16 THE SHOW WORLD January 16, 190! COLE BROTHERS SIGN CIRCUS AGREEMENT Charles Ringling Acting for AffDated Interests, Refused to Sign Last Sunday. The Cole Brothers Show has signed the Billposters’ and Billers’ agreement for 1909, making three circuses which have agreed to the demands of the Interna¬ tional Alliance to date. The Ringling Brothers’ Show, the Barnum & Bailey, The Buffalo Bill and Pawnee Bill Wild West are represented in this matter by Charles Ringling, an” —'- J sign at a meeting y .e he refused to ... .j George R. Elliott last Sunday, all hopes of getting together are not gone, for the circus-*“-* The John Rol in a position i meeting shortly. _ who would manage it next season. Now that this point is determined it is thought John G. Robinson will delay un¬ til he finds what is the result of the Ringling action. The position in which the Ringling Brothers find themselves is a peculiar one. Controlling as they do the two largest tented enterprises in America, it is rather dictatorial for the Billers to formulate their agreement without con- malice. In one case where two billers had attached the circus at Sioux City last cummer, the amount was returned to Mr. Wallace by the union. W. E. Franklin, general manager of the Sells-Floto Shows, had always waited for the Ringling Brothers to sign, but t ". i. year he acted independently and signed after Harvey. The Cole Brothers w the third show to sign. The Ringling Brothers object to the scale of salaries (section three) and wr two more scales inserted. They also ob¬ ject to the clause (section twelve), which provides that the circuses shall pay the fare of the billers back to the opening point when the season ends. This works a hardship on them, as the Ringling Brothers show jumps from Baraboo, Wis., to New York to open, and the Barnum Show comes from Bridgeport, Conn., to Chicago, to open. The circus committee of the billers are to meet soon and within a day or two the final decision in the matter is expected to reach the public. SHIPP GIVES UP TRIP TO SOUTH AMERICA.
