MASTER BUILDERS
AGREE ON WAGE
Contractors Unanimously
Adopt Committee Report
which Fixed Wages.
WANT TO BE FAIR

The Kenosha Master Builders asso-
citation in session at the Chamber of
Commerce hall on Tuesday night is
sued their last word in regard to the
demand for increased wages on the
part of the building trades The word
came in the unanimous adoption of
resolution presented by special com
mittee which had been entrusted in ar
ranging for wage scale. 1t provided
that the present scale of wages for all
the building trades should be main
tanned with the understanding that the
wages Of painters should be placed at
$1.00 per hour. The resolution provid-
ed that the action be effective from and
after the first day Of October.
Practically every contractor in the
city was present at the meeting and
voted on the resolution. In addition
Madsen and Peterson, the contractors
in charge of the construction of the
Mckinley school, were represented by
Supt. Abbey and he announced that the
operations Of the company would be
governed by the resolution.
Not Seeking Trouble.
eve want it distinctly understood
that the master builders of Kenosha
are not looking for trouble" declared
President Sydney M. Jones this morn
ing. Neither are we running away
from it, We have made arrangements
by which contracts can be finished up
and we feel that with the general tend
eney throughout the nation to let down
that the maintaining of present scales
is as much as the members of the
building trades should demand at this
time. We want to be fair with every
building trade and we want to have
them understand that we are ready to
discuss this matter and show to the
men the fairness of our position. The
master builders, however, are agreed
that it will be impossible to meet new
demands which have been made"
Action on Painters Surprise.
The action in regard to the wages Of
the painters was something Of a sur
prise The new 1925 an hour scale of
the painters went into effect on the
first of September and it is now being
paid by the contracting painters,
Members of the Master Builders asso-
citation held that it was this change in
scale which has brought on other de
mands for changes in wages and that
it naturally must be the first to Be
brought back to the old standard, It
has been intimated by leaders in or
ganized labor circles that the carpen-
ters Of the city would be willing to ae-
cept compromise of S1.25 an hour if
such a compromise was offered By the
BUILDERS but no action to suggest such
a compromise was taken at the meeting

ITALIAN DIES
FROM STABBING
Rosario FerrarO. Former
Kenosha Italian. Murder
ed in Chicago.
SCENT BLACK HAND"

Shrouded in mystery are the details
Of the stabbing which resulted in the
death OF Rosario Ferraro, aged rs
years, former Kenosha Italian, who
died at the Augustana hospital in Chi
cage on Monday morning and whose
body was brought to Kenosha for bur
ial today. Relatives Of the man know
that several months ago he was stab
bed seven times while walking on one
of the dark streets Of the Italian dis
triet in Chicago, but because he re-
fused to divulge the name or to de-
scribe his assailant all attempts to find
out either the cause Of the quarrel or
the identity Of his assailant or assail-
ants have been futile.
FerrarO was wounded in a street
fight at the corner OF Taylor and Loans
avenue just after ten o'clock on the
night Of June 22nd, last. When he was
found bleeding, lying on the curb, his
assailants had all fed. He was hur-
ried to the hospital, where despite the
best Of care and medical attention for
the past three months, he was unable
to recover.
Scent the "Black Hand"
Police authorities of Chicago have
been baffled by the crime. The in
quest over the remains is still pending
in Chicago, but it is declared that off,
cials there are at loss as to any clew
to follow since Ferraro absolutely re-
fused to give out any information
about the erine other than to say that
he had been drinking little wine and
that group of Italians attacked him,
The strange reticence on the part of
Ferraro has given rise to the belief
that he was a victim of some. "blaek
hand" society in Chicago. His rela-
tives in Kenosha declare that he had
never been connected with black hand
activities and that SO far as they know
they never heard of any cause for him
to quarrel with any of his Italian
friends in Chicago,
Had Lived Here.
Rosario Ferraro was born in italy,
the son of Joseph Ferraro. He came
to America in 1905 and had lived most
of his life since that time in Kenosha.
Four years ago he went to Chicago and
later became foreman for railroad
there. At the outbreak of the war he
had enlisted early and had served two
years in France, being gassed at the
battle Of the Argonne Forest He was
well known in Kenosha and has many
friends in the italian district here.
The remains were brought to Keno
sha this morning and are at the home
of the murdered mans sister, Mrs.
Sam Russo, 1915 Garden street. In ad-
dition to this sister he is survived by
two brothers, Sam and Alex Ferraro,
both of Kenosha. The funeral services
will Be held Thursday morning at the
italian Baptist Church on Brockett
street at $3.50 o'clock with interment
following in the family plot at the
i Green Ridge cemetery. The Rev, MIR,
Rafone viii be in charge Of the fu-
neral services.
