SEE BIG DANGER
OF GAS FAMINE
Strike In Racine Forces Ke-
nosha To Depend On Old
Plant For Gas Supply
Today.
ALL AID IS CUT OFF NOW
Manager of the Company Hopes To Be
Able 10 Meet Demand of the City But
Admits That He rs Anxious Over
the Outcome Of It AL

Be saving Of the gas today and for
days to come. Kenosha has been
thrown on its own resorces for a gas
supply and the officers of the Wiscon-
sin Gas and Electric Company are
anxiously watching the disappearing
supply. For the first time in many
years every bit Of gas used in Kenosha
must be furnished from the local plant.
The supply which has been coming
from Racine has been entirely shut off
on account Of strike of sixty-four en-
ployees of the company at the Racine
plant and while Racine is facing fam
inc it is not going TO be possible to
send a foot of gas to Kenosha.
81 don t know how we are going to
come OUT said Manager Everett Of
the company this morning. 3Its the
first time we have been called upon to
meet this entire demand Of the city Of
Kenosha and we are anxious in re-
gard to the outcome. We have been
notified that the supply from Racine
| is entirely shut off and we have no
idea when we can hope for resump-
ton Of this service. We are working
the local plant night and day in hopes
that we will be able to meet the de-
mand but we must have some co-opera-
ton from the people to avoid a gas
shortage. There is no labor trouble
here and we have no reason at this
time to anticipate any. As long as
this plant keeps going we hope to be
able to supply the demands Of the peo-
pie Of KenoshaO
At a recent meeting in Kenosha
President Mortimer stated that practic-
ally ninety-five per cent Of the gas
used in Kenosha was piped into the
city from Racine. Both the company
and the men striking have given out
statements of their position in the
mater and these statements indicate
a wide difference between the two and
lit was declared in messages from Ra-
cine today that settlement of the
trouble was not in sight at noon to-
day.
The officials Of the company declared
that they have made concessions de-
manded by the men but the men con-
tend that this statement Of the ques-
ton is not correct

CALL Meeting
FOR DECISION
Milwaukee Avenue Resi-
dents At Schlitz Hall To-
night May Open Way For
Big Cars.
WOULD BURY The RATCHET
Guarantee of Damages Is Hinted AS the
Final Wedge To Make Possible I'M
provement Of transportation Facil-
tiles Of the City.
WOULD BURY The RATCHET

Id &
There may be an added feature to the
celebration Of the Fourth of July in
Kenosha and that added feature may
be the operation Of the interurban
cars all the way from Milwaukee to
Market Square in Kenosha.
A call to bury the Ratchet and to
get together for the advancement Of
Kenosha has been sent to every proper
ty owner on Milwaukee avenue and
North Main street and these people are
meeting at Schlitz Hall this evening
with a view Of attempting to set
tie once and for all the question Of
the big cars
This is not going to be a conference
between the officials of the railway
company and the property owners, but
a meeting of the property owners among
themselves in an effort to agree to ex-
tend the olive branch and make it pos
sible for the city to come into its own
and have proper transportation over
the interurban lines.
1t is announced that the company
is willing to put on a real service and
this service will start the minute the
people Of Milwaukee avenue and North
Main street agree to lift the bars
which have held the ears out of the
city. The appeal is being made in the
name Of home town patriotism and it is
declared that every one of the men who
h Ok
big cars coming into the city will be on
hand and will be ready to do their part
in reaching a compromise agreement.
1t is limited that an offer or a guar
antee for all damages which may result
from the operation of the cars will be
made to the property owners and that
this guarantee will not be offered in
the name Of some company but in the
name Of one Of the big men Of the city
who want to see Kenosha advance and
advance along right lines.
The conference this evening is re-
garded as one Of the most important
meetings ever held in the city in con-
|nection with the solution of the trans
portation problem. It's get to-
gether meeting with view Of having
an agreement among the property own
ers themselves which will be based on
fairness to all and fairness to the city.
The meeting is to be held at eight
clock. Milwaukee avenue and
North Main street is not going to hold
UP the progress of Kenosha, declared
one of the interested property owners
today. All the people on these streets
want is a guarantee that their rights
viii be protected and if they have this
guarantee the big cars will be operat-
ing into Kenosha on next Friday as
one of the features of the Fourth of
July celebration. This meeting means
business and we mean business as citi-
zens of Kenosha and not as people in
terested in sectional lines. There will
be lot of men there who have been
opposed to the coming of the big cars
but who will be ready to give up that
opposition for the best interests of
their home town.

KENOSHA NOW HAS
ITS VICTORY WAY''
Stately Columns Surrounded With
Statutes Make Market Square a
Little Michigan Avenue.

Chicago is not the only city that can
have an impressive "Victory Wayn
with columns, flags, and everything.
Kenosha has one, too, even if it is hard
" 50 long or 50 richly gilded as its
more famous counterpart in the great
mid-western metropolis.
The lowered lawn in Market Square
has been transformed today as a part Of
the preparations for the Welcome Home
for the men who followed the flag.
White columns, at least approximate
ing marble, now flank the beds Of colias
and geraniums and give touch Of
solemn grandeur to the natural beauty
of velvet lawns, shrubbery, and flowers.
Each column is inscribed with the name
Of on American victory in France.
The Roll of Honor includes Cantignv,
Seicheprey, Belleau Wood, Chateau
Thierry, Fismes, Fismette, Rouge
Bouquet, st. Mihiel, the Argonne, the
Marine, Verdun, and Sedan.
Surmounting each column is a. figure
in quasi-marble representing the iubi-
liant spirit Of "Peace With Victory.
Flags and shields in red, white, and
blue, give an Glorious n coloring
to the "Victory Ways without at the
same time cluttering it with tawdry
tinsel or gaudy festoonery such as
would mar the quiet simplicity of it
and suggest that the whole affair was
only camoudage.
