LOSES
SHOE MACHINE CASE
Supreme Court Fails to Find
Violation of Sherman Anti
Trust Law.

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE government
today suffered It's first big defeat In
the recent antitrust campaign when
the supreme court held that h offi-
Gals OF the United Shoe Machinery
company had not violated the Sher-
man antitrust law by organizing that
company. The court, however. did not
pass upon the legality of the system
by which h company leases machines
on terms that no independent" ma
chinery be used. . ~ +
The action of the supreme court to-
day grew out OF the Massachusetts
federal courts annulling one of two
Indictments brought against the Shoe
Machinery company officials. The
Massachusetts court took h position
that the indictment did not state an
offense under the Sherman law The
government appealed to the supreme
court by virtue Of the criminal APP
peals act OF 1907, on the ground that 1t
did state an offense. "uI
The government, in the indictment,
alleged that Sidney w. Winslow, Ed
ward p. Hurd, George w! Brown. Will
liam Barbour and Elmer p. Howe vio-
lated the law, first. by organizing the
United Shoe Machinery corporation,
and second, by a system of leasing
their machines whereby patrons were
compelled to promise not to use any
machinery made by independents and
to use only that made by the alleged
combination. .ru
The charge was that the shoe ma
chinery corporation took yer the bus
mess OF the Consolidated and Mckay
Lasting Machine company, manufac-
turing so per cent of all lasting ma
chinery.
