FIND RACINE DULL
GET ACTION HERE

"And with the eye he left undimmed
I viewed his damaged nose" was the
position in which five young men, of
Racine, all said to be members of
prominent families in that city found
themselves when they landed in the
city lookup on Sunday just before
noon. The quintette came up in the
municipal court this morning and were
arraigned on charges of making dis
turbance on the street. They admit
ted the soft impeachments and each
of them settled with the clerk for a
fine of two dollars and the costs of the
action. They gave their names as
George Fell, R. D. Walker, Joe Kato-
vich, Herman Becker and Hilbert
Lloyd.
The Racine men had taxi-cab, a
generous supply of liquor and the full
effect of the first day of spring run
ming through their veins and arteries
and it proved some combination.
Object to Interference
They left Racine early Sunday
morning after they had just naturally
found the old town to dull for any
thing. They drove to Kenosha elk
kering up" on the way down and when
they reached Kenosha they admitted
that they were feeling pretty god. The
old taxicab made the rounds of the
city but the men declared that they did
hI1x =
the corner of Pearl and West street
the interior of the taxicab was con-
verified into a trench and according to
the stories of the police officers who
arrested the men every one of them
had part in free for all fight. The
men came to the station with bruised
and cut faces which indicated that
they had gone over barbed wire en-
tanglement or something else. They
said that they did not care to say
what the fight was all about. They
went down into the cell room and soon
had an armistice signed. In the court
room this morning they were all cuts
and bruises but just the same they
were all smiles. They lounged up to
the bench like five old cronies and as
serted to the judge that the difference
which had caused the trouble had all
been adjusted and that they wanted
to settle up and go back to the dull
own. The court accommodated them
in short order and let them get back to
Racine in time to go to work this af-
ternoon.

Mike and Jim Lead
Comrades to DeatE

Chicago.-If it weren't for "Mik
and jim" you'd have hard time get
ting those delicious mutton chops TO
breakfast. No, "Mike and Jim" aren'
human beings. They're just pair o
trained rams that lead sheep to slaugh
ter in the Chicago stock yards.
Cattle and hogs at the yards" hav
drivers, who emit noises both threat
ening and conciliatory-you mel
who follow the animals to the killini
floor and back up their noises witt
the cracking of long whips.
But not so sheep and lambs. Thes
have no drivers, for they refuse t.
be driven. But they can be led-b,
one of their kind-and that's wher
'Mike and Jim" come in.
Every time a bunch of sheep ar
to start for the Stacking pen an,
killing floor, "Mike and Jim" are trot
ted out. They meet the herd, bov
gracefully, right-about-face and lea,
their new-made friends over tn
bridge of sight" to the Stacking pens
Cut at the sheep killing department
they refer to "Mike and Jim" as pets
That's because they are so we'll trained
They escort one herd of sheep, thel
go back for some more. Others sa,
they're the Judas Iscariots of tn,
stock yards.

Many Years
Behind in Work

New York.-There are not enough
figures on typewriter to indicate
what the United States pays for its
annual array of holidays.
In both money and time, the high
cost Of loafing amounts in year to
sums too great to conceive or to rows
of figures too long to read.
Statistic sharks, however, have
managed to gather data that may come
within few million dollars of the cor
rect mark, and may not miss the total
time lost by much more than couple
of centuries.
Here are some of the facts well
informed mathematicians point to as
proving their point thai America would
me richer by few trillion dollars if
the public took fewer "off DAY s."
During 1920 the almanacs list just
9 national holidays, generally observed
throughout every state, and none of
which falls on Saturday. In addition,
there are half-holidays observed on
Saturdays in most states, enough, they
say, to amount to 26 whole holidays.
In all, then, there are 35 whole holt
days on which Office workers, store
clerks, teachers and toilers in dozens
of other lines cease work.
Take for an example an office of
100 persons. Thirty-five holidays are
granted each employee, making in all,
$500 days for the office force, not
counting Sundays. This sum amounts
to little more than II years, there
fore, for each Office of 100 persons.
Placing the average weekly salary
of the employees at $50, simple arith
metic will show the loss to the one
employer for the II years is. $1,716, 900.
To this sum must be added wages lost
by union workers, whose pay is reck-
oned on time basis; loss because of
no production; loss in manufacturing
plants where steam must be kept UP
and overhead expenses go on regard
less of the holiday, and to railroad
and transportation companies whose
lines are over-congested by freight and
passengers the following day.
The money loss throughout the
United States would be somewhere
around sS,SOO,O 100000 counting only the
items suggested above, while the time
loss in the whole country would be
about 35o,o00,Ooo working days, OF
559,118 working years.
If the sharks are right, and there
has been no one to step forward to
challenge their figures, the total losses
will probably nearly double the figures
already presented, because they de-
clare no consideration whatever has
been given for the 35 holidays that
are faithfully observed in various
states celebrating sectional, religious
or local historical incidents.

Misses King-Pin

Shot in Match at Racine on

MOVE TO FORM
ANOTHER PARTY
Socialists, Labor Men and
NOnpartisans Hold Sec
ret Meetings.
A RADICAL PLATFORM

What has become a we'll developed
move to organize new political party
in Wisconsin by unifying elements of
discomfort was brought to light in
Milwaukee on Tuesday, when it be-
came known that four secret meetings
had been held there for that purpose.
J. J. Handley, Milwaukee, secretary
and treasurer of the State Federation
of Labor, said that two views have
developed at these meetings, one fav-
orable to new state party and the
other favorable to propaganda cam
paign for certain principles which
would be left to the old parties to work
out.
Should the former group dominate,
new party would be sent forth in the
1920 campaign, to organize under one
banner all the radical forces in move
to capture state affices, the legislature
and gain control of congressman, also
to be ready to join new radical ma
tional party, which, according to dis
patches from different parts of the
country, might be headed by William
Randolph Hearst, Senator r. M. La
Toilette or Gov. Fraser of North Da-
kota.
Secret Meetings Held.
Four secret meetings have been held
in Milwaukee and another is scheduled
for Sunday afternoon to consider adj
visibility of starting this. political
venture by unifying discordant ele-
ments in the state.
It is reliably reported that the fol-
lowing groups were represented, So
cialist party, non partisan league, COM
mittee of forty-eight, organized labor,
three brotherhoods of railroad train
men, and the Equity society, the lat
ter being represented, it is said, with
out the consent or knowledge of J.
N. Tittemore, Equity president, who
is said not to be in on the deal.
Senator w. c. Zumach, Milwaukee
socialist, is said to have represented
socialists; George Comings, Eau Clarie
the non partisan league; A. j. Sweet,
Milwaukee, the committe of forty
eight, with Handley and Henry Oil,
Milwaukee socialists, representing
labor.
Favor Plumb Plan.
The brotherhoods are said to have
sent men to the conferences because
they were assured that the different
groups represented would indorse the
Plumb plan for naturalization of rail
roads.
Meetings held to date have been
guarded by much secrecy. Mr.. Handley
declined to give out any information
because, he said, at might put the
matter in a bad light"
eve have been working in quiet
way" he said, "and do not want pub
Lefty at this time"
Mr.. Handley said that if the new
organization materalized, it would adj
vocate progressive economic prin-
ciples and liberal views"
