SHOE MACHINERY
CONCERN NOT TRUST

Government Loses in Its Effort to Have
Company Declared Monopoly in Re-
.straint of Trade-Decision Affects
Prices Paid by Purchasers at Retail
Washington, May 20.--The United
States Shoe Machinery Company today
won its case in the supreme court in
the governments antitrust section.
The court not only approved of the
legal organization of the company but
also Of the much contested tying
leases.
The future of the American shoe in
dustry, and, incidentally, prices to the
public Were involved in the federal
governments antitrust suit. Also in
volved were property an drights Of the
defendants estimated at more than
$40. 100000 and their long established
relations with more than 1000 shoe
manufa cturers who make more than
275. .000,O 900 pairs annually.
The suit was entirely apart from an
other prosecution brought at st. Louis
by the government under the Clayton
anti-trust act. This specially airned
to break up the tying lease system
OF the so-called Shoe Machinery Trust
The courts decision In the present
case, it was said, would materially af-
feet but not determine the Clayton act
litigation.
The proceeding under the Sherman
law, followed federal criminal prosecu-
tion Few years ago of President Sid
ney w. WinSlow and other officers of
the United Shoe Machinery Company
who participated in forming the alleged
trust That was dismissed by the SUI
preme court. which held them guiltless
under the criminal proviions Of the
Sherman act. The court held their acts
Of combination were simply efforts for
greater efficiency" in the shoe manu-
featuring industry.
The government, in the Sherman law
civil proceeding. asked, first, dissolu-
tion Of the alleged combination, and
second. injunctions against cont uing
the tying leases" under which the
company leases machinery to shoe
manufacturers.
A decision. in both particulars In
favor of the government entailed:
Disintegration, by stock redstribu-
ton. Of the present United companies
so that none will control an yportion
Of the she machinery manufacture
A bolishment of the tying leases" or
certain ones specially denounced by the
government as presenting shoe manu-
facturers from using machinery OF
competitors of the United companies
A decision against the government
i,~.,
United organization and the tying
leases" Abolition Of the latter. the
defendants contended would greatly
disturb present manufacturing condi-
tions, cancel many manufac cturers. ma
chine leases entail new leases, prob
ably at higher rates, or outright sale OF
United machines at much higher cost
to manufacturers.
