TO SAVE HIS PATENT.
Butler j. Haskins asks Injunction of
Company He Headed.


Suit to save what he claims are his
own interests in patent upon a
peanut-vending machine was brought
in the district court this morning by
Butler ]. Haskins against the Vend-
ing Machine and Manufacturing COM
pany of which until recently he was
general manager. The suit followed a

asked to resign.
He claims to have invented the ma
chine in June, 1909, and to have en-
tered the company last December max
ing contract to deliver to the COM
pany the patent rights for the inven-
ton when the patent had been grant
ed. He got a salary of 500 as man
ager and a royalty on the machine
Business did not meet expectations,
he says, due to the failure of the COM
pany to conduct the right sort of a
selling campaign. At the last meet
ing of the directors, the blame for the
failure of the concern to Sc. machines
was laid at his door. he says, and he
charges that the present intention of

quit the business.

vent the company from selling ma

also asks the court to relieve him
from further obligation under his con-
tract for the delivery of the patent

Boston. Dec l4-The officers of the

not in contempt in their alleged viola

court yesterday. The court, however,
criticixes both parties. When the strike
was settled. the firms claimed that the
officers OF the union were keeping men
from accepting positions and asked the
court to punish the officers for alleged
disobedience of the injunction settling
the strike
In his finding yesterday, Judge Pierce
held that the strike was declared off on
October "a, before the decree ordering
an injunction went into effect. He said;
1T would be waste of time to analyze
the testimony ON the contempt proceed.
ings, produced during the last three
weeks Much of it, on either side, was
not commendable. It was false in spirit
though perhaps true in fact. II was
diplomatic, but it was not intended for
the calculation of truth, but for victory.
1t might have deceived the court and in
consequence wrong might have been
done For a bill in equity to punish for
contempt to be granted in this case
would be giving the petitioners an unde.
