PRESSED"

william L. Curtis, in the Chicago Record-
Herald. August o. 1911.
This extraordinary development In tho
boot and shoe Industry in Massachusetts
and elsewhere does not indicate very much
restraint In trade although both the
federal government and the Massachusetts,
state authorities have recently become ex-
tremely anxious on that account and are
now attacking the United Shoe Machinery
Company OH the ground that 1t is a mo-
nopoly.
This fact was known long ago by every
body except the officials who are now suf-
fering such acute anxiety for the public
welfare on that account, and they have
had the same opportunity for abating the
nuisance for the last twenty years. Per-
haps the approach Of a presidential cleo
tion may account for the sudden discovery
by Attorney-Oeneral Wickersham that the
companr is "a very oppressive monopoly"
IL Is q noteworthy coincidence that a Con-
grcssiOnal committee was getting ready TO
increase the prestige and establish the
credit OF the Democratic party by making
the same discovery when Mr.. Wickersham
broke out
II Is also a noteworthy coincidence that
the sinful behavior Of the United Shoe
Machinery Company was not realized by
bONtIuDI ross OF MdsbdCIubellS unlll He
became ii candidate for reelection and en-
gagged a stall IN the Democratic stable OF
dark horses for the presidential race.
While the iniquity of the great octo-
pus has been going on uninterrupted by
presidential candidates, the factories OF
Brockton have doubled: twice as much
machinery has been Installed. extraordinary
Improvements In economy and efficiency
have been made; twice as many boots
and shoes have been sent TO market and
sold at lower prices than ever before:
twice as much money has been paid out
for wages. and the population Of Brock
ton and other shoe towns has increased
from 40 10 100 per cent. These facts are
shown by the report OF the census bureau,
but are not advertised by the politicians.
The population Of Brockton. for eI-
ample. was l,555 in 1880; Il was q. go In
1880; 1t was 30.579 In 1900. and 1888 In 1910.

WHO WILL GET THE BENEFIT?
The Trenton CN. J1 Times, October. 1911.

The Trenton (N. j. Times, October. 1911.
The principal complaint against the Shoe
Machinery Company, whose officers have
been indicted by a United States grand
jury In Massachusetts, for maintaining a
monopoly In restraint OF trade, seems to
be that 1t collects a royalty Of from to
3 cents per pair on all shoes manufactured
With its machinery. It's machines are
leased. not sold. Suppose this royalty can
be abolished, does anyone believe the con-
sumner will get the benefit? Or the retail
dealer? VIII not the two or three cents
go to the manufacturers, who are already
making great fortunes? Another point i'm
favor Of the monopoly is its statement that
it leases its machinery 90 all upon the same
terms. and that the man with a small
shop pays no more than the company that
employs several thousand workmen.

Machinery Company has been benefactor.
There has been a loud howl from Few
manufacturers. but / venture to assert that
nine-tenths of the shoe manufacturers OF
the country are strong adherents OF United
Shoe and it's policies and would deplore
any action by the government which would
break up it's splendid organization.
"The present situation Is simply the
price OF success. BY fair treatment or its
customers, absolutely perfect system, by
hiring the best inventive brains IN the
world. by not refusing to scrap any ma
chine which was the least bit out OF date,
the company has become part OF the sus,
tanning force IN the shoe business to-day.

For example. that pre-eminence
which has been attained I'm the production
of footwear in this country is attributable
I'm no small degree to the fact that the
manufacturers. whether large or small,
were left free to devote their undivided en-
ergies and efforts In that direction, not
being diverted as formerly by the neces-
sity Of trying to harmonize conflicting ma
chinery, often poorly adapted to do the
work desired. In other words, the manu-
facture of shoes Is one thing aud entirely
distinct from the dcvising and regulating
or shoe machinery. 1t Is no more 10 be

New-York tribune., 1911-11-29

The establishment OF the United Shoe
Machinery Company was the work of sa-
gaCious, experienced and farsighted men,
Against them the only true indictment
would be that they were the first to see
the great necessity for radical changes in
making and selling shoe machinery and
tho vast possibilities contained tlIsrein. And
all steps taken by the founders OF the
United Shoe Machinery Company have been
based on liberal and fair and square treat
ment OF customers.
So far as a monopoly OF patents is con-
cerned, the strength OF the United Shoe
Machinery Company lies rather I'm it's Won
rious branches throughout the country
whereby customers may obtain needed
parts or repairs by expert workmen with
as little delay as possible. Then again, the
corporation has been tireless In improving
its product, AT its wonderfully equipped
plant In Beverly, Mass.
