CONTROL OF SHOE MACHINES
ALLEGED TRUST AGAINST WHICH
MANUFACTURERS PROTEST.
Efforts cling Made by the Department
of Justice to Obtain Information
Reg, riding Reported Combination.

Not content with looking into the past
and present histories of a dozen or so
trusts and taking legal action against an
other dozen in the United States courts,
the Department of Justice has now started
a movement to find out something about
another. This time it is the United Ma
Chinery Company, with headquarters in
Massachusetts, a combination that is al
legel TO control all the machinery that
makes the 100000, 600 shoes manufactured
In the United States. Shoe manufacturers
everywhere are protesting against this
trust. declaring that its plants are SO con-
trolled that there is no competition in the
leasing of machinery. The machinery is
not sold. but leased. and the company owns
and controls all the patents for making
shoes 1t has gradually acquired all these
patents. and is in position, 1t Is said, to
shake down the shoemakars at It's own
sweet will.
Just what can be done to break up the
shoe machinery trust the department does
not know. 1t has been at work against the
trusts for a number of years and has OBJ
tanned all sorts of favorable decisions
against them. but still the trusts continue
to do business. The meat trust, which has
been pursued by the administration in and
out of the courts, in and out of Congress,
in and out of the White House, Is still do
ing business to the tune of an extra charge
of or cents a pound more for meats than
1t got when the fight against it was be-
gun. The Standard Oil people continue to
fix the price of oil in the old days, Hill
still has a close combination of three or
four railroads in spite of the Mort hern Sc
Curities decision, and now the thread trust
has raised the price of sewing cotton wom-
en- use in making the clothes OF their
families and themselves.

STABLE IN BLOOM|NGDALE
BELIEF THAT COMMISSIONERS
WILL CHANGE SITE.
Action at District Building Expected
Next Saturday-Statement To-
day by Mr.. Mcfarland.

The question of locating the new District
stable in the block bounded by Adams,
Bryant. I'd and Sd streets, which has been
the subject of much comment. especially
by the residents of the Bloomingdale Sec
ton, who are opposed to the erection of
the stable the site mentioned. will in
all probability be definitely settled next
Saturday. 1t is the opinion of officials in a
position to know that the matter will be
settled to the satisfaction of the citizens
concerned, and that the Bloomingdale site
will be abandoned notwithstanding the
recommendation of Capt. Jay ]. Morrow.
Engineer Commissioner.
Commissioner Morrow has formally rec
commended TO his colleagues that the sta
BILE be erected on the Bloomingdale site.
The recommendation was placed in the
hands of Commissioner mcfarland as
president OF the board for his views. and he
said today that he will give IL careful con-
sideration before acting. 1t is believed that
Commissioner Mcfarland will respect the
wishes of those who filed the protest.
What Mr.. Mcfarland Says.
Commissioner Mcfarland made the fol-
lowing statement today:
Il have just read Commissioner Morrows
recommendations about the water depart
ment stable, which / received yesterday.
great care after consideration of the nrgu-
ments made at the public hearing and after
a fresh inspection of the neighborhood
They are, of course. entitled to my careful
consideration before action, and shall take
at least day for that purpose.
Commissioner Morrow's recommenda-
tons do not go to Commissioner West until
after 1 have acted upon them. so that 1
have. of course. no recommendation from
Commissioner West to consider. Commits
sioner Morrow, as Immediately in charge OF
the water department, takes the initiative
in this matter under the uniform practice
Of the Commissioners. and sends his recon-
mendations first to the president of the
board. His reasons for recommending that
the stable should be on the Bryant street
site are:
''First-That 1t ought to be near the water
department headquarters at the Bryant
street pumping station, and that no other
sic in that neighborhood is available.
"Second-That there Is no possibility OF
contamination of the city's water supply.
'"Third-That there Is no possibility of I'M
favorable effect upon Mcmillan Park.
"Fourth-That the objections respecting
the possible depreciation of the value of
property throughout Bloomingdale are be-
lieved to be extremely overdrawn.
"Fifth-No more suitable or less objec-
tionable site could be found.
Il shall take up these points in order In
my recommendations on the subject
