Governor Satisfied
With His Own Bill
Said to Be Ready to Sign Enforcement
Act in Spite of Defeat of the
HOme-Brew Clause.
(By Associated Pressl

Madison.-Governor Blaines prohibi-
ton enforcement bill, amended to elm
mate home-brew and passed by the
legislature, apparently pleases every
one, including the governor, who is re-
ported as ready to give his signature.
Anti-Saloon League representatives say
that it includes everything they ask
for except that it does not prohibit
possession of home-brew, as the Mathe-
son bill would have done. They favor
ed passage, however, when the measure
came up on the floor Prohibition Com
missioner Smith said that the bill
which he was instrumental in drawing
up, gives Wisconsin an effective en-
forcement measure that calls for pro-
hibition and gives the commissioner
definite authority with which to pro-
hibit. He is we'll pleased, stating that
within the next few months there will
be decided change in the Wisconsin
liquor situation. Gov. Blaine is re-
ported to have assured his followers
that he will sign the measure in its
present form, which carries out his re-
quest for a law stringent in its provi-
slons against manufacture and sale of
moonshine. 1t also carries out his con-
tention that the home should not be
subject to search except when ANUS
ance. Both sides as result claim vic
tory. The state will at the same time
have an effective prohibition enforce
ment act and commissioner with a
sufficient force provided for to enforce
it. The 100000 appropriation granted
is four times that given the commits
sioner during the past two years, when
but two deputies have been possible to
carry out the state enforcement work.
Severe penalties are incorporated in
provisions of the measure accepted by
the legislature, with a prison sentence
attached when violators are persistent.
The enforcement features, according to
Commissioner Smith are thoroughly
adequate and enforceable.

North Shore Men
Accept Wage Cut
Trainmen Prefer to Accept Company's
Offer Rather Than to Arbitrate
Wage Scale.

Four hundred employees of the Chi
cago, North Shore and Milwaukee cleo
trio railroad, including conductors, mo-
torinen and collectors, voted Thursday
night to accept a nominal wage cut
rather than submit the proposition to
a board of arbitration. This means
that the trainmen in Kenosha will &C
cep a cut from 65 to Sc cents an hour,
and on the main line operating between
Chicago and Milwaukee the motormen
will receive 72 instead of 50 cents an
hour and collectors 60 instead of 81
cents. They-also voted in favor Of the
eight to ten-hour day at the reduced
wages in preference to straight eight
hour day at the current wage. The
trainmen appear we'll pleased with the
result of the vote taken at Highwood,
as the railroad is one of the best
equipped in the country and employees
almost without exception believe they
have always been treated fairly in wage
matters.

Some Workers Are
Still in Demand
Need is Still Acute for Farm Laborers
and for Domestic Help Ac-
cording to Report.

According to the statistics gathered
by the local employment bureau, there
are at least two classes of help that
are unaffected by the industrial de
preston. One of these is for farm
and the other is domestic servants.
In speaking of the situation, Secretary
Shearer says: "The demand for good
farm labor was never better. do not
believe it is any exaggeration to say
that there are openings in Kenosha
county at present for at least one
hundred experienced agriculturists.
The same is true of other farming To-
calities throughout Wisconsin. Every
labor bulletin, reaching our office from
Madison, shows that the call for farm
labor in every center of the state is
exceedingly large. We get numerous
applicants at the bureau for farm work,
but we can only class small percent
age of them as farmers Present in
dieations seem to point to a movement
from the factory of men to the farms
and women to domestic duties"

WHEN REDS LOSE
Samuel Gompers Goes Into the Presi-
Dental Race With Ill-WiIl
of the Radicals.

(By Associated Press Leased Wirel
Denver, Colo.-The convention of the
American Federation of Labor had its
decks cleared today for the election of
q president and other officers.
Both candidates for the leadership
of the American dor movement, John
L. Lewis and Samuel Gompers went to
the convention claiming that they had
sufficient votes to win.
The convention in its first night ses-
sion last night disposed of the ques-
ton of future relations with the In
ternational Federation of Trad s
unions and the recognition of the Rus
sian Soviet government.
Almost riotous scenes marked both
actions of the convention, which sus-
tains the action of the executive coun-
ell, in severing relations with the Eu-
ropean labor, movement and in con-
demning the Russian Soviet govern
ment.
Defenders of both the international
Federation and the Russian Soviets
were annoyed by speaking and rat
thing of chairs, shots and jeers and
by other means.
President Gompers had to be con-
tinually calling for order in his efforts
to keep the proceedings in progress.
When he put the Russian question to q
vote, he was charged with machine
rule" because he declined to permit
delegates to speak in defense of the
Soviet government.
D. S. Smart of Chicago withdrew his
accusation of gag rules" when Presi-
dent Gompers threatened him with
preferment of charges.
