NASH WORKERS GO
ON SHORT HOURS
Quitting Whistle Sounds at Noon
Today and Reduced Production
is IN Sight.

A big reduction in the working hours
of men employed at the Nash plant was
put into effect today and most of the
men left the plant at noon. It was
said that the working hours had been
cut down to five hours a day. Officials
of the company when asked in regard
to the matter said that the Flant was
"being operated with one shift" and
that the men were working in the
morning. 1t was admitted that there
would be considerable reduction in
the production but the officials said
that they could not say just how much
this would amount to- "Will it be
reduction of one-half so far as the
working hours is concerned" one of
the officials was asked. "Pretty nearly
that" was his response. The early
blowing of the quitting whistle at the
Nash plant has been the cause of con-
siderable disturbance among the work
ers of the company. 1t has been said
that the company is hopeful that the
working conditions will be settled by
the first of July.

it was said that the rule would be car

view of bringing the land values in
KenOsha up to nearer the true value.
"We find that the increase in the
land values is necessary if we want to
meet the demands for fair assess
ment of the property" was the state
ment from the office. "The values as
made last year were not up to true
value or anywhere near it and in fact
a comparison with the assessed values
and true values as shown by sales in

of the sales value of the property"

Other shootings and bombings follow

shots today. Neighbors say they were
fired by men hiding in vacant apart

mission in Upper Silesia and Adelbert
Korfanty, leader of the Polish insur-
gents in that area, resulted last even

says dispatch to the Central News

1t was agreed, according to this re-
port, that the insurgents would occupy
a line of demarcation agreed upon and
remain in the stipulated positions
pending final settlement of the Upper
Silesian question which is still pend
ing in allied councils, where it rested
following the taking of the recent
plebiscite in this area in dispute be
tween Poland and Germany. The in
dustrial territory, which has been
largely over-run by Poles, therefore
would remain under Polish occupancy.

BLOOD POISON
CLAIMS VICTIM
Thomas e. O'Brien, Bristol
Farmer, Dies from Poi
sOning from Cut.
CLEANING OFF KNIFE

Blood poisoning which developed
from a small cut on the index finger
of the left hand received in cleaning
a knife after butchering, this morning
caused the death of Thomas Edward
O'Brien, aged At years, a prominent
farmer of the town of Bristol. Suffer
ing from the septic infection, the de-
ceased was brought to the st. Gather
ines hospital in delirious condition
last Saturday afternoon. There, de-
spite the best of care and attention, he
was unable to combat the effects of
the poison and died just after five o.
clock this morning.
The infection had spread through
his entire system and for several days
there had been little hope of his re-
covery.
Only a Small Cut.
On Sunday, April oath, in cleaning
up some cutlery after butchering a
calf, Mr.. O'Brien had cut the tip off of
his finger when he ran the knife blade
through his fingers to clean it off
The injury had been, cared for then
and because it was not believed to be
serious had been forgotten. On the
following day, the deceased had built
some fencing on his farm and had
worn some old gloves in doing this
work. 1t is believed that the cut be-
came infected from these, for on We'd
nesday the finger began to pain him
severely. Medical attention was then
sought Immediately and everything
possible was done to Keep the infec-
ton from spreading but despite this
the mans condition grew steadily
worse.
From Well Known Family.
Thomas Edward O'Brien was born in
the town of Bristol, March 80, 1874
the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence
O'Brien, pioneer residents of that
community. He had been educated in
the schools of that community and
had lived there all of his life. He was
one of the best known and most prog
ressive farmers of that vicinity.
The deceased is survived by his
widow, Mrs. Catherine O'Brien, and
by two children, Joseph and Marie o.
Brien. He is also survived by his
mother, Mrs. Ellen O'Brien, and by
several other relatives in Kenosha
county.
The funeral services will be held
Friday morning at the ST. Mary's
Church in the town of Bristol with
interment following in the family plot
in the St. Mary's cemetery.
