A $2,oo0 900 SUIT AGAINST SHOE MACHINERY COMPANY. Bill of Complaint Alleges Stifiins oa
 Competition.

Boston, Oct. 16-A bill of complaint was filed in the federal court today in a suit for $2,000,0o0 against the United States Shoe Machinery com- pany and its officers on account of an alleged violation of the Sherman an ti-trust act. The suit is brought by Charles A. Strout of Portland, Maine, as trustee for the Goddu Sons Metal Fastening company. An attachment for two millions of dollars was placed plant in this sudt short time ago, following the indictment of the con- pany's officers by the Federal grand jury on charges of maintaining a mon- opoly in restraint of trade. Tho com plainant alleges that in violation of company forced it out of business and 1t therefore asks for damages.
 The Goddu Sons company was or ganized in 1897 under Maine--state laws to manufacture and sell shoe machinery under patents held by the chinery company was organised in 1899 and a short time later, 1t is al- legged, started negotiations with God- du Sons stockholders to purchase stock as a result of which the shoe machinery company finally secured a majority of the stock of the Goddu Sons company.
 The bill of complaint goes on to say that .'in accordance with a pre- conceived plan and purpose to sup press and eliminate competition and to support and project the monoply in the shoe machinery business which the United Shoe Machinery company had acquired. the defendants caused Sidney w. Wfnslow to be elected president, George ". Brown treas- urer, Edward F. Hurd and other shoe companies directors as directors cf the Goddu Sons company; that they continued to be reelected, not to de- velOp the business, but to prevent the firm from doing business"
 The complaint further alleges that the new officers who held the same po- sitionss in the United Shoe Machinery company, declined to make use of the patents and prevented the Goddu Sons company from carrying on bus mess so that the assets have remained idle, have been wasted and the patents are about to expire and prove worth- less.
