DIAMOND MATCH co.
LOSES ITS PATENT
The Government Cancels the Right Civ
en- 1t to Use Sequi-
Sulphide.

Washington, Jan. 30. Following Presi-
dent Taft's Intervention in legislation
to prohibit the use OF poisonous phos-
phorous, and hearings before the House
committee on ways and means on the
Eseh bill, to prevent the use Of such
material in match manufacture, meas
ure which the Independent interests
charged against the so-called trust, the
Diamond Match company, the patent
Office Saturday cancelled the patent to
that company on sequi-sulphide. That
substance is considered a harmless sub
stitute for white phosphorus, which, it
is asserted, causes necrosis and other
diseases.
This action, taken at the instance
Of the so-called trust itself, for human
itarianp purposes, was in conformanee
with letter which President Taft adj
dressed last Thursday to Commissioner
Of Labor Neil. Professor Edward r.
Seligman of Columbia and Attorney
Ralston, for the American Federation Of
Labor, az trustees of the patent
In the letter the president says:
MY great anxiety to see American
labor protected from the ravages of a
wholly unnecessary and loathsome dis
ease to the same extent that foreign
countries, including Great Britain, have
protected their people in match factories,
prompts me 70 believe that everybody
would, of course, he glad to see the
owner OF the patent and its licenses take
the public spirited action Of canceling
the patent for the use OF seoul sulpbide,
in order that this harmless substitute
may be gratuitously used BY all other
American match manufacturers, for it
ought to have the effect of dispellifg
any fear that the enactment Of this leg
islation would result in a monopoly to

could obtain; second, the low ebb at
which iron and steel mills and the big
manufactures are operatingi third. en-

Strangely enough, the one really dan

scientific name. 1t is about the size of
a large pea, black with red spot on

around wood piles. SO far as is known.
its poison is the most virulent and

any living creature. Cobra virus, in
the minute quantity which the latro.
