DEFENSE LEAGUE
WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD SUM-
DAY MORNING MEETINGS.
Denver Friends Of Tom Mooney to
Keep Alive the Agitation in His Be-
half Until Freedom Is Assured.

The Tom Mooney Defense League,
recently organized in Denver, which
arranged for the big protest parade
and mass meeting held Sunday, July
%, will continue to meet every Sum-
day morning at o'clock in Painters
Union hall, 1947h Arapahoe street
All unions in the city are invited to
have delegates present at these meet
ings, and it is then proposed to keep
alive the agitation against the convic-
ton of Mooney by a frame-up of evil
dence until he secures either a new
trial or pardon by the governor of
California.
The protest parade and mass meet
ing in Denver did much to aequaint
the citizens with the true facts of
this famous case. Over 4,500 trade
public demonstration against the
hanging of Mooney, and nearly that
number crowded into the Auditorium
at the mass meeting which followed
In California the Mooney case has
become more or less of football in
the game of state politics. There is
feeling, however, that Mayor Rolph
Of San Francisco will be the next gov
ernor of California. in which event
Mooney will undoubtedly receive just
consideration. Twice President Will
son has appealed to Governor Steph-
ems that Mooney be granted new
trial in order htat the generally ac-
cepted charge of his being unlawfully
convicted might be demonstrated, and
thus bring a stop to the many asser-
tions made in this and other countries
that justice cannot be obtained in the
courts of the United States when big
business wills otherwise.

erward served as governor of Massachu- setts and for several years, chiefly in the administration of Presidents Hayes and Arthur, he represented one of the Massa- chusetts districts in the lower house or Congress. While thus serving he was accustomed to speak occasionally to rep resentatives in Congress from St. Louis of the wonderful development of the shoe manufacturing in St Louis, whereby that city was taking equal rank with Boston.
 The United Shoe Machinery company was not organized until after the death of Governor Claflin. It's purpose was well set forth and vindicated by the re- cent decision of the supreme court. St. Louis shoe manufacturers. however, felt that this Boston corporation was with out justification in law and morals in insisting upon certan features of it's con- tracts with shoe manufacturers. These were commonly known as the lease in- ter-tieing clauses This is a feature or the shoe machinery companys organiza- ton which was untouched or only incl dentally referred to in the litigation be- fore the supreme court
 When the supreme court decision was handed down the common presumption was that it would result in material ap preciation Of the already high market price of the United Shoe Machinery company's stock. It did not appreciate, ana the reason was that Boston, well understanding the possible danger that was in the St. Louis shoe manufactur- CTS litigation, did not care to purchase shoe machinery stock until the courts had handed down the decision in the St. Louis case. That case has been argued and decision is now awaited. Many have surmised that the recent decision Of the supreme court in the United Shos Machinery case indicated change of view respecting other corporations legal

Opposition of the shipping board to the amendment because of the effect it might have on the output of ships may precipitate controversy in which possible intervention later by Presi- dent Wilson may be a deciding factor.

ELMER HOWE AS
 BUSINESS MAN
By HOLLAND

New York, June 23-(Speeial) )-Elmer Howe, who died at his home in Boston a few days ago, was one of the five men who promoted the organization of the United Shoe Machinery company. MT. Howe's vocation was not that of a busi- ness man pure and simple He was a member for many years of the leading law firm in Boston. which was exclu- sively occupied with matters which re- lated to patents The firm gained a na- tion-wide reputation as patent lawyers, lated largo fortune. This was made possible by reason of the fact that the firm was retained in some very impor- tant patent litigation and patent solici tation involving large amounts of money
 Presumably it was due to his exper- fence as patent lawyer and to his pro- fessional association with a group of men who purposed organizing a shoe machinery company. that he was nameo one of the five original promoters of . corporation which became one of the largest American industries and which has for some years been much in the public eye by reason of the attempt or the department of justice at Washington to secure, through the decision of the supreme court, the disruption of the or gapization on the ground that 1t had established monopoly in restraint of trade.
 MT. Howe, while not widely known to the public, was of high reputation among professional men and in certain business circles. At the beginning of his career after he was graduated from Yale he set an example worthy of imitation by young men who desire to get along in life. He was received as an apprentice workman in one of the large manufac-s turing plants at Worchester, Mass. In that capacity he mastered the details of the manufacture of important industrial commodities so that he was well forti- fled, as he in fact hoped to be, for under taking the profession of a patent law yer. After he finished what might be called Q kindergarten course, or an ap- in the Worchester industry

It takes something to make ragged peasant look like king, and the Georgians have it. Part of them are monntaineers-the most picturesque brig ands that ever carried an arsenal at their belts. The rest are agriculturists The Geoagian treats his wife and daugh- ters well. and Georgian women never act as servants. There is so much strength in the Georgian face that the women lose their greatest charm by the time they reach full maturity.

FOLLOWING WINSLOW

After several years of litigation in the federal courts the supreme court decided a few months ago that this corporation was not monopoly. The decision was not unanimous, and one of those who IS associated prominently with the corpor- ation said when he learned that the ma- jority opinion was secured by only one vote: 'Ws won, but by the skin of our teeth"
 President Winslow, who gained some what sensational reputation as a fighter as we'll as successful business organ izer, did not live long enough to know that the supreme court by majority of one vote had decided that the corpor- ation was not a monopoly in restraint of trade. Mr. Winslow died a few months before the decision was handed down. Now only few weeks after the corpora .ion has been sustained by the supreme court MT. Howe has passed away. He was heavy investor in United Shoe Machinery stock. and it is believed that a considerable part of the large fortune which he left is represent ed by snares in this corporation.
 STILL ON THE ANXIOUS SEAT
 Although the supreme court has decided by a narrow margin that the United Shoe Machinery corporation is not a monop- oly established in restraint of trade, nevertheiess the victory is not entirely ' satisfactory. There remains a decision upon the case brought by the shoe man ufacturers of St. Louis against the United Shoe Machinery company. and should tha. decision be in favor of the St. Louis people it may tend consider ably to impair the prestige and market control which now characterize the United Shoc Machinery company.
 It is an interesting historic fact that it was Boston capital and Boston ability which established the shoe manufacture ing industry of St. Louis many years ago. Now that industry is one of the leading industries of St. Louis and that city with Boston substantially controls the shoe manufacturing industry of the United States.
 William Claflin. who was in the early 4Vs a shoe manufacturer in little town out of Boston, furnished the capital and brought into association with himself another who was also of the Claflin name. with intent to establish a shoe manufacturing industry in St. Louis This was done because Mir. Claflin was persuaded that St. Louis was to become the most important commercial metrop- oils upon the Mississippi. commanding in the southwest. He looked confidently forward to the growth of St. Louis. Years afterward he was accustomed to speak with some proper pride of the growth cf the shoe manufacturing indus try in St. Louis. feeling that he could take some share in the prestige. He aft-
