SIMON EPSTEIN
Is In TURKEY
KenOshan's Kin Reaches
Constantinople After
Four Year Fight.
HERE In DECEMBER
Former Member of Russian Du-
ma Will Open Drug Store
in KenOsha.
HERE In DECEMBER

Closing up four-year fight to get
out of soviet Russia and get a chance
to start life over again, Simon Epstein,
brother of Adolph and Emanuel Ep-
stein, we'll known Kenosha merchants,
is safe in Constantinople. He reached
the Turkish capital late Tuesday after
noon and is planning to leave on the
first steamer bound for the United
States. It is expected that he will
reach Kenosha early in December and
plans are already being laid for great
reunion of the Epstein family as a
celebration of his arrival.
Cables received in Kenosha this
morning announced the safe arrival of
Mr.. Epstein, his wife and two daugh-
tiers in Constantinople on Tuesday af-
ternoon and their plans to leave for
the United States just as soon as funds
can reach them at the Turkish capital.
Funds have been waiting for them and
it is expected that the last lap of the
long journey from soviet Russia will
be made in record time.
In Kenosha When War Came.
Mr.. Epstein, who was at one time one
of the wealthy men of Russia, was a
teacher of English in the college at
Baku at the time of the breaking out
of the war and when Russia entered
the war he~was in Kenosha, making a
visit with his brothers. He was mem
Der Of the Russian Duma and when
war came he cided that he must re-
turn to Russia to have part in the solu-
ton of the big problems which would
follow the entrance of Russia into a
world war. He reached Baku to find
confusion His properties were later
seized by the soviet government and
for four years he has been making ev-
cry possible effort to get his family
out of war-worn Russia. More than
$4,000 in American money has been
sent to Mr.. Epstein by his brothers,
but only $500 of this money reached
him and his flight from Russia has
been attended with many difficulties.
Epstein has no hopes of recovering the
property which he lost in Russia and
he is coming to America to start over.
To Bnter Drug Business Here.
Mr.. Epstein is planning to become a
Kenosha druggist just as soon as he
can reach this city and arrange to go
into business. He was in the drug
business in Russia before he began his
work as teacher and it was for this
business that he was educated.
"It has been a long struggle" said
Adolph Epstein this morning, "but this
cable indicates that we have won the
fight to get Simon out of Russia and
we do not anticipate that he will have
any further trouble coming to this
country. We expect him to arrive with
his family about the first of December
and they will make their home in Ke-
nosha."
Passports for Mr. Epstein and the
members of his family were secured
through the secretary Of state many
months ago and it is not thought that
there will be any questioning of them
by the Turkish officials or Of the Off
Gals Of other countries through which
the Epsteins must pass enroute to Ke-
nosha.

