Representatives Of the shoe manufac-
turing industries, who were given a
hearing yesterday by the Senate Commit
tee on Finance, in opposition to free
boots and shoes, raised a furry by as
serting that the shoe manufacturers OF
the country are practically at the mercy
of the United Shoe Machinery Company
of Boston. The principal witness before
the committee was William 1. Oenich.
of st. Louis, who declared that under
the form of contracts the manufacturers
were compelled to sign with the United
Snoe Machinery Company they were
practically at the mercy Of a trust. He
declared that the English manufacturers
and other foreign manufacturers did not
labor under such disadvantages. because
they were not compelled to sign such
contracts. Senator Bailey, Of Texas.
suggested that II the situation described
by the witness really existed. 1t was
matter for the Attorney General OF the
United States to look into.
II think that II the hearings are trans
mitted to the office of the Attorney Cen
eral." said Senator Bailey, '.the United
shoe Machinery Company will have
trouble on its hands The Senator from
Texas denounced the contracts as Invalid,
and suggested that in some OF the states
the exaction of such contract would
be In violation Of the criminal laws.
The entire Committee on Finance was
aroused by the statements of the wit
ness. Senator Simmons asked the ST
Louis manufacturer why he did not pur-
chase machinery abroad, under the ad-
yantaeeous conditions enjoyed by the for
eign purchasers The witness replied tnat
a duty of 45 per cent on shoe machinery
made the purchase Of machines abroad
impossible to an American. Senator Sim

through carelessness and ignorance. The
individual artisan cannot be standard
lied.
German statistics show. that on Mon
day the product of labor is from 20 to
IS per cent less than on other days, and
the first working day of the week and
the last provide the majority of the ac-
cidents. Mislaps in the morning arc
credited to poor breakfasts or to lack
of sleep. As the day wears on, facul-
ties become brighter and the workman
is alert to danger, but late in the day
bodily and mental fatigue again pro-
notes indifference and carelessness.

Daylight and Accidents.

Thousands of safety devices for as
many different kinds of machines have
been invented. Trained scientists and
technologists are devoting their talents
to the question of determining the
causes of accidents and reducing the
heavy toll of human life which modern
industry is collecting. The most battling
element in the crusade against acci-
dents, however, is man himself.
The Journal of the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers has calculated
the influence of daylight on accidents.
From this inquiry the fact is made plain
that because the sun shines brightest
in the middle of the day the number
of accidents is reduced at that time 1t
IS shown further that the same factor
of light makes the proportion of acei-
dents in December greater than in any
other month"; tabulation covering zoo
shops showing July to have the, fewest

mons, of North Carolina, then inquired
whether the removal Of the duty Of As
per cent on shoe machinery would lower
the cost Of shoes to the users. and the
witness replied that 1t probably wouit
result in a reduction Of price, but he was
not prepared to estimate how much thS
price would be lowered.
Senator La Toilette added sopne inter-
est to the hearing by calling on the
manufacturers to supply the committee
with a detailed statement Of the cost of
production of each style OF shoes manu-
factured. Senator Smoot proposed IN ad-
oition that the manufacturers bring with
them samples of the shoes as object les
sons for the committee. This brought a
smile to the faces of the manufacturers,
who made some inquiry rs to the storage
facilities at the command OF the commit
tee. %
The chairman of the committee an
nounced that the hearings had been con-
cluded so far as the boot and shoe manu-
facturers are concerned, and that. the
committee would stand adjourned until
next Monday. when the farmers socte-
ties will be heard in opposition to Ca
madam reciprocity. =.
Senator Penrose expressed the opinion
that a vote would be reached in the
Senate on the Canadian reciprocity bill
not later than July /. Other Seniors
do not take such a hopeful view otthe
outlook, in view of the certainty tha the
Lorimer case will be before the Seiate,
and other questions, such as the POPULAR
election Of Senators, will be up for fon-
sideration. The large number OF new
Senators who will want to be heart on
these subjects will undoubtedly lenghen
the debate. More than thirty Senaors
have expressed a desire to debate the
tariff question, which, according to dall
conservative estimates, insures at lhst
a months continuous debate.
