output this season will be 1900 cars
This has taxed the Cadillac plant to its
fullest capacity, and to take care of the
great volume of business it has been
necessary for the company to purchase
a big tract of land near the present
plant. This property was formerly
occupied by car barns. A seven-story
addition to the plant is now under
construction. This will greatly in

ncunced so persistently and effectively.
But what of the Independents lett
out in the cold? Word comes to the
Globe from many sections that it is
possible new organization will be
formed or the old body reorganized,
as it is understood there is plenty of
material that might be used to form
strong body of officers, and of course
a manager will be found to lead the
flock.
1t must be remembered that two of
the leading manufacturers in point of
numbers of cars and standing. are still
without the Selden fold. These are
the Thomas b. Jeffrey company, max
ers Of the Rambler cars, and the
Ford Motor company of Detroit 1t
has been freely stated that the Ford
company has retained one of the great
est patent attorneys in the United
States to fight their second round with
the Selden patent owners, and that
| they hope to reverse the decision of
Judge Hough of Sept. 10, 1909, in which
the Selden patent was sustained.
"It is said that two more courts will
pass on the Selden patent validity and
as the patent expires in two years
there is hope that it will be two years
before the thing is finally settled; but
cf course that will not deny the Sell
den people the right of royalty collec-
ton in case there is anything left to
collect.
1T is further stated that the leading
independent manufacturers got into
the Selden fold on the ground floor.
Left Out in the Cold
lone of the serious effects of the col
lapse of the independent movement
will be the leaving out in the cold of
peope who pinned their faith to the
movement and invested a lot of capital
in various plants. These people nat
urally believe they have been be
trayed-that their manufacturing bark
has been left stranded while their more
fortunate fellows have got into har-
Dor safely.
1T is stated that the Association of
Licensed Automobile Manufacturers
will not license all applicants and that
they have already taken in about the
limit-as those already in the fold wish
to preserve the business to themselves,
or rather, to those now in the fold.
Although this would look much like
an action in restraint of trade the
United States government through ITS
patent laws viii sustain the refusal of
a license. This, of course, is in direct
contradiction TO the stand taken in
the matter of restraint of trade but
the patent laws give the patentee that
protection.

Motor Car Manufacturers association
will go out of business about February

practically everything else. That Is
why the Cadillac is immune from the
many annoying troubles.
But to forget Cadillac talk, the at

ing at one time to the racing association,
the witness testified to the amount of
$500 daily. The contribution, he said, was
made by the purchase daily of tickets and
the depositing Of them, 'in a box" When
these contributions began, he did not know,
but they ended seven or eight years ago.
The association made and laid wagers
