True Tales About Ohio
Concluded from page IL

residents along the route learned to
keep the shades down or block the
windows with flattened old news
papers.
Before the incline came, horsecar
riders paid one fare to ride to Lock
Street, then climbed the countless
steps and rough paths to the top OF
the bluff. With its coming they still
paid one fare to Lock Street, then
another to ascend the incline and a
third to Jolt through Eden Park TO
Walnut Hills, the towns then largest
suburb. It was good for the street
car company. So good that the Mt.
Adams utility alone was capitalized
at 100000.
The principal promoter of the IN
cline had a large interest in the
horsecar business. incidentally, when
cable cars displaced the mules he
became a heavy stockholder in the
electric business.
It was the Mt. Adams incline that
"made" the whole northeastern Sec
ton of Cincinnati-Walnut HIS,
Mount Auburn, Evanston, Norwood,
Kennedy Heights, Pleasant Ridge,
Oakley, Hyde Park, Obrienville TO
Madisonville. Until its advent, trans
portation there was terrible.
The incline's powerhouse is atop
Mt. Adams-a huge, brick station,
open at either end, where are located
the engine and big drums which wind
and unwind the cable to lift or lower
the platforms. There in the halycon
DAYS of the incline stood the great
"Highland House," parts of whose
walls went into the lockwood Pot
terry and the Sterling Glass factories
nearby.
Famous "Highland House."
The Highland House, established
in 1875, whose big building and great
beer garden were declared "the larg-
est in the world" was a year-round
resort and accommodated crowds of
from 5000 to 5000 persons on many
of its hot summer nights.
They rode the incline to the High
land House, then dined and winee
elegantly while listening to Theodore
Thomas orchestra or some other
famous musical organization. There
were gardens for the thirsty, bowl
ing alleys for the athletic and an
opera and concert pavilion for the
artistic.
Politicians began to use the place
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1949-03-10

Tor rallies and the sporting crowd
followed with walking contests
featuring dan O'Leary' and other
of his ilk. Roughhouse replaced the
sparkle and vivaciousness and finally
only those who loved frequent fight
patronized the place. It was torn
down in 1895. And now the incline
itself seems likely to go.
Five Inclines
Each of Cincinnati's five incIines
had its like rendezvous at the top.
The old Bellevue House at the top
of the incline leading from Elm
Street to the brow of the Bellevue
hill-now the Ohio Avenue hill, with
only some of the masonry remaining
the Main Street House at the top Of
the incline from Main Street to
where Gods Bible School now Is
located, on Mount Auburn; the Mount
Auburn incline itself; and lastly the
Price Hill incline, with the Price Hill
House-later dubbed "Buttermilk
Hill" because a local law in that
then separate municipality forbade
the sale of intoxicants.
There We're accdents-aplenty. One
MONDAY more than a half-century
ago a cable on the old Main Street
incline broke and let both platforms
crash. One of them nearly all the

Several passengers were killed, in
Guiding the superintendent of Cincin-
natl schools and the wife of the
towns most prominent furniture
dealer. Only 14-year-old boy es.
capped to tell the story and his tale
was vivid.
The superstructure and cables OF
the Mt. Adams incline however, have
been constantly inspected, tested and
kept in repair. No accident has hap
pened there. Each platform has an
extra cable for safety.
All the other inclines have gone
the way of lost pine and pug dogs
The Price Hill, few years ago was
the last to go. 1t caught fire and
burned down. There was much ado
about rebuilding and operating it,
persons on the hill at its top needing
the transportation. One city council
man suggested that the City of
Cincinnati rebuild and operate the
lift-as an esculator, like those in
department stores. Nothing has been
done about the matter and residents
of the hill walk to the streetca1
stops.
The escalator suggestion was top

City Manager G. 0. Sheriff., few
years ago, who suggested erection OF
a giant electric fan on Price Hill to
blow the smoke and smog out of the

and over the river into Kentucky

Uses of Straw

Straw, our most important crop
residue, now is going into wider
industrial use. In recent years there
has been particularly noticeable
expansion in use of processed
straw, mostly for making cigarette
papers, straw board and for pro-
ducing high quality writing paper.
In other countries it is used to make
brick, thatching roofs, as substi-
tute for twine and for making mats,
bags and wearing apparel, for fuel
and for many other household uses.

Pinkerton S and Unior
Get Joint Conviction
In Dues Firing Case
D. me Assoeiosse Press

Pinkerton's National Detective
Agency Inc. and CIO union were
held jointly guilty yesterday Of
violating the Taft-Hartley law by
firing four workers when they
failed to keep up on union dues.
Howard Myers. trial examiner
for the National Labor Relations
Board. ruled both had discrimi-
mated against the four employed as
waterfront guards by Pinkerton's S
regional Office in San Francisco.
He recommended that the ELRB
order the detective agency to re-
instate the four and that both
Pinkerton's and the union be re-
quired TO pay them almost a year S
back wages.
Affiliated with CIO.
The union involved is the Con-
tract Guards and Patrolmen's Or
ganizing Committee. an affiliate of
Harry Bridges CIO Longshore-
mems and Warehousemen's Union.
Although the international union
was charged with the same unfair
labor practice as the organizing
committee, Mr. Myers recon-
mended dismissal of these charges.
The Taft Hartley Act permits
employees to be fired for not keep
ing up their union dues If they
are covered by a valid union shop
agreement. But such a contract
Is valid under Taft-Hartley only
after employees vote on 1t. And the
election cannot be held until the
