Brighten Customers by Suits.

The bill also alleges that there are
only three elevator companies not in
the combination carrying on business
west of the Rocky mountains, and in
order to drive these companies out of
business and secure an absolute mon
opoly the Otis Elevator Company has
instituted suits against them for al
legged infringement of its patents,
which suits are brought solely to har-
ass and injure them, and when one of
these Independent firms secures con
tract the Otis Elevator Company mott
fies the customer that it has brought
suit against the Independent company
for infringement, and if the customer
allows the independent copmany to
carry out the contract, he-the Gus
tomer-will thereby become liable for
damages for said infringement.
The bill prays that the defendants
he perpetually enjoined from carrying
out their illegal combination and from
further agreeing and combining to-
gether to control the trade and COM
MERGE in elevators and to deprive the
people of the several states of the ben
eft of rates and prices derived from
free and unrestrained competition in
said business
The facts in this case have been for
many months under investigation by
the department of justice. They were
originally brought to the attention of
the department through complaints
made to the president and to the at
torney general.

COURT CALLS A HALT.
SAYS LICENSING BUSINESS IS
CARRIED To FAR.
IF 1t Continues, 1t Will Not Be Long Be-
fore No Man Can Engage in Honest
Toll Without a License Liberty
Does Not Occupy Second Place in
Our Fundamental Law.

The state plumbing board has been
wiped out by the supreme court in the
decision of the case of A. J. Richey
against Sheriff l.. c. Smith. of King
county. Richey was arrested and fined
: Is and costs in justice coult in Seat
tie for doing work as journeyman
plumber without securing a license
from the state plumbing board
Riley sued Oh a habeas corpus APP
plication. which the superior court
denied. An appeal was taken. The
supreme corut in its opinion says in
part as follows:
The doctor, the lawyer. the den
fist. the baker, the horseshoer and the
plumber have already received favora-
bic consideration at the hands of our
legislature, and the end is not yet. for
the nurse and the undertaken are
knocking at the door.
1T will not do to say that any oc-
cupation that may remotely affect the
public health is subject to this kind
of legislation. If so, it will be but a
short time before man cannot en-
gage in honest toll to earn his daily
bread without first purchasing IL
cense or permit from some board or
commission.
THE public health is entitled to
consideration at the hands of the leg
islative department., but it must be
remembe that liberty does not oc-
cupy a secondary place in our funda-
mental law.
1--WE are not permitted to inquire
into the motive Of the legislature. and
yet, why should court blindly de-
clare that the public health is involv-
ed when all the rest of mank ind know
full we'll that the control of the plumb
ing business by the board and its H.
censees is the sole end in view?
I'VE are satisfied that the act has
no such relation to the public health
as will sustain it as police or sani-
tary measure, and that its interference
with liberty brings it in direct conflict
with the constitution of the United
States.
Justice Rudkin wrote the opinion.
which is signed by Chief Justice
Mount and Justices Dunbar, Fuller
ton and Hadley. Justice Grow files a
dissenting opinion.
This One Is Discriminatory.
The court also wiped out the act of
the legislature of 1908 requiring the
payment of $500 annual license by
agents of agricultural machinery and
carriage houses of other states who
do business in Washington. The de-
cision was made in the habeas corpus
application of George Z. Bacon. Ba-
con is the agent OF the Spaulding Man
ufacturing Company. of Grinnell,
Iowa, and sold wagon in this state
without procuring license.
The supreme court goes into the
matter at length. 1t holds that the
act is discriminatory, is an irterfer-
ence with interstate commerce and
is unconstitutional because it applies
only to the sale of goods manufacture
ed without this state and requires no
such license for articles made in Wash
ington. The writ is ordered issued
and that Mr.. Bacon be discharged
from custody and the charge against
him dismissed.

How the Combine Is Worked.

1t is charged that these copmanies
make and sell at least eighty per cent
of all the elevators used in that terri
tory, and that they have entered into
combine among themselves to con-
troll and enhance the prices at which
elevators are sold; that in order to
make the combination effective the
Otis Elevator Company has acquired
the whole or majority interest in the
business of all the other defendants.
although said defendants are said to
be operating as apparently separate
and Independent concern; that when
an inquiry is received from customer
by any of the defendants it is immedi-
ately referred to the Otis Elevator
Company, and, if there is no outside
competition, that company designates
the concern which is to get the bust
ness, fixes an excessive and exorbitant
price to be charged and directs the
other companies to submit bids. ap-
parently in good faith, but higher
than the bid of the company which
has been designated to receive the
contract; if outside competition does
appear, one of these subsidiary com.
panies is directed to take the contract
at loss IN order to freeze out conpe-
tition.
