Washington, April 13-ln his ad-

that American export trade in shoes

he blamed the United Shoe Mach :

ago obtained control of the best
patents and in one way or auo ther
has developed situation by which
It has become tho best customer for

/ do not believe that the same shoe

precisely along this line that Mr..
George Il. Keith, of Brockton, Mass. 4,
spoke at meeting Of shoe men in
Boston just before the hearings before

Keith is the largest exporter ofAmer-
lean shoes. He makes the Walkover
shoe. He had just returned from n

self was In no. danger, he warned the
medium priced men that they were in
great danger. Mr.. Keith came on to
Washington to the hearings, aocomp.
