Thursday. Forty delegates representing eyery

nature, was on the propriety Of paying further

has come up for consideration in view of the
conf1lctng declsjOns-on the one hand of JUDGES
Blodsett and Drummond, Of the Illinois court,
aud on the other, OF Judges McCrearv and Love
OF Iowa The old barb wire ASSOCIATION, known
as the Manufacturers Equitable, Is dead, and
IN the hands of a receiver, but it is not unlikely
that the manufacturers will prepare to conserve
the interests of their trade by the formation of
new association. The history of the griev.
ance IN brief is as followa Some years ago
man in central Illinois invented q machine for
twisting wire, which has become very essen
tlal element in the manufacture of barbed wire
fences. A Massachusetts firm purchased
the entire rights of the inventor,
and have had for several years mon
opoly OF the patent twisters. The firm imme-
dlately refused the use of the machine to any
other unless large royalty were paid upon
each machine used. Finally many establish
ments ln,the country became the licenses of the
Massachusetts, firm, and it was reaping an i'm
mense profit from the business. The licensees
haaily became tired of paving large percent
age OF their profits in royalties, and about fifty
suits have grown out of the trouble These
were generally decided in favor of the Worces-
seer hrm Last week, however the Massachu-
setts firm struck snag in the adverse decision
OF couple of Iowa courts, which held the
patent to be invalid and the monopoly unwar-
ranted. The oppressed concerns took courage
AZ thls and decided to make formal organiza-
ton and press the matter vigorously, until
they get what they consider their rights.
