FRUITS OF THEIR LABORS

der, but federal Judge has just decided that what IS
yours belongs to everybody else
Thot of course, is the one focet Of Communism
which is pretty generally understood But this Judge
isn't Communist and his decision isn't Comnun-
stic, and our guess is that the Communists hovent
even heard about it yet So let's forget that bueoboo
and stick to the issue.
District Judoe Frank l. KIoeb Of the Northern
District of Ohio, Western Division found the Hart
ford-Empire Company and number of affiliated
glassware manufacturers guilty Of creating and mann
tanning q deliberate and vicious monopoly through
the control Of virtually every useful potent in the
industry
Naturally, then, the Judge attempted to break up
the monopoly and open up the glassware monufoct-
urine field to competition. which is the American
way.
One Of the measures which Judge Kloeb ordered
for this purpose is, in his own loneuoee
"AlI the defendants shall be required to license
anyone royalty free in the manufacture Of machines
embodyinq these patent rights" The patents
more specifically described earlier in the poro
graph as "o Of the patents and applications for
patents owned or controlled by all the defendants
herein and involved in this suit"
We hold no brief for Hortford-Empire. From
standpoint thot componys significance is merely that
Of guinea pig upon which court is trying expert
ment that to US seems very un.Amercon. Why2
For this reason. The Hortford.Empre Company
and it's associate defendants, by the evidence in the
cose have developed or bought patents which enable
the manufacture Of better glassware more cheopIy.
These have cost Them money! They spend money inn
proving their methods.
Now the court soys they must give freely to
anybody the valuable property rights they have
oqured at much cost. Any ambitious man or group
who hos invested single dollar in research
walk into HortfordEmpires office, under this court
order and soy, "Ginme, free for nothing"
Says the Bill Of Rights, Article VI: mo person
sholl be deprived Of property without due process Of
Iow"
Judge Kloeb anticipates, in his opinion, that the
Supreme Court will poss upon his hondwork It
should for the sake Of the American system Of free
enterprise

9ress officially thot 80 far the D. S has little more

How, them shoI we double our output

from on authoritative source, without apology or
covering UP or ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, would be welcome
