dlence Many familiar faces are in the
cast, including George f. Nash, for
merly Roland Reeds leading man, and
John II. Sullivan. The piece is an ex-
cellent one. The complications that
arise and spread over affairs in unend-
ing succession throughout the move
lment of the play keep the spectator
expectant and constantly amused, De-
cldedly. "A Bachelors Honeymoon"
made hit. Mr.. Nash, as Bachelor,
the Bachelor" takes role that suits
his vigorous style very well, and Mr..
Sullivan's representation was amusing
at all times, Miss Camille Cleveland,
as Miss Arbuckle, was charming, but
the best bit of work in the entire cast
was by Miss Virginia Jackson, whose
"mad-serVant with q clew-ln-her
head" was really fine piece of acting.

Steel Billet Manufacturers EeIng Drawn
Into the Wire Comblnatlon-E Extensive
Interests Involved.
All OF the steel billet mills OF the coun-
try are to be given an opportunity to
get under the wing of the wire industry
consolidation IL they so desire. This, a
steel man said In Cleveland the other
day, was his understanding,
This is going one step further than
the latest that has been published in
this direction. The Information IS out,
says the Cleveland Leader, that con-
tracts arc to be made with two or more
of the large steel mills OF the country
for use Of large part OF their output.
II the latter statement is correct, SINH.
lar contracts may be made with any
other billet mill that SO desires, This
applies to steel capacity other than that
which is to be bought by the consoll-
dalton In connection with its purchases
of mills which have wire rod capacity.
Those with whom the American steel
and wire company will thus make con-
tracts for the use of q part OF the out
put must agree not to sell to any other
manufacturers OF wire rods not In the
consolidation. II does not apply OF
course, to sales to sheet mills, for eX-
ample.
This move in the big chess game upon
the board OF the wire industry ls the
placing of n piece simply to close a
possible line of attack at some later
stage az the game. Since the new or
ganlzatlon will be apt TO disturb. pres
ent relations OF demand and supply In
the steel trade, speculation has pictur-
ed the mills which might possibly be de-
prived OF their steel billet consumers
in the wire line as taking steps to build
wire rod mills Of their own. While,
with all the big rod mills Of the coun-
try under the one ownership the ne
cessity OF marketing something like 5O,-
600 or 100000 tons OF rods year to make
such a move hardly probable, yet 70 Is
just enough Of possibility 90 prompt
the careful planners now projecting the
big organization to wish to prelude the
danger. This could be done by giving
all OF The billet mills share in the ad-
vantages OF the consolidation, and the
promise that they should sell to no
other rod mills would be another source
OF security for the big corporation.
Considering the ideas which people
have in the past held with regard to
1.-THE probable behavior OF interests hav-
ing an entire control OF the situation,
the natural thought OF the popular
mass would anticipate heavy tax up
on the consumer In the way OK added
profits. But such Is not the expectation
OF men who are students OF the present
iron situation.
