleged to Have Made False
Statements as to Ages.

The police department Of the city
started new drive against slackers
this morning and long list of names
was in the hands OF the officers and
every one of these men were slated for
arrest on a charge of failure to regis
ter The first man to be picked up
was Walter Bielskis.
According to the police a report of
an employment bureau showed that he
was twenty years old three years ago
and he claimed today to still be twenty
He had 1888 in his pocket and most OF
it was in gold coin. He is held pending
the action of federal officials.
Employment bureau records and fac
tory lists have been searched in an eff,
fort to get the slackers. One man who
was twenty-three years old three years
ago is now found to be thirty-two; an
other who was twenty-five years ago
now declares he is nineteen, and there
is list of twenty similar cases. These
men will be forced to get evidence to
show that they are not of draft age
or they viii be forced into immediate
service in the army. The crusade
against the slackers will keep the po-
lice busy for several days.

NO SHIPS FOR DUTCH
U. S. Notifies Holland to Send
Own Craft for Grain.
Netherlands Government Prohibits
Departure of Vessels-Germany
Back OF Move.

Washington, May 22.-Holland has
been notified by the United States gov
eminent that its request for three
ships now in American ports to carry
the balance Of the grain promised 1t
by President Wilson cannot be grant
ed, and that to prevent further delay
In the movement of the grain Dutch
ships should be sent for it at once.
The fact that this step had been
taken became known soon after the re-
ceipt of press dispatches announcing
that the Netherlands government had
prohibited the departure of Dutch
ships from it's ports. Officials were at
loss to understand the meaning of
Hollands action, though it was as
sumed that the attitude of Germany
was responsible.

OUT ON STRIKE

working so as to take care of the city
and ninety per cent of our work out
side the railway and street workis be-
ing carried on These men who have
taken out cars this morning have gone
out with the understanding that the
adjustment is being worked on and
that a report will be given just as
soon as possible.''
Leaders among the men declared
with Mr.. Calendar that there was
no bitterness 1--WE feel that we
must have more money if we are going
to continue to live and work In Keno
sha, said one Of the men. "We feel
that it is only fair for us to receive a
wage equal to the wage paid to the
workers on the street employed by the
city. We have not asked for this
much and certainly the people and the
officials of the company can not sug-
gest that the demand is an unfair one.
We are not seeking to interfere in
any way with the continued operation
of the utilities Of the company"
Other officials of the company said
that the only feeling there was against
the strike was that the men had not
submitted the matter to arbitration
before walking out. They held that
this had been expected by the company.
There was no trouble on the Racine
lines Of the company today and it was
admitted that the railway workers
there had received the increase to
thirty-fve cents an hour which had
been granted to the Milwaukee en-
ployees of the company some time ago.
The strike brought lot of hardships
in Kenosha. Hundreds of people were
late at work this morning because they
waited in vain for the street cars. The
jitneys had not been advised Of the
strike and they were not on the job
and there was no way for Transports
ton. 1t was expected that sufficient
cars would be in operation by tonight
to take care of most Of the traffic.
The strike is unusual one in that
the claims of the men who are strik-
ing are not denied very strenuously
by their employers. The only ans
wer is that "The business viii not
stand increased wages
There was no material change in the
situation this afternoon. Just after
one O'Clock employees of the company
went into session at Schlitz Hall and it
was thought possible that out of this
meeting some suggestion of a settlement
would come. Officials of the company
were not in attendance at the meeting
and at the Offices of the company it was
said that the officials had no official
announcement that the meeting was
to be held.

are receiving eighty-fvd dollars a

frankly told the men that be would not

that he had no power to N axe such an
agreement. He sid tn t he would
