HEAVY DAMAGES ASKED.

The suit which the Westinghouse Air Brake Com

Company in 1895 on the Dixon and Westinghouse
patents IN the United States courts to rCsran the
alleged infringement Of the patents having been
finally decided by the United States Circuit Court
Of Appeals in favor Of the New-York Air Brake
Company and against the Westinghouse company
the New-York Air Brake Company has through its
attorneys Cary & Whitrdge. begun action In
the New-York Supreme Court against the West
inghouse Air Brake Company and George Westng-
house jr TO recover damages which claimed
TO the amount OF 100000, for injuries suffered by
Il IN its business a result OF this litigation and
the various acts and dongs OF the Westinghouse
company in connection herewith. The complaint
IN the action now begun in the Supreme Court sub
stantially charges follows:
I'm 1885, after the decision had been rendered ad-
verse to the form of brake which the New York
Air Brake Company was then making. in the
earlier suits which had beer brought on the earlier
Westinghouse patents. against the New-York Air
Brake Company that the Westinghouse COM
pany and It's president. George Westinghouse. IT,
undertook TO take advantage OF those decisions to
establish a monopoly in the sale OF their brakes
and TO- by an elaborate system Of unlawful acts
drive the New-York Air Brake Company out OF
the market. These efforts were materially aided

Company in sending TO the Westinghouse com

OH aers of air brakes, advising them that IL had
begun this suit and giving them notice that II they
purchased any air brakes from the New-fork AIT

I,,aoo wallace and was decided by him in May,
1905 and in his decision he held that the Dixon
patent was lacking I'm patentable novelty anu tha'
the claims Of the Westinghouse patent were merely
a transparent attempt to appropriate the coii-
bination of which Albert Massey, the inventor
Of the New-York company's new form Of air
dismissed the bill OF the Westinghouse company
which thereupon appealed to tho United states
Circuit Court Of Appeals. Notwithstanding this
adverse decision. the Westinghouse company con-
tinued to issue notices through the country to
purchasers Of air brakes to the effect that 1t was
advised by counsel that this decision would be re-
versed upon appeal. and that In the long run 1t
would succeed in holding the New-York company
as infrngers The Westinghouse company In
formed many persons and corporations IN the
habit Of purchasing air brakes that the plaintin
was an insolvent and irresponsible corporation
and that the bonds which had been given TO pur-
chasers TO protect them against the claims OF the
Westinghouse company. II successful In The lltiga-
ton. were practically worthless and straw bonds
The statement Is made on behalf or the New
York Air Brake Company that, "as the Westing-
house company Is a large and powerful corporation
having great hold over the railroads there IS
no doubt that by It's acts and doings II has pre-
vented the New-York company from building up
what would have been an enormous trade II II had
not been for this litigation and the notices ana
threats and other means resorted to TO drive away
possible purchasers and the officers OF the New
York Air Brake Company feel confident that when
the case comes before the jury and all the facts
are heard and brought out in court. they Will nave
no difficulty in obtaining a very large verdict Tor
the damages which they have suffered"
