Interesting industrial statistics are
presented in the July issue Of the
Manufacturers Association bulletin,
mailed today to all executives of local
manufacturing plants. Reports from
eleven leading factories show that on
the first of this month the comblneo
force of operatives numbered 1850,
gain Of fifty-seven over that OF June
The total employees of industry IN TINS
city at the present time IS above the
$4,000 mark. Nash Motors company
has the largest force of operatives,
approximately $500 and the Simmons
company is a close second with 3,33O.
At a meeting of the shop superln-
dents, held on the 25th inst, refer
ence. was made to Babson's recent re-
port anticipating a probable slack
period. No executive present can fore
see any indication of an early slump
in business. One member reported
that his firm had received few can
collation. of orders, and several stated
that they were running close, but
maintaining a full force of workers
There appears to be a decided trend
towards a drop in prices of manu-,
featured products, excepting wooden
goods. AS regards the labor supply
help in general is not scarce, but
rather unsteady, as shown by the labor
turnover. 1t was reported that some
large eastern plants are now operat-
ing on five days week, but even
thought this condition should continue
to prevail, it. may be several months
before the effect is felt locally.
New Plants Want Locations.
The Bulletin reports that several
garment manufacturers from larger
cities have been seeking a location
here where they feel they can oper-
ate to better advantage. Some of these
prospects might prove liability rather
than an asset to our community. We
want to see Kenosha grow, but she
should prosper to the advantage OF her
working people rather than by catering
to manufacturer who seek an easy
means of operation. When those seek
ing a location, come to the bureau for
an interview, they are always two
questions? Do you believe in paying
fair scale of wages to your en-
ployees? Do you expect to conform
willingly to the laws of Wisconsin and
the rules of the State Industrial Com
mission covering the operation of fac
tories? We believe it advisable to
notify outsiders who look with favor
upon Kenosha as an industrial center
that it is not haven for manufactur-
ers who crave to enforce on their
employees long hours, low wages and
sweat-shop conditions. Along this line
we have established a standard which
has advertised our city as an excel
lent place for industry. This reputa-
ton must be maintained
Changes In Compensation Act.
Local manufacturers are urged to
make careful study of the changes
made in the Workmen's Compensation
Act by the 1928 legislature. This is
designated as Chapter 32s of the Laws
of 1923 and developed from Assembly
Bill No. 745. 1t is essential that some
person at each plant be thoroughly
informed regarding the provisions of
the new law. Another act affecting

when Hundred Kenoshans
Take KIan Oath.

: Hundreds of Kenosha people mo-
tered north on Saturday evening to
stand under the light Of the flaming
cross" and witness the wierd ceren1o-
NAL of the Ku Klux Khan which Was
held at the. Khan field just northwest
of Racine and attracted a crowd ct
close to thirty thousand people. fnr
1t was announced by officials of the
khan that more than hundred of the
more than a thousand new members
enrolled in the khan at the monia1
were fro mKenosha and that these
members were expected to form. the
nucleus for the organization of pro-
visional khan in Kenosha.
The gathering of the klansmen at
the field owned by them near Racine
was in the nature of a reunion and
picnic and it was declared that the
attendance was as large as has been
reported at any cerem onial of the khan
in the country.
Colonel Simmons is Speaker.
Col. William Joseph Simmons of
Atlanta, Ga, founder and Imperial
Wizard of the khan, was the principal
speaker of the evening and under the
rays Of light from great blazing
cross he spoke for more than an hour
to the vast crowd of people. A display
Of fireworks seldom equaled IN this
section of the country We'd with the
address of Col. Simmons in attracting
the attention of the crowds.
The big crowd was entertained dur
ing the day with varied program of
sports and entertainment, but the big
doings came with sunset, when the
American flag was lowered to the
strains Of america" This was fol-
lowed by display of fireworks, which
preceded the address of Col. Simmons
Col. Simmons southern intonation
helped to put his address over big
with the crowd, which applauded en-
Enthusiastically his every sally at the
enemies of the khan.
"Three years ago we had 5000 mem
bers," he declared "Then they started
a campaign to drive US out of exist
ence, and today we have 100000 mem
bers." He proclaimed the khan as the
everlasting antithesis of tyranny in
any form, and devoted solely to per-
petuationj of the ideals of the colonial
founders of this republic"
Masked Men in Parade.
The address was followed by a pa
rade of the robes klansmen, and the
Limitation of hundreds of novitiates.
The spectacular ceremony with all
the splendor and mystery which popu-
lar imagination has attributed to the
organization, was carried out on the
brow of little knoll, atop which the
cross of incandescent lights glowed,
while the full moon shone brilliantly
to add to the wierd splendor of the
ceremony.
All nop-members and non-robed
members were kept at safe distance
by a ring off white clad klansmen, so
that they might witness the mystic
rites, but far enough away so they
could not hear the ritual.
( AS a demonstration Of the klan's
growth in Wisconsin and northern Hi
uois, the gathering of Saturday far
exceeded expectations, it was admitted
by members of the order.

some charming bits of "effect"-bells,
clown trombones, piano cadenzas, and
curious modulations. "Oh Harold" on
the other side is almost our old friend

Collegiate Walk.
The fox trot and its ingenious variety
are a constant puzzle to serious must
clans. ''Trot Along" by the Benson
Orchestra of Chicago is case in point,
for the skill and variety of its effects,
its constant freshness and perfect
adhptability to the dance. "Wet Yo'
Thumb" on the opposite side is mostly
in minor key, with heavy chords and
a plunging rhythm with some fine piano
work by Zez Confrey.

"Daddy" songs are legion, and while
some of them verge on maudlln hokum,
their sentiment at least is based on
one OF ts- strongest of human ties.
ut tie Daddy" which Frances Aida
s. 3 on new August record must
not for moment be confused with
the pathetic versions so prevalent. 1t
is the song of child who climbs to
Daddy's knee at the close of day and
wonders what Mother may think when
the pair of them rejoin her at the
end of life. IT shows how such a song
may be, without straining of sentiment
and without the slightest banality. 1t
is sung in the same spirit.
