Agricultural and Irish industry handl-

"For the moment" continued De
Roiste, 1.-The majority OF 1rishmen are
welded together in an endeavor to
throw off the British yoke. Labor is
found backing a decree by Dali Fire
ann (Sinn Fein Parliament), namely,
the order forbidding emigration,
which on it's face in the present state
of industrial development is inimical
to their own interest.
There is a surplus of labor that
cannot be used on the tiny farms and
that works to the disadvantage OF
trade unionism. If emigration is
completely restricted, it will mean
the saving to the motherland of forty
thousand young men who before the
war annually sailed from the port
of Queenstown for America.

you are willing to pay this price. The
price Of brick when we put in Eliza

this amount and there is no assurance
Of deliveries. It is all but impossible
to get the crushed stone and every
bit Of the material must be delivered
at the advanced freight rate. The price
for excavation must necessarily be
higher than it was a year ago, as the
teamsters have increased their price
fromnineto twelve dollars day and
you can't do excavating with employing
teams. When you get right down to

No Chance to Do Work This Year.
Contractor Petersen declared that
there wasn't a chance in the world
Of completing the paving this year as
provided by the contracts advertised
on Friday 1t will be absolutely impos-
sible to get material for the work.,
he continued. at is is impossible to
get material now and you can see what
the chance will be a month from now
when the contracts are signed up. 1t
would be impossible. 1t is impossible
to guess on what may come next year.
Probably the fact that the work must
go over will result in considerable
saving for the city and the property
owners"
Several of the members Of the coun-
Gil when seen declared thattheywould
not vote to let the contracts under the
bids received on Friday A fey Of them
said that the proposition of "cost plus
ten per cent" was interesting. Doing
paving work under the direct supervi-
sion of the city has been suggested on
several occasions and it is possible
that the council will decide to try it
out this year with the consent of the
property owners on one or two of the
streets. OF coursre, if the people de-
mand paving under these prices it is
possible that the council will let the
contracts.

Christ Peterson, we'll known Kenosha
paving contractor, has announced that
at the next meeting of the common
council he will make a proposition to
the council to do paving work on the
plan Of cost plus ten per cent. He as
serts that in his belief this is the only
system under which the, city should
attempt to carry out it's paving pro-
gram for the coming season. He de-
clares that under present conditions
it is impossible for the city to get an
absolutely fair bid That the paving
contractors fact uncertain conditions
which must be properly provided
agains, and that in order to provide
to meet possible conditions, prices
asked for work must be abnornlally
high. Mr.. Petersen declared that if
he we're himself member Of the com
mon council he would decline to let
bids for paving on the bids opened by
the street assessment committee on
Friday, which showed an increase over
the same time Of last year in excess
Of sixty per cent. Under the present
iids the cost Of the carrying out OF
the Paving program would be consider
able in. excess OF 100000 and the very
large percentages Of this cost nust be
paid by the property owners.
NO Way to AvOald High Bids.
Several of the streets of the will not
be paved this year. Racine avenue
property owners have protested against
the paving work going forward this
year and it is certain that the property
owners on other streets who believed
that the price for paving would show
only a little advance over the former
years, will make just as great a pro-
test.

Petersen. II do not think that the
average citizen who knows anything
about conditions will lay the fault of
high bids at the door Of the contractor.
We bid on work last year, and we are

thought at that time that the bids

Rent Regulation
Not for KenOsha

Kenosha has lost interest in the pro-
posed new state law to regulate rents
in the state. It is very probable that
the proposed act placing the regula-
ton of rentals in the hands of the
railroad commission, will become law
but it will not be law in which the
people of Kenosha will take any great
interest as the members of the legis-
lature on Friday afternoon pulled the
teeth of the law when an amendment
was passed, making the law applicable
only to the city Of Milwaukee, The
bill proposed by the governor was
sanctioned by the legislature and it
will probably become effective as to
Milwaukee, but the rest of the state
must struggle along with the rent
profiteers the best they can. Kenosha
men who have been active in the bat
tie for regulation of rents showed a
keen regret today that the bill had
been amended so as to make the pro-
visions Of it apply only to the city of
Milwaukee.

GOING EAST
TO new BRANCH
Plans Completed for Open
ing Branch Of Speciality
Brass Co. in N. Y.
EXCEEDS LOCAL PLANT

The lions share Of the business Of
the Speciality Brass company is to be
lost to Kenosha, for it is announced to-
day that G. W. Anderson, president of
the company, has returned from AL
bion, N. u, after completing arrange
ments for the opening of large plant
of the company in that city.
The new factory is now ready for
operation and with the building and
equipment the company has expended
more than $4,000. The plant will en-
ploy more than seventy men with its
opening and it will be much larger
than the Kenosha plant Of the COM
pany. It will be utilized for the manu-
facture of creamery equipment and
other brass fittings and it will serve a
great eastern trade which has been de-
veloped by the company in recent
years. The very rapid increase of the
business of the company brought de-
mand for increased facilities for man
ufacture and the directors of the com
pany decided that these increases
should be made with view Of serving
a great eastern market. There is no
suggestion that the business of the
company in Kenosha will be abandoned
It will be continued with the usual ex-
pansion made necessary from year to
year, but the eastern plant is expected
to give a very large impetus to the
business of the company.
Directors Going East.
Tn order to properly handle the bust
ness of the new branch, several of the
men who have been directors of the
company and leaders in its business in
Kenosha, will remove to Albion in the
near future to take over responsible
positions in connection with the opera
tion of the new plant. The list Of di-
rectors picked to go to the eastern
plant includes N. J. Anderson, Henry
Anderson and Martin Petersen. These
men will all have executive positions
in connection with the new plant The
factory is now in operation and as g
result the output of the company is
being very largely increased. The cen
trail offices Of the Speciality Brass com,
pany will remain in Kenosha.
