on CHARGE Of MONOPOLY
Shoe Machinery Trust Indicted by
Federal Grand Jury.

Boston, Sept. 20.-An indictment has
been returned against the officers of
the United Shoe Machinery company
and second indictment was found
against the company itself by the
United States grand jury. The de-
PENDANTS are charged with conducting
business in restraint Of trade.
The individuals indicted are Presi-
dent Sidney w. Winslow, Edward p.
Hurd, George w. Brown, James ].
Storrow, William Barbour and Elmer
P. Howe, directors.
Both indictments charge the de-
PENDANTS with working through the
instrumentality of the United Shoe
Machinery company in way to make
them as individuals criminally liable
under the Sherman act.
The indictments recite the story of
the oppressive uniform lease pro-
visions, requiring shoe manufacturers
to patronize the United company ex-
clusively upon pain of having all their
leases cancelled and all the United
machinery removed from their fac
tories.
It is further charged that this pro-
cess drove other shoe machinery man
ufacturers out of business and ef-
fectually put all shoe manufacturers
at the mercy of the United company.
One indictment making no mention
of patents, charges that this whole
transaction was monopolizing of the
trade in shoe machinery and con-
spiracy to monopolize the same.

PRESIDENT DEFENDS
TRUST DECISIONS
Praises Action in Standard Oil
and Tobacco Gases.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 19.-President
Taft, at luncheon with the board of
commerce here, made the first of what
may be termed the political speeches
Of his six weeks tour of the country.
He talked of the TRUSTS" and clearly
outlined his views concerning them.
He defended with vigor the de-
cisions of the United States supreme
court in the Standard Oil and tobacco
trust cases and there was a distinct
campaign note in Mr.. Taft's challenge
to his ancient political enemy, Will
lam Jennings Bryan, to point out what
particular contract or restraint of
trade he would condemn which would
not be condemned within the defini-
ton of the statute as laid down by
Chief Justice White.
Mr.. Taft added, rather significantly,
that persons who do not understand
the decisions and really do not under
stand the law have had a great deal
to say about them. 1t was not fair TO
the court, he declared, to say that it
had read the word reasonable" in the
antitrust statute.
Il am entirely opposed to an
amendment of the antitrust law"
said the president. 1T is now valu-
able government asset and instrument.
Tested and brought into beneficial use
by twenty years of litigation and con.
struction by the highest court why
should we imperil its usefulness by
experiments?

Washington, Sept. 20.-Many intri.
