OPPOSES PATENT TREATY.
Chemists Association officials At
tack Pact With Germanx.


Henry Howard OF Cleveland, chair
man of the executive committee Of
the Manufacturing Chemists Asso-
citation. in letter to Undersecretary
Of State Fletcher. has declared that
a revival at this time OF tho pat
ent convention treaty with Germany
would be a calamity for the United
States
MI. Howard in his letter, which was
made public here, said that 1t vas
common knowledge the treaty in
question originally had been "con.
ceived and engineered by certain
chemical interests of Germany be-
cause Of their fear that the United
States would pass q law providing
for some kind of working clause in
its patent system"
The German interests realized" he
said. that IL they were obliged to
work their patents in the Uniten
States it would be the beginning of
the end Of their monopoly

FURTHER |. c. C. HEARINGS
Automatic Train Control Device to
Get Closer Study.

Further hearings on installation OF
an automatic train control on rafl-
roads Of the nation will be held April
-, when representatives Of train
control devices will testify.
The scheduled hearings on train
control devices concluded last Friday
with the taking of testimony from
railroad officials as to the results OF
trials Of automatic train control de-
vices, and the Interstate Commerce
Commission assigned April IL as the
date on which representatives Of con-
troll devices will be heard.
Under the provisions of the trans
portation act regarding train control
and it's installation on railroads. the
commission has until next July to
issue an order requiring railroads
to install some sort of automatic con-
troll. In the meantime 1t is regarded
as probable that modification will
be made in the terms of the proposed
order, which would require forty
nine major railroads to install a
train-control device on the largest
portion of their lines. The proba-
bility is, railroad men say, that the
roads will be required to install an
automat tic train control device only on
certain portions of their lines.