fashion and wear unusually. short
skirts.
Worse'n that, it is even .intimated
that one or two of the young lady
teachers have even dared to "wear 'em
rolled down" and that mothers of
school children have started their
tongues wagging because of this al
legged "infractions of propriety."
Not Good Example" Say Mothers.
The story goes that some of. the
mothers are so much excited over the
question that they are planning to
present protest to the members of
the school board asking for some sort
OF a ruling on the question of dress
Tor the lady teachers The reports
say that they insist that it is not a
good example to set before the young
girls in the school and ask that even
II no specific instances of the case
are cited, some ruling to tlbe effect
would aid greatly in solving the rob
lem for the mothers who have frs
aou 5augitt4 s, who e II hs
-date' N this new fsssntSn.
1t IS admitted that there are very
few of the teachers who have been
even under suspicion" and it is said
that the greater part of the protest
seems to be mere talk, based more
on rumor than real facts.
School Officials Laugh at II
"Well, that is a good story, said
superintendent LOOMS with hearty
laugh as he heard of the reports that
were going the rounds. at is inter
esting but so far as I know it has
no foundation in fact. haven't
heard single word about short
skirts until you mentioned it and if
the mothers have been protesting, thew
have been doing all the protesting
themselves. So far as l can see. /
don't see any fault with the way the
young lady teachers of our schools
dress either. Some of them may be
up-to-date and stylish but that is not
to be held against them. This talk
about short skirts is all news to me-"
President Glerum of the school
board had a similar hearty laugh ov-
er the reports. "Well, if there is any
protest, l never heard of it." he de-
clared, "and so far as the school board
taking any action, that is absurd"
One Of the reports went SO far as
to say that two young ladies had
been "called on the carpet" and both
of the officials FASTENED to deny this
report as we'll "Just mere talk" was
their reply.
Teachers Have Friends Too
The rumors brought some rather
interesting remarks from some prom
inent citizens who were told of the
episode this morning. "WeIl, what Of
it?" said one citizen. Suppose the
school teachers do wear their skirts
Just about the same length as the rest
of the young ladies about Kenoshal
I don't see any reason for big TODD
about that This isn't Zion City and
l do not I j9 why mothers should ex-
pect to ,Gctate how lady teachers
should dress"
at wouldn't surprise me a bit" ne
continued, "to find that these moth
ers, and their daughters, too, are wear.
ing their clothes just the way they
like and they don't want anyone tell-
ing them about it either. In my 'opina
ion a school teacher has just as much
right to be stylish and attractive as
some of the Others"
And meanwhile the teachers are
awaiting the rumored dictum of the
board, which school officials declare
is not even being considered.

Chicago-The United States Railroad
Labor Boards hearing to determine
whether the "big four" brotherhoods
and the switchmen's union have vio-
lated or are preparing to violate the
wage cut decision of July 1, got under
way today with public hearing of
the inner politics of the rail unions
which led to the taking of separate
strike ballot by the trainmen.
w. G.. Lee called to the stand by
Ben w. Hooper, prosecuting attorney
for the board, declared the strike bal
lot of the other four organizations
violated his understanding of what the
transportation act provide. Lee said
he withdrew from the joint meeting
when the other unions prepared a
statement to accompany the ballot in
which they referred to propose wage
cuts and rules revisions not yet de-
cided by the board as among the ques-
tons at issue.
Lee told the board he understood
the July 1 wage cut was the only
question on which a strike could le-
gally be called.
The brotherhood chiefs served notice
on the board they would withdraw at
any time they chose and leave subor-
dinates in their places after the board
permitted several railroad presidents
to answer to the roll call for absent
executives.
The hall was packed for the hearing

Chicago-That fear of changes
in working rules was one of the
causes~Uf the cali for a rail strike
was the declaration Of L. HI. Shep-
pard of the Conductors Brother
hood testifying before the labor
board this afternoon. He assert
ed that two or three of the roads
had changed rules without the
approval of the board.
''Do we understand that in cast
ing their ballots, your men were
influenced by some other consid-
Grafton than the July wage cut -
Mr.. Hooper asked.
eyes, a universal fear their
rules would be changed" Mr..
Sheppard replied.
Mr.. Sheppard cited this fear, he
said, ito make it clear first why
the men thought about these
things when they voted"
s'Do you consider that fair
method of voting, to base their
vote on these other considerations
which are not included in the wage
decision?" Mr.. Hooper asked.
Absolutely SO. It's in their
minds and they could not get
away from these other things,
Mr.. Sheppard answered.
Mr.. Sheppard said conductors on
% roads voted against strike.
He added no strike order has
been issued on these % roads but
said that under the organization
rules one can be if desired.
1T has been our practice in the
past to try to make advance agree
ments that no changes shall be
made for a stated PERIOD" Shep-
pard said.
''There is only plain recital of
history in that ballot"
''What could have been our pur-
pose to include these other in
flammatory matters than to in
fluence the vote?" Hooper asked.
"There is nothing inflammatory
there from our viewpoint. /
doubt if some of the men even read
it. These men don't have to be
told twice two is four. They know
what they're up against.
"This is not a one man organi-
cation. They know when they vote
that there is no camouflage.>
They know what to expect of
their vote. / couldn't deceive
them if l tried"
