Artificial Leather.

The manufacture of artificial leath-
er is an industry which has made gil
gantic strides in the last few years,
owing to the degree of perfection
which has been attained in the max
ing of this substitute for leather and
to the custom of splitting leather
which is not generally satisfactory, ex-
cept as far as its appearance is con-
cerned when it is new. That is to
say, that it is readily recognized as
real leather but when the split leath-
er comes to withstanding the test OF
service it is not there. The artificial
leather has established reputation
for service in the manufacture of au-
tomobiles, where it is in strong de-
mand for upholstery and top covers.

Bergson thinks society rests on anger

Big DRUG FIRMS LOSE
IN IS YEAR OLD SUIT
Schieffclin's and Other Firms
May Be Required to Pay
100000 Damages.

A decree was handed down In the
United States District Court yesterday
In favor Of the plaintiffs In the eighteen
year-old suit begun by John D.. Park 4
Sons Company, retail druggists. against
William Jay Schiefrelln. chairman Of the
Citizens Union and n member OF the
wholesale drug firm OF Schleffelln q
Co. Charles G. Bruen and other menu
bers OF Bruen. Ritchey 4 Co. Isaac S.
Coffin and a number OF other firms and
individuals.
The suit was brought in $50. TO re-
cover for financial injuries said TO have
been sustained by the plaintiff company
in the war waged by the firms to con
troll the drug jobbing trade and thus
keep up prices. The defendants. during
the latter stages OF the litigation. did
not contest the action. and the decision
went TO the plaintiffs by default yester-
day.
According TO Alton u. Parker, who
with the law firm OF Matthews 4 Mat
thews OF Cincinnati represented the
plaintiffs. the only remaining step is to
estimate the actual damages sustained
by John ID. Park a sons company in
holding out against the alleged monop-
olistic practices OF the drug firms. The
attorneys figure that the amount fixed
will probably reach $500. 900.
