SHARP ATTACK
ON PATENT LAW
|NDULGED IN
Recent Assaults on the Pat
ent System and What they
Mean to Manufacturers
Were Subjects Discussed
at National Convention.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Detroit, Mich, May 21.-Discussions
of Recent Assaults on the Patent
facturers; Problems Of Industrial
Education" and European Laws and
the American Manufacturer" were
among topics discussed at today's ses-
sion of the National Convention of
Manufacturers. This was the last bust
ness day of the convention and it was
expected that new officers would be
elected
A vigorous attack against the Old
field bill was made by Gilbert H.
Montague, of New York, in his re-
marks on the patent situation. "The
Oldfeld bill proposes" he said, that
If any applicant shall establish in a
federal district court that a patent
owner. who has purchased a patented
invention from the original inventor,
is Withholding IT with the result of
preventing any other person from
three years after the patent is issued,
the court shall order the patent owner
to grant to the applicant a license to
use the invention upon such terms Of
royalty as the court deems just
THE burden of litigation which this
proposal involves would give large
corporations the greatest advantage
over ordinary patent owners. The eX-
cuse offered for this universal pro-
scription of patents is that patents
are sometimes suppressed.
For twenty-seven days the house
on patents took testimony
upon the O1dfeld bill and not single
case of suppression was cited. Al
most unanimously the witness en-
phatica1ly opposed the bill with con-
elusive proofs that its proposals were
unwiSe.
IF the small, independent manufac-
turer could be compelled to license his
big competitors to manufacture all the
second and third best inventions that
he has acquired, his big competitors,
with their superior advantages of cap
Ital and selling organization. could
soon crowd the small manufacturer off
the market.

butchered by abount one hundred
amen dments. The senate convict com

Senator Lindsay, chairman of the

the rate between Jacksonville and
Tampa was thirty-three and one third
per cent less than the rate from Jack
sonville to his home towr, Ocala, which
is half way between the two cities.
He said the operation of the long and
short haul provision means the saving
OF hundreds of thousands annually to
business men in his town, and a like
saving elsewhere.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, May 21.-President Will
son today sent for Representative Sis
son of Mississippi and urged him not
to make any speech that would offend
the sensibilities of Japan.
Mr.. Sisson, who recently made a
war speech" had given notice of his
irtention to speak in the house Fri
day on the lega1 phases of the japanese
alien land question. He had a twenty
minute conference with the president
during which, however, ne assured Mr..
Wilson that he would not discuss the
pending negotiations or touch on any
thing of an incendiary chara cter, linn
iting himself to an argument on alien
land ownership
That was the White House version
of the conference, though Mr.. Sission
himself declined to make any comment.
declaring merely that he would speak
Friday.
The president is known to be anxious
about discussion in congress at this
stage of the Japanese question, es
Tecially involving any observations on
racial discrimination.
1t is indicated at the White House
that the American note, just sent, and
the tenor of future exchanges, will
be to assure Japan that the majority
of Americans have a genuine respect
and admira ton for the achievements
and character of the people. Public
expressions that might give an oppo-
site impression are regarded at the
White House. particularly at this time,
as seriously embarrassing the negotia-
tions between the state department
and the Japanese amba ssador.

Of the Iowa old soldiers was recorded
today, when John Heater, aged r. a
veteran from Coon Rapids, was found
dead in his room as the result Of as
phyxiation, and his friend, AL Pear
son, aged 10, also an old soldier, was
found In dying condition. The men

last night.
The two old soldiers came to Des

uous meeting with old friends and
comrades, retired about $3.50 last
night at a rooming house to which
they were assigned. 1t is supposed
that in turning off the electric lights
they accidentally turned on the gas,
as the house is fitted with combina-
ton fixtures.
Climax Is Reached
This afternoon saw the climax in
the encampment and home coming of
Iowa veterans of the civil war, when
fully five thousand old soldiers parad-
