IS IT MONOPOLY?
The Question About United
Shoe Machinery Co.
Presiding Justice So Declares
Al Dissolution Proceedings.
Not One Of Whether or Not Monop.
oily Is Oppressive.

Boston, Dec. 1s.-T4e question in
volved in the governments suit to dis
solve the United Shoe Machinery Co,
is simply one of monopoly and not
whether the alleged monopoly is OPP
pressive, according to Judge Putnam
who is presiding at the trial with
Judges Dodge and Brown.
The defence has endeavored to show
that the tying clauses In the contracts
of which the government complained
operated to the advantage of the shoe
manufacturer and that the system was
beneficial rather than oppressive as
the government commended.
where a party secured monopoly
he might operate it in a benevolent
manner today and tomorrow in an OPP
pressve maner," said Judge Putnam.
There is nothing in the law which
permits one person to compel another
to do what is to the other persons

Charles F. Choate, counsel for the
company, said it would rely on it's pa

eminent, he added. did not question the
right of the United Shoe Machinery
Co, to lease it's machines but it did
OBJECT to certain clauses in those
leases which made it impossible for
the manufacturer to secure an option.
The defence introduced testimony
from a shoe manufacturer Of Lynn,
named Martin Z. WEIGH, who said
that he was able to operate large
factory up to 1906 WITHOUT any of the
defendants machines except few
minor ones, and that he would be able
to operate it today without any of

tempt of politician to extort $780,
900 from Anthony c. Douglass, tun-
mel contractor, as compensation for
obtaining him a contract on the con-
struction of the Croton aqueduct, was
the subject of further investigation to-
day by the grand jury.
Charles Strauss, chairman of the
Board of Water Supply, which had
charge of the letting of the contracts,
was before the jury for more than two
hours and was asked to explain why
Douglass, who was the lowest bidder,
did not get the contract. Mr.. Strauss
testified that Douglass was not given
the contract because the board believ-
ed him not qualified to undertake the
work. Mr.. Strauss declared he had
never been approached by the politi-
clan in question regarding the con-
tract and District Attorney Whitman
is convinced that the integrity of the
Board of Water Supply in the matter
cannot be impugned.
