PROGRESS CLUB HOLDS MEETING
Kohler Industries Organization Has Most Suc-
cessful Meeting of Season—Interesting Ad-
dress Delivered by H. B. Schoenburg, M. D.
The Progress Club, composed of members
of the Kohler Industries, held a very success-
ful meeting on Monday, May 10. The meeting
was the best attended of the 1919-1920 season,
fully 160 members answering the roll call. As
usual, dinner with a very good entertainment
preceded the business part of the meeting.
The reports of the suggestion and safety com-
mittees of the various factories indicate some
progressive work being carried on by these
committees. Campbell Lorini, director of in-
dustrial welfare of the Industries, outlined an
active plan for obtaining suggestions and asked
the foremen for their co-operation. He further
spoke on the privileges of citizenship and urged
all employes of the Kohler Industries to take
advantage of them.
Medical and social welfare work were the
topics of general discussion which followed the
routine business of the meeting. H. B. Schoen-
burg, M. D., medical director of the Kohler In-
dustries welfare department, outlined the ob-
ject and operation of the medical work and
urged the foremen members present to lend their
co-operation in both the application of safety
devices and the immediate treatment of minor
injuries. Dr. Schoenburg told of the activities
of his department during its seven years of
operation, his report covering the activities of
the Kohler Industries Medical Clinic. Mrs.
