ANOTHER IaJJI.
Government After Sic
Machinery Corporation.
SUIT TO Be FILED IN B0STC'l
Criminal Action Under Sherman Anti
trust Law to Be Instituted at Once.
Alleged Methods Show How
Companies Were Frozen Out.

Boston, July 27.-The United Shoe
Machinery company, the so called shoe
machinery trust, is the next big indus
trial corporation that the government
will tackle as a conspiracy in restraint
Of trade. 1t is learned that the depart
ment of justice will begin proceedings
before the federal grand jury here
within few days with a view to
bringing criminal action under the
Sherman antitrust law.
The investigators Of the department
have been working upon the case since
early this spring and have, it is said.
turned up mass of evidence showing
the alleged methods Of the trust in
driving competitors from the field and
in controlling the shoe manufacturing
business through system of leasing
machines on a royalty basis to shoe
manufacturers instead of selling them
outright.
The government investigators. it is
understood, will lay before the grand
tury instances where the United com.
pany, after first making an offer 70
buy out competitor at price far be-
low the actual value of his plant equip.
ment, have forced shoe manufactur-
ers who used this competitors m9
chimes to defend themselves agains,
suits for infringements on the patents
Of the United company, though there
was scarcely any chance, it is con.
tended, of the United company's w!
ming in these actions.
The government has information
that when the United company finalll
got their competitors machines they
smashed them to pieces with sledle
hammers to get them off the market.
