SIR IAN HAMILTON
Relieved OF Command of British Forces
IN Dardanelies

London. Oct. 1S.-Maj. Gen.
Sir Ian Hamilton has been re-
heved of the command of the
British forces in the DardaneIles
and called home to make a re-
port to the war Office on the Gal
lipoh campaign. He is to be sue
ceeded by Major Gen. Charles
Carmichael Monro, an officer
who has seen wide service.
The Dardanenes operations
have not been as fruitful of re-
suits as the British war Office
and the people of England would
wish and of late there has been
much criticism because of the
failure of the land and sea forces
to make progress that seemed
material to the ultimate aim of
the expedition, which was to
reach Constantinople.
Pending Gen. Monro's arrival
at Gallipoli, Maj. Gen. William
Bddel Birdwood will Temperate
~ command the troops.
That all has not been going
well with the expeditionary
isrces sent to the GallipOli Pc
ninsula to open the way to Con-
stantinople has been indicated
not only by the official reports,
but by intimation in high quar-
ters in London. A few days ago
IN the British Parliament, Wis.,
count Miner suggested the with
drawal of the troops from CALI
poll and their transfer to some
other theatre of the war.

The Charges Filed

The Charges Filed
The Government charges:
That the United Shoe Machinery Co.
is monopoly controlling 9s1a per cent
OF the trade in shoe machinery in the
United States, its principal business be-
ing the making and leasing of these
machines.
That in certain instances, it has fixed
and is fixing the prices Of such machin-
cry on the condition and with the agree
ment that the lessee or purchaser shall
not use the machinery. supplies or other
commodities of its competitors.
THAT it grants rebates on prices
fixed in some instances in consideration
of the use by lessee Of others Of its
machines; that other leases contain
clauses whose effect is to establish
prices 10 per cent less to those who
agree not to use the machinery sup
piled by competitors than to those who
do not bind themselves
Unrestricted" Leases
The petition alleges further that some
machines are leased under what is
called an unrestricted" form of lease
which allows lessees in certain cases
to use other machines obtained from
competitors on payment Of initial pre-
miums" These premiums are in adj
dition to the usual royalties or charges.
THE amount of these initial premi-
ums." says the petition. ARE SO large
as practically to prohibit the choice of
the unrestricted form. Upon the ma
chinery in a factory having an output
Of from $4,000 to $4,000 pairs of shoes
daily the premiums would amount to
about $25e.000. This sum represents a
discount or rebate which the defend
ants grant the manufacturer II he II
willing to take his machinery from
them upon the Illegal condition or un-
derstanding that he win not use ma
chinery supplied by competitors OF the
defendants"
These clauses and others with the
same purpose and effect. according to
the petition, are being enforced by the
shoe company. which has written
leases with such clauses executed not
only before the passage of the Cay
ton act in October. 1914. but since that
time as well.
