SHOE COMPANIES
SETTLE DISPUTES
Announce Termination of Litiga-
ton by Thomas G. Plant
Against United
MARKS END OF 2 YEARS. WAR
Suit Arises Over Replacing of the
Trust Machines in Inde-
pendent Factory
MARKS END OF 2 YEARS WAR
ASSOCIATED Press

BOSTON, Sept. 27.-Off1cial announce
ment of the settlement of the fight
against the United Shoe Machinery
company by Thomas G. Plant of Rox-
bury, president of the Thomas c.. Plant
Shoe company, which substituted the
machines of the United company last
spring by wonder worker machines,
has been madeN here by Louis A. Cool
idge, treasurer Cf the United company.
Mr.. Coolidge's announcement says:
1.-THE litigation between Thomas A.
Plant and the United Shoe Machinery
company has been settled. 1t is not at
all certain that any further statement
than this will be made, and at the mo-
ment it would appear as IL there would
be none."
The United company was practically
without a rival until two vars ago.
Plant, with factories in Lynn, Haver-
hill and Roxbury, declared war against
1t, claiming that contracts under which
1t was alleged a manufacturer was per-
mitted to use no machinery other than
that of the United company were IL
legal. Inventors were placed at work,
with the result that last spring the
Plant factories replaced the machines
OF the United company with those
which the expert mechanics had pro-
duced.
The United company three months
ltaer began suit for breach of contract
by the Plant company, In connection
with the preliminary skirmishes in the
courts the statement was made in pub
lie interviews and in newspaper adver-
tisements the fight was based on the
alleged illegality of the contracts and
would be carried to the United States
supreme court.
It was understood that the moral
support of practically every shoe man
ufacturer whose contracts with the
United company were said to call for
royalty of 2-3 cents on every pair of
Shoes was with Mr.. Plant and that
extended litigation was in prospect.
The stock quotations of United Shoe
dropped nearly 20 points following the
beginning of the suits.
Rumors of a. pending settlement be-
came current last week.

LEGAL TECHNlCALITIES
BLOCK ELOPERS WEDDING
Girl Fails to Have Brother Ap-
pointed Her Guardian

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 27.-Legal tech
nicalities conspired to prevent the
wedding of pretty Kitty Miles, aged Is
years, and H. Ray NJ, ore, a sailor on
the torpedo boat destroyer Perry. Miss
Miles eloped alone fr> m Los Angeles
Sunday, was caught here in company
with her sailor sweetheart by an irate
brother, who followed her and placed
her in care of the matron at the
county jail The girl later induced her
brother to apply for letters of guard
ianship, in order that he might legally
give his consent to the wedding.
Then came the rub. He was told
that he could not be granted the let
ters in this county because neither he
nor his sister had established legal
residence. The upshot of the affair Is
that Miss Miles and her brother re-
turned to their home in Los Angeles
yesterday afternoon and the sailor re-
turned to his ship. Both are deter
mined to wed, however, and 1t is prob
able that the marriage may take place
in Los Angeles.

In defense of collective bargaining and
declared that the refusal Of corpora

cause OF many strikes. He said in
part:
/ ask you to consider the question OF a
strike from the point OF view of the stock
holders and Of the laborers. The stock
holders when they form corporation act
upon the legal right to be represented by
officers OF their own choice In everything
that they do as stockholders. The labor
ers when they organize claim the same
right to be represented as sellers OF labor
by officials OF their own choice In collec-
tive bargaining for their labor. When the
stockholders through their elected officials
decline to confer with a labor union
through It's elected officials the stockhold-
ers put I'm the position OF virtually
saying to the iaborcrs. We insist upon
all the privileges of combination for OR
selves. but we claim the right to deal
thus they deny TO organized laborers the
benefits OF collective bargaining which
they demand for themselves.
II Is entirely clear that stockholders
when they do this through their elected
officials are acting within their legai
rights. but II Is equally clear that they
are acting very inconsistency. A certain
percentage OF strikes Is caused by pre-
cisely this attitude on the part Of corpo-
rations. This attitude Is so illogical that
do not believe II can be permanently
maintained. and I think that the disinter-
