SATISFACTORY
AGREEMENTS
Between Iron Molders and
Many Local Foundries
Are Concluded
There is one thing certain, and that
is if the great era of prosperity, that
is being predicted by so many as com
ing, hits Hamilton, it is not going to
be clogged up or switched around and
past the city because of any differ
ences between the iron molders and
the local foundry, companies. The
molders and the foundry companies
are set, or nearly so. Negotiations
have be»*n on for the past week, and
up to Thursday seven of the foundries
and the .molders have reached agree
ments for a future working basis that
satisfactory to both sides. The
agreements are of such nature it is
believed that all foundries in the city
will accept them within the next week,
with the possible exception of the two
shops where strikes are on at present.
And it is thought that even in these
shops there is a good chance that the
differences existing at present may be
adjusted, at least this is true of one
of the shops.
The agreements entered, into the
past week call for a slight reduction
of last year's wage scale, but all other
hop conditions are to continue as for
merly, including the eight-hour day.
That the molders and their employ
ers are coming to satisfactory agree
ment is good news, and was received
with smiles by the workers and the
business men, as much of the city's
industrial progress hinges on her
many foundries.

Mr. F. J. Beam, superintendent of

and Mr. Robert J. Radcliffe, of Jack

Ford interests, were visitors in Ham

were the guests of James A. Connelly,
better known throughout the world as
Packing Box Jim." The two visitors
did riot deny that they came here to
look up the merits of Connelly's brake
shoes, which will be given a test on
Henry Ford's private train in the near
future. If the Connelly brake shoes
prove a success, thousands of tons of

SAYS "THRIFT CAM
PAIGN" IS "BAD
FOR BUSLNtiSS"
New York. "A national prosper
ity" movement is now under way. Its
purpose will be to induce people to
spend money freely—that is, those
who have it to spend. The promoters
say the recent "thrift campaign" was
"bad for business" and the people
now need stimulating to overcome the
narcotic effect of the "thrift" idea.
Some of those forward looking saviors
who were beating the torn toms for
thrift have been induced into the
"prosperity army." They now explain
that the "thrift campaign" was not
wholly concerned with saving money
only—"wise saving," it is called. The
movement related to "thrift of money,
thrift of time and thrift of life." All
of which clarifies the situation.

Quarter of Million Dollars Spent on
"The Black Panther's Cub," Star
ring Broadway's Favorite Flor
ence Reed.
Photodrama Sets Pace for Regal
Msignitieance and Uorgeounneas of
Keenea and Dramatic Effects.
The W. K. Ziegfeld production,
"The Black I'anther's Cub," starring
Florence Reed, which is based on
Swinburne's immortal poem, "Faus
tine," is heralded as a production
which cost to produce more than
$250,000. it is one of the first of the
really big productions to be made in
the Fast, and is accepted as concrete
proof of the recent statement by sev
eral big producers that it is no longer
necessary to go to California to make
good pictures.
In regard to the tcenes of Parisian
night life, which were made in sets
constructed in the studios, none other
than Director Emile Chautard, who is
French, is needed as an authority that
they are correct in every possible de
tail.
"The Black Panther's Cub" sets the
pace for regal magnifiicance and gor
geousness in photodramatic produc
tion. No expense was spared in the
construction of the scenes. Miss Reed
herself spent a small fortune on
gowns and the cast which Mr. Zieg
feld assembled tp support Miss Reed
in itself represents another fortune.
Norman Trevor, who is now starring
in "Enter Madame" at the Fulton
theatre in New York, is the principal
supporting member of the cast, while
others of scarcely less prominence are
Tyrone Power, Earle Foxe, Henry
Stephenson, William Roselle, Mile.
Da/ie and Paula Shay.
"The Black Panther's Cub" is a
scintillating, fascinating and enthral
ling story of night life in Paris, and
the quieter and more refined exist
ence of the English countryside. In
the production Miss Reed plays a
dual role with such overwhelming real
ism that it seems almost impossible.
The added attraction will be Harry
Setnon, the king of comedians, in a
thrilling comedy, "The Sawmill."
Thursday and Friday—Alice Calhoun
in "The Little Minister"
"The Little Minister," one of the
most famous, stories ever written, has
been made into a special production
by Vitagraph with Alice Calhoun in
the stellar role. It will be shown at
the Rialto theatre on Thursday and
Friday.
Vitagraph has owned the rights to
James M. Barrie's far famed story for
years and believes that there is no
time more propitious for making
film super-feature out of it. Alice
Calhoun is regarded as a perfect type
for the role created of Lady Babble,
which has become an established char
acter of fiction. She has for years
yearned for just such a role as that
in Barrie's incomparable creation.
A prominent trade authority recent
ly placed the probable value of not
less than half a million dollars on the
rights to produce this story in a pro
duction in keeping with its ineffable
charm. And in making the film Vita
graph has endeavored to maintain all
of the simplicity and beauty of the
original story which is so brilliant in
the pages of dramatic literature. Only
a Barrie, it is said, could have created
a dramatic document such as this.
The added attraction will be a Hall
room comedy, entitled "Beechnuts."
Saturday-—Big Dramatic "Punch" in
Hammerstein Play
"Remorseless Love," in which Elaine
Hammerstein will be presented at the
Rialto theatre for a one day engage
ment, is a somewhat different type
of story from any in which the popu
lar screen star has yet appeared. The
scenes are laid in the Kentucky moun
tains and the action has to do with
dramatic incidents growing out of one
of the ages-old feuds for which that
section is celebrated.
There are no ballrooms or evening
gowns. Miss Hammerstein appear?
as a young girl whom a little educa
tion has failed to change from the
prototype of her ancestors, whose loves
and hates were as strong and wild as
the winds that rocked their mountain
trees.
The big "punch" arrives in a court
room scene during which the girl,
threatened with violent death if she
dares to tell the truth, braves every
thing for the man she loves.

THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS
BRUIN HAD SENSE OF HUMOR
No Other Explanation of Animal's
Taking Picture of His Enemy in
Humiliating Flight.
For a long time bears have been
known to be humorous, but not until
a few days ago was It demonstrated
that a black bear, If properly ap
proached, will display artistic leanings,
remarks a writer in the New York
Sun. Somewhere In the dim lore of
bruin generations there may have
been bears that had artistic inclina
tion or the subject of this story may
be the advance agent of a new ultra
tendency in wild life. Every supposi
tion, however, fails to explain satis
factorily how a black bear in the wil
derness of the Allegheny park could
learn enough about a camera to take
pictures.
Nevertheless, It is true that at least
one bear knows photography, accord
ing to R. S. Craig, a forester from the
New York State College of Forestry.
Craig is engaged by the park com
mission to assist in making a study of
the timber growth In the new state
park. Black beurs have always been
plentiful in thits section, where the
Allegheny river winds through the
mountains down to the Ohio. Craig
was cruising through the foiest gath
ering timber data. Ue left his camera
on a log and was looking around for a
good subject to snap when he discov
ered a big black bear browsing in
some berry bushes.
Craig was surprised. He neglected
to think of the camera in the concen
trated effort to place distance be
tween himself and the bruin. He ran
down the trail back to the camp and
informed two companions of the pres
encts of the black bear. The three
men went back to the spot, but the
bear had disappeared. The camera
Craig left on the log was still where
he placed it, but a plate had been ex
posed. This did not attract attention
until the plate was developed and
showed him iu rapid tiight down the
trail
CHIEFTAIN DIED LIKE HERO
Two Armies Watched Brave Arab a*
He Rode Alone Into the Ranks
of His Enemies.
Col. Thomas B. Lawrence, In the
World's Work, gives this very vivid
description of the death of one of
his Arabian chiefs:
After some minutes Talal very slow
ly drew his beadeloth about his face
and then seemed to take hold of him
self, for he dished his stirrups into his
horse's flanks and galloped headlong,
bending low in the saddle and sway
ing as though he would fall, straight
at the main body of the enemy. It
was a long ride down the gentle slope
and across the hollow, and we all sat
there like stone while he rushed for
ward, the drumming of his horse's
hoofs sounding unnaturally loud in
our ears. We had stopped shooting
and the Turks had stopped shooting
both armies waited for him. He flew
on in this hushed evening till he was
only a few lengths from the enemv
Then he sat up in his saddle and cried
his war cry, "Talal, Talal," twice in
a tremendous voice. Instantly all their
rifles and machine guns crashed ou
together and he and his mare, riM
died through and through with bu
lets, fell dead among their lam
points.
