most important contributions yet made
to topic OF paramount interest and
slgnlhcance-the sudden advance of the
United States to commanding posi-
ton in the competitive Industrial strug-

tenth century, Americas great dis
lance from the vast markets of Eu-

wages, long gave the European manu-
facturer sense OF confident security

shows that the concentration of Aper-

labor-saving machinery enabling work
of the highest accuracy TO be turned
out in enormous quantity by the simple
operative, has revolutloni2ed the situa-
ton. aided by the blind faulty of the

Of Patent TiII 1905.

WASHINGTON. May lo.-The Bell Tele-
phone Company has won the case brought
against II by the United States to annul
the last Berliner patent. This decision
has the effect of continuing the control OF
the telephone by the Bell company for
seventeen years from the date of the last
patent, which was granted in 1891 The
government was asked TO have the patent
set aside on the ground that the delay OF
thirteen years in the patent office was
fraudulent through the fault of the tele-
phone company, and that the patent is
sued in 1880 covered the same ground on
which patent was applied for in 1891.
The supreme court, in an opinion de-
livered today by Justice Brewer. held
there was no evidence of corruption or
undue influence exercised over the patent
office by the telephone company. and no
evidence that the delay In granting the
patent had been brought about by the
company The delay was through the
fault of the patent ofYice. Justice Harlan
dissented Justices Gray and Brown, 1t
