The hearing of the case brought by Clifford C. Fisher against the U. B. O., charging that organ- ization is a monopoly In restraint of trade nnder tbe meaning of the Sherman Antl-Tmst Law, was scheduled tor Tuesday, Oct 12, aa we go to press. U. B, Marlnelll has been made a co-defendant, owing to the fact that the latter haS entered Into a contract with the U. B. O., whereby all foreign acts must be booked by them through the Mar'- nelll Agency. lAls, It Is claimed, would act detri- mental to Fisher's agency as well as all others bsndling foreign acts. Tbe suit Is being watched with Interest. As the U. B. O. does not control all ot the theatres In the United States, and as traffic In acta could hardly be called a trade In a commodity, there are many sice points that will, no doubt, be brought out before a decision Is reached by the court. * % » REVIVING THE TEX O'CLOCK CLUB.
