ONE CENT.
A BIG MOROCCO SUIT.


THE PATENT TANNAGE COMPANY.
OF PHILADELPHIA. INSTITUTES
PROCEEDINGS AGAINST FOUR
LOCAL FIRMS.
Some time ago the Evening Journal
announced that the Tannage Patent
Company. of Philadelphia. would bring
suit against certain morocco manufac-
turers in this city for alleged infringe
ment OF its patented chrome tannage.
The patent alleged to have been in
fringed is a chemical process for the
tanning OF glazed kid. The process was
discovered by a Philadelphia chemist
named Schultz, who at first did not
realize the real Importance OF It's COM
mercial value. Schultz took a small
quantity of the process to George y.
Roth, of the firm OF Blumenthal a CO.,
and Roth, who is an expert on tannage
process, Immediately saw its value, and
offered Schultz a large sum Of money
fot his discovery. IL was accepted. and
Roth became sole owner Later he sold
his rights to the Tannage Patent Com
pany. reserving for his frm, however,
the right to use the process.
Other morocco firms recognized the
utility and importance of the tannage,
and without securing rights from the
owners used the chrome process. The
Tannage Patent Company sells the
right to use the patent on a royalty,
said to be $500 a year, and 121a cents
on each dozen skins turned out
The firms involved in the suit are the
Ford Morocco Company, William b.
Clerk. Charles Baird Company and Gar
rett q Barr The subpoenas were served
/ chic morning and made rpiurnablo on
April 8.
Representatives Of each firm when
seen this morning refused to talk about
the matter. but stated however, that
they intended to fight the proceedings.
The case will be one of much interest.
and will be watched by morocco manu-
facturers all over the country. It IL al
legged that the Ford Company alone,
had il complied with the rulings OF the
Tannage Company, would have paid
$50 600 In royalties
The counsel for the complainants
have served notice on each defendant
that on February 26, or as soon there
after as hearing can be had, motion
will be made by the complainants for q
? preliminary injunction, restraining and
enioining the defendants from using
the said process, as filed In the bill oi
complaint
All Of the morocco manufacturers II
this city will meet this afternoon at th'
CLAYTON House to take action regarding
/, the protection of their interest. Thu
firms of Blumenthal e. Co. and J. Park
Postles' Company will not be repre-
sented. as the latter firm swore to affi
davits in the United States Court agains
