Sewing Machines to Come Down.

WASHINGTON. March l0.-Adverse re-
ports have been agreed to by the Commit
tee on Patents on the appeal for an exten-
sion of the Wilson sewing machine pat
euts. This action will break up power
ful combination and make the invent, n
public property. The last OF these patents
expires in one year. Prices will then be
only one-half what they now are.
GGENERAL PRESS DISPATCH.
The application has been before Con
gress for several years, and protests
against the extension TO have been received
during that time signed by nearly one
million persons All the small sewing
machine companies which had be n re
quired to pay 4 heavy royalty to the sew.
ing machine combination, composed of the
four leading machines. have fought the
extension savagely since it was originally
presented. This refusal will ultimately
reduce the price Of sewing machines very
greatly as soon as the f,ur-motion f el
becomes public property. The committee
say that the applicant has already made
two or three large fortunes out of his in,
vention. and that it is time now to give the
public q chance. The testimony taken be
fore the committee shows that the cost o.
sewing machines is not more than from
