Isidor Kahn’s representation
of business interests served him well in the early years
of his practice as labor problems developed in Evansville.
The city’s reputation as a “bad labor town” dated at
least back to the 1890s, when state police were assigned
to subdue violence during a strike at an Evansville furniture
company.
When labor unrest erupted
in 1918-19, the Manufacturers and Employers Association
hired Mr. Kahn as a lawyer and director of labor relations.
Labor was added to tax matters as areas of concentration
for his practice. As his prestige in the community increased,
Mr. Kahn was named Vanderburgh County attorney of 1919.
He served for three years. In 1924, his peers honored
him by choosing him as president of the Vanderburgh County
Bar Association.
