NDICTMENT IS ANNULLED Officers of the United Shoe Machin- ery Company Heid Not to Have Vio- lated the Sherman Anti-Trust Law, as Alleged. Washington, Feb. 4.—The govern- ment suffered its first big defeat in the recent anti-trust campaign when \the supreme court held that the offi- {cials of the United Shee Machinery violated the Sher- by organizing that however, did jcompany had not {man anti-trust law | company. The court, | not pass on the legality of the system { by which the company leases machines [on terms that no “independent” ma- 'chinery be used. The action of the supreme court {grew out of the Massachusetts’ indtfct- (menis brought against the Shoe Ma- chinery company officials. The Massa- jchusetts court took the position that |the indictment did not state the of- fense under the Sherman law. The |government appealed to the supreme | court by virtue of the criminal ap- |peals act of 1907, on the ground that lit did state an offense. The government in the indictment jalleged that Sidney W. Winslow, hx | ward P. Hurd, George W. Brown, Will- ‘iam Barbour and Kimer P. Howe vio- llated the law, first by organizing th. | United Shoe Machinery corporation jand, second, by a system of leasin: their machines, whereby patrons wer jcompelled to promise not to use any machinery made by independents and ‘to use only that made by the alleged combine. Combination Is Charged. The charge was that the shoe ma chinery corporation took over the buai- }ness of the Consolidated and McKay Lasting Machine company, manufac- (turing 60 per cent of all lasting ma- |chines; the McKay Shoe Machinery company, manufacturing 70 per cent of all heeling machines and 80 per cent of all metallic fastening machines, jand of the Goodyear Shoe Machinery |company, manufacturing 80 per cent ;of all the welt sewing and outsole stitching machines. The government claimed this put j about 80 per cent of the business of [manufacturing shoe machinery into ‘ome concern and that that being an ‘undue proportion” of the trade was a violation of the law. Justice Holmes, announcing the j unanimous decision of the court, said (that the lower court regarded the in- dictment as merely referring to the rganization of the company, not to the “tying clause” leases. That being | the case, he added, the supreme court ‘must accept that interpretation with: out question. | He said this reduced the case to a ‘narrow compass, and pointed out that ‘the several groups combined in the organization of the United Shoe Ma- chinery were noncompetitive. ‘The | justice declared the Sherman law did | } not contemplate the doing of business | by the smallest possible isolated units. {Previous Hearing Resulted agreement of Jury.
