not yet being rendered in the courts at

pany. The defendants in this suit are
charged with infringing on the patent
OF the plaintiff Should tho court
decide against the international Com
pany, they will avoid any future trouble
by changing their machines, which viii
perhaps cause delay in their work of
six months. President Woodruff stated
that the company would remodel their
machines according to the decision Of
the court.
