Germs to employ skilled men. They
placed all their practical men under
contracts, many Of which extended %
years. AS soon as they had reason to
believe that the independent concerns
were dickering with one of their men
they called him forward and asked
him to sign a contract at an advanced
salary. Even though they had no use
foc the man he was held under con.
tract in order to prevent the indepen.
dent corporations from employing him.
There are many men who are kept on
the pension list solely for the purpose
of guarding the interests of the two
great combines. Despite all this op-
position the Independent companies
have been successful in engaging men
who are away up in the business and
who are willing to cast their fortunes
with companies not owned and con-
trolled by the trusts.

all right until il is needed very badly
and then it fails, When several North

almost impossible the suffering was

Trusts Trying to Corner Them
to Iniure Independent Companies

Announcement was recently made
of the organization of two local COM
panies for the manufacture of matches
and hard rubber. The fact that the
corporations are to build plants here in
Akron and that both are to compete
with trusts tells only part of the
story. For weeks these companies
have been working to secure prac-
tical men to take the management
of the shops. The match and hard

rubber trusts have been aware of this
fact and both have made every effort
to block the new concerns. People
who have never offended trusts know
little of the methods that are EN-.
ployed against those who have incurred
their dlslikes. Some time ago the two
trusts got information of the fact
that competing companies were to be
formed. The trusts Immediately took
steps to make it diaicult for the con-

HUMAN FINGER PRINTS.
Possible Drawbacks TO Their Walt >
In Identification

The constancy of human finger prints
has chiefly been discussed in connection
with the identification of criminals. AS
sumlng that the evidence Of finger prints
is to be admissible in criminal proceed
insS, 1t will be not only necessary to
prove that in the case OF the same man
the finger prints remain unaltered. hut
that no two persons have identical finger
prints. Where is the evidence of this?
There are probably l.50O,0OO,000 men
and women on the earth. Can we sup
pose that no two of these have identical
finger prints? Nor indeed is this all. We
may be comparing the finger prints of a
living man with those of one who has
been dead for years past. and the doc
trine Of heredity might lead us to ex-
pect to find similar finger prints in the
case of parents and children and of diff
ferent children of the same parents. II
is at all events certain that if this finger
print system were once introduced into
our courts of justice there would be any
amount Of wrangling ms to whether they
were Identical OF only similar, experts
contradicting each other and involving
the whole subject in confusion.
Moreover, professional criminals would

person who committed Il crime-a muir.
der, for eXample-has left the imprint
of his fingers on anything it may prove
an important clcw, but the same thing
may &c said Of the imprint of his boots
or shoes. But clew is one thing and n
proof is another thing.
Let me point out another difficulty. In
a country whore there are large num-
ber of criminals whose finger prints are
collected the number of these will soon
be very large. How long would il take,
to examine this collection in order to find
out whether any of them corresponded
accurately with the finger prints of the
man who is now accused? The task
would, think, be hopeless one.
That finger prints may be important in
the detection of crime whenever the GRIM.
maj has left the print of his fingers be-
hind him ! do not dispute. but without
much stronger evidence than we now nos.
