FEDERAL AID
NOT SECURED
Illinois and Zion City Must
Fight Out Completion of
Sheridan Road.
INTERESTED

That the federal highway depart
ment has no power to force the i'm
provement of the Sheridan road
through Zion City, is the report sent
to County Highway Commissioner John
Herzog this morning by the Wisconsin
State Highway commission. Commits
sioner Herzog had sought to get the
federal commission interested in the
completion of the road on the petition
of George S, Whyte, chairman of the
Chamber of Commerce in Kenosha, and
Kenosha men had sent petitions to the
federal commission seeking to Sc
cure the aid Of the commission to
get highway between Milwaukee
and Chicago completed.
Up To Illinois Commission.
In response to the suggestion of
President Whyte of the Kenosha or
ganization, the state highway commits
sion has declared that it has no power
to act in the matter and that the fed
eral commission is powerless to force
the improvement Of the road until such
time as the officials at Zion City
shall have reached an agreement with
the Illinois State Highway commission.
It is suggested that the Kenosha Cham
Der of Commerce take the matter up
directly with the Illinois commission
and it is probable that the local men
will send a petition direct to Spring
field. 1t is admitted that federal aid
can be secured for the maintenance
of the road if the people at Zion City
will agree to do their share in pay
ing the first cost of building.
Hopes For Roads Competition.
In the letter to Commissioner Her
zog,, the engineers of the Wisconsin
commission declare that they hope for
the completion Of the Sheridan road
south from Kenosha to, Chicago this
year. 1t is stated that efforts are now
being made Co reach an agreement be-,
tween the Illinois commission and the
officials at Zion City and that there is
good reason to believe that these ne
gotiations will be carried out. Mean
while the commission is acting next
week on the bids for the completion of
the concrete road between Racine and
Kenosha, all of the work to be done
in Racine county. While the bids for
this work were considered above the
average" bid, it is believed that the
contract will be let and the work be
ordered started at once.

date for the Office of president of the

bers of the board admit that there has

tion meeting. It is said that President
Jay B. GIerum is in line for reelection
and that while he is not making any
campaign for the office that he is
ready to accept it if it is offered to
him by majority of the board mem
bers.
Both Active in School Work.
Both President Glerum and Mr.. Obey
have been active in the work of the
board President Glerum is being Civ
en- credit for making big advances in
the school management of the city dur
ing his administration with two new
schools under construction and plans
laid for another to say nothing of the
building Of several portable schools.
The working out of the new teachers
schedule is also named as one of the
real accomplishments of the Glerum
administration and there has been an
unusual advance in the amount Of
work done by the schools. President
Glerum is completing his second term
as president of the board.
Commissioner Obey has served one
term as representative of the eighth
ward on the board and he has been
especially active in connection with
the building Of the Washington school.
He is chairman Of the special commit
tee in charge of this work and he has
been given considerable credit for the

time to the school as if it had been
his private enterprise.

may develop for the presidency of the
board will be an entirely friendly con-
test and that no matter which one of
the school leaders is named to lead
the board there will be no sore spots
following the election.
At the reorganization meeting Tues
day evening the board VIII name a
president and secretary. It is be-
lieved that Miss Ella Powers will be
named as secretary of the board with
out opposition. She has been regarded
as one of the most valuable officials
connected with the school adninistra-
ton in the city and no one has been
suggested as an opposing candidate.
Her work for the schools has made her
an authority on all school questions.
Push Work on New Schools.
The new board is expected to take
action on Tuesday evening to advance
the work on both of the new schools
with the understanding that they are
to be completed just as soon as posi-
BILE. 1t now appears certain that the
Washington school will be ready for
the children of the city at the opening
Of the new year in September and it
is believed that the Mckinley school
will be ready for opening by the first
of February of next year. 1t is not
anticipated that there will be any de-
lay on the buildings on account of
differences between the contractors
and the board

POLICE SECURE
ALCOHOL GALORE

John Riley, who claimed that he
came from the Great Lakes Naval
Training Station, was picked up by the
police on Main street Wednesday even
ing. He had an unusual burden as he
was toting along the street fve-gal-
lon can pretty we'll filled with alcohol.
1t was the real stuff and the police
took Riley and the can to the police
Office. That's alcohol alright" said
one police officer, as he lingeringly
held his nose over the bung of the can.
~ remember smelling some of it some
thing like year ago and know that
it is real stuff" @Bet your life, that's
good stuff" chimed in another of the
officers. at ought to be worth sixteen
dollars quart"
1t was not established that the man
had been offering the alcohol for sale
but the spout of the perfectly good
can had been broken off and it APP
peared that the can was dirty from
men trying to lift it up.
Nary a Word to Say.
Riley evidently believed that he had
prize of greatest value but he had
nothing to say as to where he had Sc
cured it. There was about three gal
Ions Of pure grain alcohol in the can,
Riley had evidently not appreciated
the value or he had not been doing
business as a sales agent as when he
was taken into custody he had a total
cash resources Of fifty cents. 1t was
thought that the man might have
stolen the alcohol from some drug
store in Kenoshs hut the police secuted
this theory as they declared that such
loss from drug store in Kenosha,
at the prevailing prices of alcohols
and everything alcoholic. would have
brought "riot" call to the depart
ment and that surrounding cities
would have been asked to Join in the
search.
Locked in the Safe.
The police were taking no chances
with the loot and they had it securely
locked in the safe in the private Office
Of Chief O'Hare and only few Of tho
particularly favored ones were allowed
to even get their noses close enough
to the broken spout to get Whit Of
the "previeus to July 1st" odor.
The police held that it was possible
that the man had secured the can Of
alcohol at the government stores at
the Great Lakes Naval Station and the
officials there were asked to make an
investigation and see lust how much
of the government supply was missing.
Meantime they were asked TO send
someone to Kenosha to take Riley back
for trial.

''CAN'T-STRIKE"
LAWS
Prove Big Failure in Aus
tralia

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Anti-strike legislation, compulsory
arbitration in various forms, and
wages by law have failed to fulfill
their widely heralded purpose in Aus
tralia, and the government has called
a conference of employers and en-
ployes throughout the commonwealth.
The call states that an effort will be
made to arrive at a better under
standing between the two parties, and
that the solution of the question is
mainly in their hands. 1t is hoped
that as result of frank and annie
able discussion the proposed confer
ence will succeed in formulating a
basis of legislative or administration
action that will tend to improve the
relations between employer and en-
ploye. Australian trade unions and
employers organizations are asked to
be represented at the conference.
The failure Of the present system to
stop strikes and social unrest is indi
Gated by recent report issued by the
employers federation Of five Austral-
ian states This report said:
1T is obvious, after an experience
of 20 years, that our industrial laws
have lamentably failed to secure in
dustrial peace" and that during the
six years from 1913 to 1918, inclu-
sive, there were 2,153 strikes in the
commonwealth. The number of
workers involved numbered COS, ,176
The report also stated that lit is
freely and fully recognized that the
efforts of trade unions to improve the
status of their members, financially
and otherwise, are legitimate and de-
sirable" The main reason for work
ers' unrest, the employers said,
would seem to be based on the as
siduous PRONUNCIATION Of the belief
that the workers should receive a
larger share Of the profits of the IN
dustry, and thus add to the amount
received in the way of wages"

Governor Stephens said that 20

day the population is 87,279.
"The japanese are not of a servile

ard history they brook no suggestion
of any dominant or superior race
And it is just because they possess
these attributes and feel more keenly
the social and race barriers which our
