Said to Have Begun Attack.

In 1911 Mr.. Brandeis became counsel
for the Shoe Manufacturers Alliance,
in which Jones and some large western
manufacturers were interested. Wins

chimes from the United Company on
new terms and Mr.. Brandeis began his
attacks on the company.
The United States brought criminal
proceedings against some u,re>.u.. u
the company and in December. 1911,
filed bill in equity for dissolution of
the company" said Winslow. "In that
proceeding one witness was personally
urged by Mr.. Brandeis to come from
the west to testify against us. There
Is other evidence that Mr.. BrandsfS as
sisted in this prosecution.
"Mr. Brandeis disposed of his per-
sonal stock holdings in the United
Shoe Machinery Company in July, 1911.
just prior to the bringing of these pro,
ceedings. Owing to his knowledge of
our business there is no doubt that he
was a desirable counsel for the shoe

Navy Department Attitude
Toward Submarine Building
Is Disclosed at the Hearing

Representative Britten Of Illinois, a
republican member of the House naval
affairs committee, at its hearing on
preparedness yesterday afternoon,
asked Capt. Josiah s. Mexican of the
navy. several questions which threw
considerable light upon the depart
ments attitude toward the submarine
situation. The officer said that the
larger submarines are looked upon as
more effective than the old-time small
under water craft. Representative Britten
then asked why the department had
let contracts for sixteen small craft
few weeks ago in view of that new
view Of things.
"Characteristics of ships are matters
determined by the general board"
Capt. Mexican replied. He said he be-
lieved it had been thought best to get
as many submarines as possible con-
structed quickly. and that Congress
had fixed the limit Of cost for the six
teen boats. thereby limiting their size.
Of 400 miles or less the small boat was
fully as efficient II not more SO than
an 800-ton craft. They were impera-
tive for shallow water work. he added.
Inquiries Regarding Emergencies.
Representative Britten asked what
had been done by the Navy Department
to be ready to meet the emergency
conditions which seemed to exist.
I'VE have made more real progress in
real readiness" Capt. Mexican said, sin
the last two years than in any previous
five-year period in my experience in
the navy. don't think | have ever
known a time when everybody in the
service from top to bottom. was work.
ing as hard with their heads and hands
to prepare the fleet for active service"
At another point Representative Brit
ten asked why the department had not
now under construction. Capt Mexican
said this was matter for the con-
tractors and the department had little
power. II the contractors were penal
lied, he said. Congress always revoked
the sentence.
II think your files will show. Mr. Brit
ten." he said. that no penalty has ever
been imposed upon a contractor but
that it was rebated sooner or later by
an act of Congress. They may have
to wait fifteen years. but they get it
back" IA
