Poorer Class in Tents.

Those cared for in the tent camps
are of the poorer class, mostly for
eigners. Nearly all the well to do have
found refuge with friends and relatives
elsewhere.
An insurance adjuster who went
over the devastated district carefully
estimated the loss at $12, 000, 900 of
which $4,000 900 was covered by in

Greatest Individual Loser.
The Naumkeg Steam Cotton COM
pany was the heaviest individual los.
er. The loss on it's great plant vas
placed at $500, 900.
Fifteen hundred employees were
thrown out of work by the destruc.
ton of these mills. The total number
added by the firm to the ranks of the
unemployed was estimated at 5000.
Hand in hand with the measures for
relief went preparations for rebuild
ing the city. The Naumkeg company
and some of the other large firms that
were burned out announced that they
would begin construction of new and
better plants as quickly as possible.
In the meantime the unemployed will
be given work in the rehabilitation of
the city or will be provided with jobs
in nearby places.
Militia Directs Relief.
The active work of relief has been
temporarily in the hands of the state
militia, directed by Adjutant General
Cole. who commanded $50 men from
the Eighth and Ninth regiments. The
strictest sanitary precautions are be.

responsible for the state of public opin.
ion. You furnish the public with in
formation and in your editorials you
furnish it with the Interpretation OF
that information. We are in the pres.
ence OF a business situation which is
variously interpreted. Here in Wash.
lngton, through the bureau of COM
merce and other instrumentalities that
are at our disposal, and through a cor
~respondence which comes to us from
all parts of the nation, we are perhaps
in a position to Judge of the actual
condition of business better than those
can Judge who are at any other sin

to say to you that as a matter of fact
the signs Of a very strong business
revival are becoming more and more
evident from day to day.
Feverish for Long Time.

Business has been in a feverish and
~apprehensive condition in this country
for more than ten years. Business
men have acted as some men do who
fear they will have to undergo an op.

when they get on the table the oper-
alton will not be a capital operation.
AS a matter of fact, as the diagnosis
has progressed, it has become more
and more evident that no capital OPP
Grafton was necessary; that at the
most a minor operation was necessary
to remove admitted distempers and
evils.
There is nothing more fatal to
business than to be kept guessing.
First, there was the tariff, and
business shivered. Then came the
currency reform.
Dread Of Trust Program.
Then we advanced to the trust pro-
gram and again the same dread, the
same hesitation. the same urgency
that the thing should be postponed. 1t
will not be postponed; and it will not
be postponed because We are the
friends of business.
Because, when the program is fin
ished it is finished; the interrogation
points are rubbed off the slate; bust
ness is given it's constitution of free
dom and is hidden go forward under
that constitution. And just so soon
it gets that leave and freedom there
will be a boom of business in this
country such as we have never Wit.

REPORT PATENT BILL
TO END MONOPOLY
Members of House Committee
Find Abuses Under Present
System.

Seeking the elimination of monopoly
under the patent laws, the House
Committee on Patents today reported
the Oldheld bill. the report saying that
the bill is designed to correct three
abuses under the present patent system,
namely:
First. delayed applications in the
Patent Office: second. the evils arising
from the vendors of patented articles
imposing on the purchasers restrictions
affecting the use OF the articles or the
price at which they must be resold to
the public; third, the evils arising from
owners of patents suppressing the same
or prohibiting their use In order to pre-
vent competition with other patented
or unpatented articles sold by them
selves
The bill provides that the life Of a
patent shall be nineteen years from the
date of the fling Of the application. It
also prohibits the patent owner from
invoking the infringement laws to bring
about restrictions in the use of any
article. The bill does not declare re-
strictions unlawful. but says a patented
article shall be on the same basis as
an unpatented article In the matter of
restrictions-that the contract and not
the patent laws shall be invoked-and
the report asserts that the measure is
designed to meet just such issues as
was raised in the Dick mimeograph
case. decided by the Supreme Court
Aims To Stop Non-Use.
To prevent the buying up and nom
use" of patents. the bill gives the courts
the right to force owners Of patented
articles to issue licenses to any appli-
cant after the expiration of three years
of non-use of such articles.
Concerning delays in issuing patents,
the report says:
"A new provision is that every patent
shall be limited to nineteen years from
the date Of filing the application, cx-
elusive of the time actually consumed
by the Patent Office or the courts in
considering 1t. This provision is aimed
at the procrastination that has become
proverbial on the part Of applicants for
patents. Under the existing law, appii
cants may fritter away years in COR
Sespondence and the effect of this Is
INactically to prolnog the duration Of
thu monopoly. In some instances pre-
limhary proceedings have been drawn
out sver course OF twelve or fifteen
years. Under the amendment now
delay will be eliminated the
applicant is allowed two years within
which 10 present the merit Of his claims
and sukely this Is enough"
- methods Of THE Shoe Machinery
Trust are cited by the committee as
the need OF legislation to pro-
hibit the protection of patent laws for
restrictive contracts. The report also
declares that the purchasing and Shelly
ing" of patents by monopolistic con-
Germs is another serious condition and
that the compulsory license will meet
this evil.

case and the O'Donnell case-the latter
