KENOSHA,S HARD
COAL BIN EMPTY
Stocks Exhausted and Res

NO DANGER OF FAMINE

Hard coalis almost priceless COM
modify in Kenosha, through exhaus-
ton Of the on-hand supply Of local
dealers and The cessation of shipments
coming in, due to the continuation of
the anthracite miners strike.
Bins that boast but "a few pounds
of hard coal are the rule, and bins
that have none at all are becoming
annoyingly common. In fact, many a
hard coal user has long since turned
to the consumption of coke or btu
minous. Pocahontas has ruled favorite
since the anthracite went away.
Kenosha's coal dealers haves long
since exhausted their surplus stock
of hard coal, and all that has been
retailed by them has been such small
quantities as they have from time to
time been able to get shipped in from
some wholesale supply that was not
yet exhausted. These shipments, how
ever, have been scarce.
Price Scars to $1,000.
Yesterday one Kenosha dealer an
nounced that he had just received a
carload of anthracite and the demand
quickly ate it up. The price at which
it was retailed was $22.50 ton, while
the price that prevailed before the
strike tied up the supply was $500
a ton.
One local. dealer made lucky
venture early in the season before
the strike clouds appeared. He
bought heavily of Pocahontas at a
good price and stored his bins full
. Now, with anthracite exhausted, this
supply is in big demand and at a
handsome profit. He has even been
supplying other Kenosha retailers who
did not exercise so much foresight.
There is no imminent danger of any
Kenosha homes going cold this winter.
There is a generous supply of coke,
Pocahontas and the various grades of
soft coal, and these supplies can be
maintained from the stocks of whole
salers with when they deal, unless,
possibly a bituminous strike should
be called in sympathy with the anthra-
cite workers, in which event there
might be scurrying and hurrying to
keep warm.

More Dairy HOnOrs
for Badger Cattle

Beloit, Wis. az - Wisconsin
dairy farmers hold the honors among
the breeders of Brown Swiss cattle
In the promotion of the Alpine cow
dairymen of no other state have yet
equalled the record of the Badger
breeders.
Reports from the secretary's Office
of the Brown Swiss Breeders associ-
alton here, show that Wisconsin farm
ers are not only taking leading part
in the development of the breed but
are also "cashing in" on their hold
ings. Last year, Wisconsin breeders
not only sold more Swiss than the
farmers of any other state, but also
developed a large number of pure
breds to replenish their own herds.
Of the thousands of new Swiss cat
tie, registered on the herd books OF
the association last year, no less than
20 per cent carried the "Bred In Wis

CLEARS WAY TO
ENFORCE LAW
Atty. Gen. Clears Way to
Enforce Anti-Stream
Pollution Law.
LAW IS EXPLAINED

Madison, wis., The way has
been cleared by an opinion from the
attorney general for enforcement of
the anti-stream pollution law ia
Wisconsin, Elmer S. Hall, state con-
servation commissioner, said today.
Attorney General Ekern advised
Commissioner Hall of an opinion
written by F. C. Seibold, assistant
attorney general, holding that the
law passed in 1917 contains an abso-
lutte prohibition against dumping or
permitting to be deposited in any
waters within the state certain waste
and refuse. 1t is not necessary that
the substance be deleterious to fish
life, the attorney general ruled.
What the Law Means.
j The law prohibits TIE depositing or
permitting to be thrown or deposited
into any waters within the jurisdic-
ton of the state, of fish offal
lime, tanbark, ship ballast, stone,
sand, slabs, decayed wood, sawdust,
sawmiH refuse, planning mill shavings,
or any acids or chemical waste or ref
use arising from the manufacture of
any article of commerce. The opinion
states that the provision prohibits
dumping the enumerated \ substances
into the water, irrespective of wheth-
er they are in fact deleterious to fish
life.
Commissioner Hall said that while
some of the substance probably would
affect fish life, others undoubtedly
caused some of the pollution that has
resulted in the destrL tion of large
number of fish in streams of the
state. Without indicating the steps
that were contemplated to remedy the
situation, he said that his depart
ment would enforce the law vigorously.
An appropriation of $4,000 was pro-
vided by the last legislature for tEis
purpose.
Seeking Cooperation.
The commissioner indicated that he
would seek the friendly cooperation
of manufacturers, especially paper
mills, and others in remedying the
situation by diverting their waste
from the streams. He said the pollu-
ton problem was affecting the manu-
facturers, in some instances making
it necessary for paper mills that
formerly were located on streams be-
cause of the water supply to seek
their supply elsewhere, conveying the
water to the mills by pipe lines.
Meanwhile, the railroad commits
sion is working on its findings which
resulted from an investigation by
Commissioner Adolph Kanneberg of
the pollution problem.

Ireland Restless
Over Boundary Row
Conferences With Premier BALDWIN
Proceed But Irishmen Stir
Up Feeling.

London, Eng->Ai-, While confer
ences on the Irish boundary situation
continue here between Premier Bald
win and representatives of the north
ern and southern governments in Ire
land, there apparently is a certain
amount of unrest in Ireland itself.
Advices from Belfast say that the
British government has suspended the
giving Of leave of absence to the
troops in Ulster and that the sixth
battalion of the free state army is
proceeding to camp near the Donegal
Fermaragh border.
At Ennis, cannon de Valera, leader
of the Republicans, in an address, de-
clared that the future of the people OF
Ireland would depend on how they
acted at present as a nation on the
boundary issue.
He charged bad faith against former
Premier Lloyd George, Winston Spen-
Ger Churchill and Lord Birkenhead
and said that during the Anglo-Irish
treaty debates the question of rectii-
cation of the Irish boundary was never
heard of. "The precious" phrase ''rec-
LITIGATION of the boundary" was only
heard of when section of the Irish
people had been so committed to the
treaty as to make it impossible fol-
them to retreat. Mr.. De Valera added
that he hoped the country would get
no worse partition than the treaty
gave.
Although the conversations between
Premier Baldwin and various persons
of north and south Ireland are pro-
ceeding, there is suggestion that
the free state will decline to accept
the boundary line drawn by the com
mittee on delimitation and insisting
boundary may be maintained. Presi-
dent Cosgrave Of the Daily Eirreann
was expected to be amorg those who
will confer with Mr.. Baldwin.
Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier
who discussed the situation with Mr.
Baldwin, is remaining over in London
for another possible talk with him.

Must Clear Snow Daily.
In the case of continuous snowstorm
the ordinance makes it obligatory for
every property owner to clear the side

is any amount of snow to be allowed

Oleo Cases Start

Madison, Wis.-xs-E Trial of four
cases in which an effort is being made

anti-oleomargarine law in Wisconsin,
opened in circuit court here today.
The cases we're brought by manu-
facturers, wholesalers and retailers of
oleomargarine. Attorney General
Herman L. Ekern and C. A. Erickson,
deputy attorney general, are repre-
senting the state. Opponents Of the
law, which, was passed by the last
legislature, are seeking an order re-
straining j. @. Emery. state, dairy and

provisions.
Enforcement of the law, which bars
from the state oleomargarine or other
butter substitutes containing milk or
milk products, has been delayed since
Sept. /, when it became effective, by
a temporary injunction. Counsel has
predicted that the case will be car
ried to the state supreme court, and
possibly the federal courts, for a final
decision as to validity of the law.
