SHOE TRADE IN
GRIP Of TRUST
Manufacturers From the Middle
West Tell Story to Senate
Finance Committee.

WASHINGTON, May 3-The dec
laration that a trust grips the en-
tire shoe manufacturing industry Of
the United States was made today he.
fore the senate committee on finance,
which began hearings on the Canadian
reciprocity bill.
Manufacturers from the middle west
told the committee they were practi
cally at the mercy Of the United Shoe
Machinery company of Boston.
1t was suggested that a report of
the hearings be submitted to the at
torney general
The principal spokesman for the shoe
manufacturers was William 'Oenche
of ST. Louis. With him were manu-.
facturers from ST. Louis, Chicago and
Grand Rapids, Mich. An incidental
reference to a failure TO reduce the duty
on brass wire used in the manufacture
OF shoes led Mr.. 'Oenche to say that
the "'trust' made il impossible to buy
brass wire abroad
why don't you buy all your ma
chiDery abroad, theng' asked Senator
Simmons Of North Carolina,
In reply the shoe manufacturer re-
ferrred tG the i5 per cent duty which
stood in the We.
In reply to Senator Smoot, the wit
ness said the royalty charged by the
year would be sufficient to buy the
English machinery outright The SEN
ator contended that under these cir
cumstances the duty should not pre-
vent the American manufacturer buying
European machines.
Mr.. 'Oenche declared. however, that
the shoe manufacturers could not get
all Of their machinery in England, and
TO get part Of it from the American
concern they were required to buy all
Milton S. Floresheim of Chicago told
the committee that the American man
ufacturers had been obliged TO sign
seventeenyear contract, and that no
shoe machinery manufacturing company
would enter the field because it could
not find purchasers.
Mr., Floreshelm confessed that if
sometimes "became necessary for
shoe manufacturer in protecting him
self, his trade name and his customers.
to refuse TO sell to retailer who tried
to undersell his neighbor. This. he said,
accounted for the uniformity of prices,
when Senator Clark of Wyoming and
Williams questioned him along that
line. The committee adjourned until
Monday.

their action could be construed as an
effort to restrain trade, and he said
the attorney general might make some
trouble for the trust after he had
learned of the statements in the hear
ings.
Representative Diffenderfer of
Pennsylvania introduced resolutions
calling upon the secretary Of the navy
and the secretary of war to furnish
congress with information relating to
shoe contracts for the army and navy
prior to 1909. Similar resolutions in
troduced last week by Representative
Gardiner were confined to contracts in
1909, 1910 and 1911,
The Gardiner resolution regarding
navy shoe contracts was adopted by
the house yesterday.
The inquiries were based on charges
made by Mr.. Dlffenderfer that one
shoe manufacturing concern has mo-
nopoly on government contracts, and

ALsATIAN PEOPLE DISSATISFIED
A Population That Has Been without
Country For Forty Years.

The blue Alsatian mountains have oil
late DAYS held large measure OF dis
content i'm their shadow, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. For 40 years the IN
habitants of the conquered province
have been a population of men with
out n country. Detached from France,
they held no statehood with the other
components Of the German empire.
They have stood the ordeal fairly well
until within a year. when the desire
for autonomy and equal rights with
the other German states took the point
of a direct appeal. A year or more
ago a systematic agitation for con-
stitution was begun, and a few weeks
since the constitution was announced
as forthcoming.
1t does not go into effect until this
coming summer, but its provisions
were made known in advance-and
they promptly and emphatically dis
satisfied the waiting Alsatians. DEM
onstrations were made in Metz in
Strasburg. in other cities of the prov
ince by a people who proved them
selves outspoken in criticism as they
were i'm appeal. Very evidently the
kaiser and his advisers were not SUI
ficiently assured of the loyalty of their
new subjects and a stone of a consti-
tuition was handed where bread was
asked. And that Alsatian loyalty has
not been intensified these demonstra-
tions well showed. English commen-
tators on world affairs held the opin-
ion that if Germany had been frank
and generous with the new population,
their loyalty would have been sponta =
neous and lasting. The mistake was
in this grudginG and suspicious half
granting of a flattering wish for polit-
ical standing. The Germans seem to
feel that they were not half grudging
enough. No doubt the demonstrations
in Metz convinced the Germans that
their suspicious were well founded.

ernor Wilson and the other candidates
mentioned, his friends say, is that he
proceeds with an utter disregard as tc
consequences for himself. He Is lay
ing no lines, reaching out for no dele
cations and playing no presidential
politics. Nor will he, they say, do any
of these things.
Those who are close to him say that
his heart Is not set on being president
and he will make no effort to get votes
for himself in the convention. If, when
the time comes, he Is regarded as the
strongest man and is nominated, he
will make the fight to the best OF his
ability, and the people Of New Jersey
know what that means. Just now he
Is busy being governor Of New Jersey
and Is not conducting a campaign for
the presidential nomination. 1t may
be that this Is one reason why he looms
so big as a presidential possibility.
Republicans Booming Bryan.
An interesting feature Of the situa-
tion here just now Is the manner in
which certain prominent Republicans
are booming Mr.. Bryan as the Demo-
cratic nominee. Most Of the Bryan talk
in this direction during his visit here
last week came from Republican
sources, and more than one Republican
senator expressed this belief that polit-
ical progress in the last four years
had been such and the issues now be-
fore the people are Of character to
demand Bryan's nomination again by
the Democrats.
This talk has not unsettled things
much, but 1t has given rise to the sug-
gestion that Bryan would again be q
candidate II that were the only way, ir
his judgment, to prevent the renomi-
nation Of a man considered by him a
"reactionary," backed by the Wall
street interests" Under no other cir
cumstances. his friends say, will he
again make the fight.
While the situation with reference tc
presidential candidates Is extremely
interesting, so many things may hap
pen in fourteen months that It does
not do to take it too seriously at this
time.
