animously to Support

At the meeting of the Manufacturers
association held Monday afternoon in
the candidates room at the Elks Club,
the Representatives of the various in
dustrial interests of Kenosha voted
unanimously to endorse the plan of
the Kenosha Girls Club to secure a
home in Kenosha and offered to the
organization their support and cooper
alton. The project was presented by
Miss Laura Murray, director of the
club, and it was explained that the
appeal was not made for money but
to secure the moral support and back
ing of the manufacturers for the pro-
ject. The manufacturers, after DIS
cussing. the plan, declared that they
were heartily in sympathy with the
project and appointed committee
composed of Roger N. Kimball, w. H.
Afford and z. G. Simmons to aid the
organization by counsel and advice.
Proceed With Plans.
The support of the Manufacturers
association was the last step to be
taken before proceeding formally with
the project. The present quarters of
the Kenosha Girls Club. have been
leased to the Kenosha council of the
Knights Of Columbus and consequently
the club members are anxious to secure
quarters as soon as possible. The ofi-
Gals of the club will proceed now tc

purchase either of the z. G. Simmons
home on. Prairie avenue or the Hoyt
home at the corner of Deming street
and Park avenue.

problem, the industrial situation here
was informally discussed 1t is de-
clared that distinct spirit Of opti-
mism ruled at the meeting While the
manufacturers declared that they ex-
pected certain amount of curtail-
ment, they do not view the situatio 4
with great deal of alarm and they
described the laying off of men more
as a process of "culling out ineffi-
clients" than Of the laying off of con-
siderable force of employees
Secretary Conrad Shearer declared
that in ALL curtailments every effort
would be made to look out for the in
terests of former service men and of
workers who have families to support
The condition will be discussed more
at length at the meeting of the super
intendents on next Friday.

KENOSHA SAILOR
is COMMENDED
Chief Boatswain J. Fl. Rat
cliffe Officially Recogniz-
ed for Bravery.
PREVENTED EXPLOSION

James H. Radcliffe, a Kenosha sailor,
now chief boatswain, was one of
three enlisted men in the navy who
was publicly commended by Secretary
Daniels at Washington on Saturday
"for courageous action beyond the call
of duty" according to dispatches
reaching this city from the capitol to-
day. The Kenosha sailor on Septem-
Der the 3rd entered smoke filled COM
partment in an oil barge at Boston and
removed three five gallon tins of gaso-
line, preventing serious explosion
and thereby saving many lives and
great loss of property.
Radcliffe is we'll known in Kenosha,
having left employment in this city to
enter the service of his country. His
commentator by Secretary of the Navy
Josephus Daniels is one of the most
coveted honors in the service and the
news of it was welcomed in Kenosha.
The presentation was made publicly
and at the same time two other sailors
who had risked their lives in the per-
Torrance of duty were honored.
James E. Dolan, ships cook of Bos-
ton, who on August the 10th rescued
comrade who had been exhausted
while swimming in the Cooper River,
in South Carolina, was one Of them.
The other was Leroy B. Thompson,
seaman Of Bridgeton, N. j., who saved
the life of boy who had fallen off the
landing of dock at San Diego.

that city and he will present this ordi-
nance to the league and along with it
some statements from experts in NUM-
cipal law as to the best way to make
city zoning stand the tests of courts.
The coming plan is declared to be the
most active aid to the movements to
secure plans for the city Wisconsin
now has law covering this feature of
city building but it is admitted that
the law is so involved that most
cities have had trouble in seeking to
enforce it.
Kenosha has tried out coming in a
small way, but it has not been a real
success on account of the doubt as to
the ability Of the city to enforce it's
coming order under provisions of it's
charter and its state laws.

and are glad that he has been able to
allow them this date.
Ole Hansen May Be Next.
President Nehlsen also announced
that the club was still planning to have
Ole Hansen, the militant mayor Of
Seattle. as the speaker for the Deem
Der meeting and that they had secured
assurance enough to warrant them to
believe that his coming was practically
certain. No definite answer has vet
been received by the committee from
William Jennings Bryan but they are
still hopeful that he will be secured
for one of the later numbers of the
season.

