CHICAGO has ESSANAY
Big Film Company Closes Other
Establishments and Concen-
trates Its Studios Here.

Chicago now has exclusively, the
biggest film company in America.
With the opening of a new studio, the
third on the north side, the Essanay
company has chosen It's two outside
establishments, one in Niles and the
other in Los Angeles, preferring to
concentrate its efforts in Chicago. OF
the four prominent concerns identi-
fed with the film industry, Selig, Es-
sanay, Kleine and American, Essanay
is the only company with perma-
nent producing plant in this city.
Selig takes the pictures at his studio
in Chicago intermittently, while in
Glendale, Cal, he produces plays con.
tinuously; the American has its stu.
dos in Santa Barbara, Cal, and con.
ducts its business affairs in this city:
and Kleine's producing activities are
in the Bronx, New York City.
The Essanay studios are. equipped
with artificial lighting facilities which
enable its producers to stage plays
in all sorts of weather, while the days
of sunshine are devoted mostly to
exterior scenes. George X. Spoor.
president of the company has been
a persistent booster for Chicago on
account of its central location.

ut is not necessary to go to Cali

makes an ideal substitute, and you
need not fret over rain and clouds.
While in the past capital was repre-.

tiles Of Trenton, N. j., have Quann-

employees assembled in secret session
Friday morning 10 vote on President
Wilson'S plan for averting nation

ference before going to the White
House later in the day.
There were indications that the en-
ployes would vote to accept President
Wilson's proposal of basic eight
hour day and settlement Of other is
sues by a special commission, but the
hone for settlement was endangered
by evidence that the railroad presi-
dents were not inclined to grant an
eight-hour day unless it be decided
by arbitration. and in any event they
might ask President Wilson for a lit
tie time to think over his proposition.
The time for his conference with
the railroad presidents had been set
for 1890 this morning, but they
found 1t impossible to be prepared
with their statement at that hour and
the time was changed to 2 O'Clock this
afternoon.
The railroad presidents want arbi-
tratIon under the Newlands act with
two arbitrators for the roads, two
for the men and two for the public.
The disposition was said Friday to be
to insist upon action of that character
and not yield to President Wilson, $

comes from an arbitration board.
Some of the presidents are said to
feel that the public will support their
offer to arbitrate everything in dis
