EXPLANATION MADE
OF FAILURE TO ACT

Inquiries addressed sometime ago to
Steel corporation officials about the
reason for the continued closing of the
Fairfield plant brought this explana-
ton: The Steel corporation has a cer-
tain amount of wire products at this
time which is below so per cent. 1t is
charged by the government that the
Steel corporal ton Is a trust operating
in violation of the Sherman laws. II
would result in the Steel corporation
having a percentage greater than half
the products of this country If the
Fairfield plant were started There
fore would it be wise to start that
plant at this time, when the suit Is
pending and run our product past the
salty mark? When our competitors
increase their output so we can start
Fairfield without garnering over half
the total output then Fairfield will be
started"
From that time until yesterday ef-
forts have been made to get the plant
open. President Palmer of the Wire
company, President G. G. Crawford of
the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
company, Judge Gary, President Far
rell and others have been appealed to
TO get the plant finished and operate It.

Boys Plan for Free Film Show Is Halted

CLEVELAND. O.-Dreams of long
~ hours spent in an improvised mo-
ton picture theater of their own, with
no admission price to pay, and no ush-
ers to request them to make room"
for somebody else, we're well on the
way toward realization for two West
side boys the other day, when officers
from the juvenile court interfered and
confscated their OUTFIT, which, it is
charged, was stolen from the Victor
theater.
The alleged confessions of Walter
Kruger and Harry WORKS, each four
teen years old, to Probation officer
Lewis explained why patrons o. tho
theater found the place closed one re-
cent Sunday night
The boys, according to the tu7enile
court officers, said they thought they
would like to have a playhouse all
their own, and decided it would be
easier to have someone else furnish
the paraphernalia than 1t would be
to save their pennies and buy the
necessary materials. They picked
on the manager Of the Victor as
their Santa Claus, but forgot to tell
him they had borrowed his motion
picture machine, several films.

With the first hint of dawn he was up