It's a Woman S Way

Speaking of women's rights-it can't
be said for certain that the recently
enacted suffrage clause is directly re-
sponsible for woman's victory ins this
case but we do believe that the conf
dence instilled by the knowledge that
woman is equal in the eyes of the law
had much to do with the courage of
woman versus man in the old, old game
Of discarded love.
Once upon time there was man
who lived in Kenosha. He was much
married man in the sense that he had
tried the marriage game again and
hagain and still again. This man who
had seen the dawn and close of many
a summer, wooed a charming girl. The
courtship progressed; the man offered
loves tribute in the form of gifts. The
offering supreme was beautiful watch
which delighted the heart Of the girl.
Then came trip to the home town of
the girl and visit to he. relatives.
The man returned. None could say
whether there was prejudice on the
part of the girls family or whether
there had been lovers quarrel or
whether it had been any one of num-
Der of things which can pique the
fancy Of dictatorial Dan Cupid.
Suffice to say that the man no long
er courted the girl. Time passed. One
day the man entered the courts Of the
city and Instituted proceedings to re-
cover the watch Of course the girl,
thoroughly frightened, would estore
the watch to the donor, perhaps to be
transferred to new holder of the
mans affections.
Did she? All, that is where woman's
right stands supreme She calmly be-
took herself to one of the city's promi
nent attorneys, related her side of the
case. and secured his services. The day
of the trial arrived The man appear
ed in court. More time elapsed while
the arrival of the defendant was await
ed. Suddenly the man glanced from
the window and hurriedly took his hat
and departure.
What scene upon the street had
caused the action? Well it can't be
said for certain. However, few mo-
ments later the defendants lawyer ap-
peared, irate at the action Of the plain
tiff and determined to uphold the
claims Of his client. Business Of more
waiting and a perfectly good morning
of interesting developments to specta-
tors spoiled by announcement that the
plaintiff had asked for a dismissal of
the case.

Lumber Prices
on the Toboggan

A real break has come in the high
cost of building as Kenosha lumber
dealers have announced that thirty
per cent reduction has been made in
the selling price of nearly all grades
of lumber. 1t is declared that the re-
duction in dollars and cents runs from
fifty to fifty five dollars a thousand
and it is the largest reduction to be
made in building materials since the
days before the war. The reduction
in the price of lumber promises to
stimulate building to marked extent
in Kenosha and it is believed that it
will result in many projects which had
been delayed being carried out at this
time,

The leading bourgeoisie journals in England are

urging collaboration with American Plutocracy by

more defense for aggression against any possible
enemies in the future. They fail to see why they
should bow to the growing power of the American
Bourgeoisie without stiff fight, especially so
when they-the capitalists-ne do the actual
fighting. If issuing call for "King & Country"
will bring enough Henry Dubs to fight their dirty
battles-then why give up to Amerca-or why
even collaborate? So the flames of war are being

Chicago Daily Tribune
Gentlemen On this day of the third anniver-
sary of the Russian Revolution, please convey
through your foreign correspondents my thanks
and gratitude as citizen of Soviet Russia to the
governments Of France and England and their
ALLIES for the aid they have given within these
three years to the counter-revolutionary generals
Kolchak, Denikin, Udenich Wrangel and other
"all-Russan" rulers.
First of all these aids and attempts to crush So
Wet Russia were the main factors which helped to
create strong revolutionary victorious Red
Army In the second place, the amunitions and
uniforms sent to these generals came in very
handy in due time, and the Soviet Government
made very good use of them Besides direct aid to
Soviet Russia these attempts opened the eyes Of
the workers of the world to the real causes Of the
war and the brand of democracy it was fought for.
Kindly send my thanks also to the American
Red Cross which is opening campaign now to aid
suffering humanity According to your CORES
pendent Larry Rue (oct IS, 192O) this organ
ization helped the a-Russian ruler, Baron Wrangel
with supplies to the sum of 100000 besides
100000 tons of supplies weekly. AS all the supplies
sent to this champion of democracy has fallen into
the hands of the Soviet forces think that the
supplies of the American Red Cross are also in
cuded Anyhow with such glorious record be-
lieve the Red Cross will be able to collect other
millions of dollars and thousands of new members
for the aid of suffering humanity.
Thanking you in advance,
Respectfully yours,
