mere organization of the United Shoe
Machinery company by the heads Of
several non-competing groups of shoe
manufacturers had not been a viola
ton Of the law.

Despite the decision officials of the

the United States Shoe Machinery
company will be prosecuted for the
alleged violation of the Sherman law
under the one remaining count Of the

tanned by the lower court.
That count, which was not before
the supreme court, charged that the
company was monopolizing the indus
try by combination, by trying the
various shoe machines together, by
the destruction of competition and by
the acquisition Of competitors bust
ness. Officials vigorously maintained
that the decision did not affect the
government's case on this count.

Mr.. Williams is anxious that the United

be given over TO such indolent and treach-
erous people, people who have respect
for no government under the sun, their
own or any other.
After few years of American domin-
ion Mexico would blossom like the rose.
In Mexico, every crop can be raised and
stock is able to take care of itself And
gold and silver lies imbedded in the heart
of every hill. Uncle Sam should restore
peace, and make it possible for Mexico to
