TRACTOR GIVES

ELEPHANT
Moving of Heavy Circus Cages
Now Effectively Performed
by Electric Machines.

Circus elephants the country over
are in high glee. From their keep
ers and the tent men they have
learned that from now on they'll
have more time for munching hay,
begging peanuts and contemplating
the infinite in true Hindu style.
No longer will the calm of eIe-
plant row be disturbed when the
animal cages have to be moved
about. Electricity has done it.
Circuses are now using storage bat
terry tractors for handling cages of
lions, tigers, leopards. and bears.
The elephants and tent men are not
fhe last bit sorry, for pulling such
cages around on the soft earth un-
der the "big-top" is a husky job
for good-sized elephant or sixteep
extra able bodied men.
This is how it came about: When
the Ringing Brothers-Barnum &
Bailey circus was showing in New
ark, N. j., little while ago a
persevering tractor salesman asked
the general manager to let him
demonstrate what an electric trac.
tor would do. The circus master
mechanic was called in and for the
purposes Of the test supplied a, cage
holding twelve polar bears whose
combined weight was over foIr
tons.
The tractor was hitched to the
cage and started for the center ring

their act The trip was done 50
| quickly and easily that before 1.-The

other circuses are asking how soor

MINE PAY SESSION
HALTED TEN DAYS
Men and Operators So. Far
Without Agreement on
Cardinal Demands.

By the Associated Press ..-
ATLANTIC CITY, y. j.. July 10
Anthracite operators and miners. who
have been here for a week in a pre-
l!nlinary discussion of the demands
presented by the men in the working
out of new wage agreement to be-
come effective September l., adjourned
early yesterday until July 90. when the
conference will meet here again
The full scale committee of the
two sides he'd two general sessions
and the subcommittee met four times
without arriving at any conclusions
on the cardinal demands made by the
men.
The operators in their discussions
so far have agreed to meet the miners
demands in two instances. One is the
abolition of the twelvc-hour day as
soon as practicable and as far as pos
Siblc, and the other is that after
grievance has been referred by the
Cancellation board to the umpire he
shall render a decision within thirty
days.
Discuss Other Demands.
All other demands are still under
discussion. The result of the con-
ference shows that the operators are
committed to no suspension during
negotiations, AMI that any agree
ment arrived at shall be retroactive
10 September in the event the par
ley goes beyond that date
They desired the continuous oper
alton of the mines. in order to aIlay
the public mind. The miners are OPP
posed to any agreement on non-sus-
pension, on the ground that 1t would
not insure contract before August
81. when the present one expires
anu would remove the necessity of
the operators coming to a speedy
understanding with the miners
The subcommittee late yesterday
afternoon and last night took up the
demands for uniformity and equali-
zation of all day rates, dockage diff
ferentials, ami the question of
whether the men working twelve
hours a day shall have their pay
reduced in the event their day is
shortened.
Scale Committee to Meet.
The adjournment over next week
was taken SO as TO permit members
Of the miners scale committee from
district No. 1 to attend the biennial
convention of the miners of that dis
trict.
While the district convention will
have no direct effects on the wage
demands, the gathering will be one
Of the most important in years be-
cause of the fractional contest be-
tween William Brennan, who was de-
feated for reelection as district pres
ident by Rinaldo Cappellini. who has
been quite active in opposing the
miners administration in the Scran-
ton and Wilkes Barre territory. Cap
. pellini was elected by more than. 10, :
900 majority. There have been re-
ports that his election will be con-
tested on technicalities. If his. cleo
tion is ratified he will take office on
August /, and automatically become
q member of the subcommittee.
