TOR open SHOP P"
Open Shop" to Be Estab-
lished in Building Here If
eStrike Is Not Ended.
STARTS ON FRIDAY

Another step was taken towards the
establishment Of an open shop policy
in the building trades of Kenosha to-
day when the contractors served notice
on the striking carpenters that they
would be forced to seek non union
carpenters Immediately unless the
union carpenters returned to work at
the old wage by Friday morning. The
same action was taken by the painting
contractors regarding the strike threat
ened by their painters and it is be-
lieved certain that the decision will
result in the opening of the building
operations of the city on an "open
shop" policy.
The announcement, according to the
carpenters, will only add fuel to the
fire and will make them more deter
mined to secure the increase in wages
which they recently demanded.
Give Ont Statement.
The master builders, an organization
of the contractors, met Tuesday even
ing at their hall in the Chamber of
Commerce building and after a thor
ough discussion. of the situation voted
unanimously to announce their plan to
finish work under an "open shop" poll
cy if the carpenters remained on
strike after Friday.
Their formal statement, given out by
Sydney N. Jones', the president, and
Peter Knudsen, the secretary of the
organization, is as follows:
Notice to the Public.
"The painters union of Kenosha
voted to raise their wages from $500
per day to $1,000 per day, to take effect
on September LIST. On September 18th
the carpenters raised their wage scale
from 5000 per day to $1,000 per day,
to take effect on October 1, 1920. These
trades are now striking to enforce
these demands. The Master Builders
association Of Kenosha, composed of
seventy-three of the employers of the
various branches of the building in
dustry in this city, feel that these two
unions are unfair in asking this in
crease at this time, when the price of
raw material and commodities are on
IlG QGCl1uGs W nave OGCA u4IeNDA6 "
avince the officials of these unions
that it is unjust to themselves and the
public to enforce these demands. The
Master Builders association will en-
deavor to finish their work under the
open shop plan unless the painters
and carpenters resume work on Friday
morning at the same scale Of wages in
force on August S0th."
Blame Union Officials.
The contractors insist that they be-
lieve the greater number of the car
penters are not in sympathy with the
stand that the officials of the unions
have taken and declare that they will
welcome an opportunity to explain the
entire situation to the unions.
On the other hand the carpenters
officials declare that they are acting
with the full sanction of their local
and that the attempt to. establish an
open shop policy in Kenosha will only
result in further disagreement. The
contractors declare that they are. be-
ing forced to take this action as it
would be impossible for them to meet
the present demands of the union and
that they must continue work on the

FUNERAL HALTS
BERGSTR0M TRIAL
Mrs. Carrie Bergstrom Taken I'll But
Appears for Comfort to Son
Charged With Murder.
(By a special Correspondent


Laramie-The morning session of
the trial of Roy Bergstrom, Kenosha
man, charged with the murder of his
wife, Gladys Macarthur Bergstrom, was
shortened to admit Attorney Sullivan,
who with Robert Verne Baker of Ke
nosha, is defending Bergstrom to at
tend a funeral. He was a pail bearer
at the funeral of the Rev. Father Cum
miskey. Court did not reconvene until
two o'clock this afternoon.
The defense rested in the case late
Tuesday afternoon and the state be-
gan introducing testimony in rebuttal
to break down the testimony of wit
nesses for the defense who had testi-
fed to the "queerness" of the defen-
dant. This morning at the short ses-
sion of the trial the state continued
the attack upon the witnesses of the
defense with Indifferent success.
Night Session for Argument.
At this time it appears certain that
the case will not reach the jury until
after a night session when the argu-
ments for both sides will be made.
The state was to call an alienist to
the stand this afternoon and his cross
examination by Mr. Baker was ex-
pected to take up at least an hour.
Mrs. Bergstrom, mother of the de-
PENDANT, was i'll last night and for the
first time since the beginning of the
trial she was not in court when it was
opened. She did not appear until ten
o'clock and then she appeared very
weary, She had been crying most of
the night, it was said.

buildings now in the process of being
erected. They maintain that, in the
case of the Mckinley school, it ap-
pears that the contractors have been
legislated against by the officials since
men were allowed to remain at work
on the Nash job while they were called
off at the Mckinley school. Much Of
the time of the. meeting Tuesday was
taken up with discussion of the stu
alton at the Mckinley school.
There were rumors'of the spread Of
the. strike to other trades as a result
of the action of the contractors but
none Of these could be corroborated.

Of excitement among the young people.
To Be Pretentious Film.
"a Romance Of Kenosha" is to be a
pretentious film and all Kenosha is
looking forward to it. Hundreds Of
young men and women are interested
in the movies. Many of them would
like to appear IN moving pictures but
they do not know how to go about it.
Truly fabulous salaries are earned by
many in photoplay work, which after
all is nothing more or less than bust
ness like anything else. If an amateur
applies to moving picture company
for a position, never having any ex-
perience, it certainly is not going to
give him the same attention as the
person who can say, II have had some
experience, and you will find me not
altogether green. Kindly run this pic
ture of me in your projecting room;
that will show you my work."
1t May Be Your Chance.
The News is making "a Romance of
Kenosha" to promote interest and as
sist the young people along these lines,
and give them an opportunity gratis to
try their hand at something that any
amount of time, money and energy
might not accomplish for them other
wise. The picture when completed will
be shown at the Virginian theatre and
the dates Of showing will be October
21st to 9th.
Any number Of young men, women
and children have decided to enter the
picture. ne 1dSG I1dt Ll6 IAAIl Will DS
loaned to those who take part to help
them in securing positions, is attract
ing any number of young people in
Kenosha, who under any other condi-
tions would not even entertain the idea
of trying their hand at picture work.
The News lays particular stress on
the fact that every effort will be made
to make this picture an artistic sue
cess, and if there is anyone in our com
munity who thinks he or she would
like to try the work but feels timid
about making the attempt, assurance
is given that such paigstaking efforts
will be made in filming "a Romance of
Kenosha" that they should pluck up
enough courage to come right along,
and through this opportunity, which
may never come to them again, posi-
bly, realize what may be laying the
cornerstone of their whole financial

Everything is ready for the opening of the Christmas seal and health bond sale of the Alabama Tuberculosis asso- citation December 1.

 Interest throughout the association has reached a 100 per cent stan lard and the people of the state are asked
 to take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out the great white plague.
 Fifty thousand tubercular patients in the state of Alabama is too large per |centage for the states population. It lis figured that before another holiday season comes around this number will be greatly reduced.
 When people take into consideration Ithe fact, say the officials. that when they buy Christmas seals and health bonds they are simply investing in health insurance for themselves and loved ones, it is felt that they will buy all the stamps and bonds they can af- ford.
