]. R. Anderson, G. Rahr, ].
s-Henely, C. Huck, S. Ander-
son and A. Haas Resign.

Resignation of six of the leading
members Of the official staff of the
Kenosha branch of the American
Brass company was formally announc-
ed at the plant today and while no
official statement has been given out
by the men retiring from the activi-
ties of the local plant, 1t is stated
unofieially that these six men will
form new company which will en-
gage in activities similar to those Of
the plant in Kenosha. It is expected
that some announcement of the plans
of the new company will be made be-
tween now and the first Of January
and that the new company will be of
unusual interest to Kenosha men on
account of the fact that it is, to be
manned by men who have been very
active in the upbuilding of the great
plant of the company in Kenosha. The
designations will become effective at
once. The list of men Who resigned
their positions on Tuesday included:
George Rahr, leading department
foreman of the company; John Henley,
mechanical supervisor; Sam Anderson,
assistant to Mr.. Rahr; Arthur Haas
foreman of the casting shop; Claude
Huck, sales manager in charge of the
Chicago Office of the company.
Old Timers With the Company.
All of these men have been long en-
ployed in the Kenosha branch of the
company, their service extending over
a period of some cases Of nearly a
quarter Of century, while nearly all
OF the men have been actively con-
nected with the operations of the COM
pany for over fifteen years. All Of
them are nationally known to the brass
field of the country.
Coupled with the resignation Of these
men Is the resigntion Of James R.
Anderson, formerly assistant manager
Of the Kenosha branch which was an
nounced some time ago. It is expected
that Mr.. Anderson will be the leader
of the new company which is to. be
formed and begin operations in the
Chicago district in the near future.
No announcement has been, made at
the plant as to what steps will be
taken to fill the positions of the men
who have resigned, but it is expected
that such an announcement will be
made the FIRST of the new year. The
reorganization plans are now being
worked out.
High Praise For All.
II want to say that the retirement
of these six men from the Kenosha
organisation is a~matter of great re-
gret to all of u.s. said Managing Vice
President Clark N. Judd this morning.
"All Of them have been valuable men
in the operation Of the company and
they are men whose ability IS fully
recognized in the company. Every
ounce of good will Of the American
Brass company and particularly of the
Kenosha branch, will go with these
men into any undertaking which thev
may follow. We have considered
them among the most capable men in
the organization.
