SHOE MACHINERY SUIT
DECIDED IN FAVOR OF U. S.
Supreme Court Afirms Ruling for
Injunction in Patent
Disputes.

The government today won the
Supreme Court case brought by the
United Shoe Machinery Corporation

straining order prohibiting them from

the corporation from compelling, by
lease agreements, the exclusive use
of it's machines, and from enforcing
an alternative royalty clause, found
to be prohibitive, upon all footwear
manufactured in factories where
machines of competitors were also
used. 1t also held invalid the agree
ment by which the corporation re-
quired those using it's machines to
purchase supplies Of 1t.

The bureau of engraving and

S1,80D MUST
 BE FOUND TO
 PAY WATCHMEN
Board of Apportion- ment, Broke, Wonder ing Where It Will Get the Money.

| The Board, of Apportionment will attempt tomorrow to unite a Gordian knot. The board will also attempt to solve several Chinese puzzles which will be presented to it.
 Time and time again the board has publicly announced that it has not unappropr1ated revenues and that the funds in it's contingent fund are about exhausted, but tomorrow it must find $1,800 and then some way to pay voting machine watchmen who have already performed their work, btu who have not yet received their pay.
 According to figures at the City Auditors office 30 watchmen were employed by the voting machine com three days before election. The pay was SC per day. Six times 30 equals s1,SOO. and then some which the ap portionment board must find some- where.
 The 30 watchmen have kept a con- stant vigil over the City Auditors or fee, seeking their pay for the services they rendered. They watched other in and receive their pay and could not understand why they did not re- ceive theirs. However, they have been promised that their cheeks would be ready Thursday But that depends upon whether the apportionment board will find the money or not. Another raid will be made on the contingent fund it is expected.
 Another ghost that will walk to- morrow will be the request of the Board of SeIactmen for extra clerk hire the money amounting to some $1,Oo0. The board has repeatedly turned down the request of the se1ec,- men but they went ahead on advice of City Attorney Cornell and hired the clerks without having the money.
 Commissioner Edward Spargo of the subcommittee on selectmen. de- clared at a previous meeting of the board that he would resign if the board granted the request of the se lectmen. He declared that other clerks in other city department could be used to do the extra work. The seIectmen however, are going to attempt a raid on the contingent fund and get the s1 .OoO to pay the extra clerks with. Commissioner Edward Spargo will oppose the move 1t was said today.

None Higher

THE very latest innovation in sports
 l and street frocles is to place ones monogram in some conspicuous place such as on the sleeve or side-front of the waist, and carry it out in a contrasting color with silk thread. The Winter mode fol- lows cut the general line laid down for 1t some time ago by the couturier. The waist-line valiant1y resists all efforts to be dislodged from it's present low position. The use of the bandanna is another one
 # the seasons novelties. It has already been utilized for collars, sirdles and even cuffs in some instances. Jenny defines the waist-line of some of her new models with handkerchief or bandanna girdle knotted at one side. The new dress fab- rics are brocaded Canton crepe, crocodile crepe, challaine, tublaine, broadtail cloth. satin-faced silk duvetyn, Jacquard duve- tyn and brocaded or stencilled satin.
