Business carried on In tha constant
fear of harraastna- lawsuits by tha Oor
eminent ran no more continue In a
normal competltiTe condition than can
business which Is carried on under the
shadow of a treat monopoly. Tyranny
under tha form of law Is no less tyran
nous than tyranny In the- form of. a
commercial trust.
While the decisions of the Supreme
Court In the Standard OH and Tobacco
cases meet with feneral approval In
so far as they find the companies con
cerned sjullty of acts condemned and
forbidden by the Sherman law. they
still leave open to controversy the
question as to whether the Sherman
anti-trust law la or la not a rood thins;
for the United States of America and
the question whether the reasoning: of
the Supreme Court Is or Is not calcu
lated to benefit future economic con
ditions. The one thine about the opinions
which, to my mind. Is particularly dla
taataful Is the fact that according- to
them, while the Sherman act makes a
violation of Its provisions criminal, yet
man or a group of men cannot, until
a court has passed upon the question,
ascertain whether a step contemplated
la criminal or Innocent. Such a state
of affair ouarht never to exist.
Beitrslst Taeacht Felly.
Criminal lawavehould lay down rules
aa definite and certain and so easily
ascertained and understood that every
man can act In the light of a perfect
understanding and know Just what he
may do and may not do.
It Is obvious that there la an over
whelming tendency toward the com
bination of Industrial and economto
force. It Is utter folly for the state or
tha Nation to attempt to restrain or to
dam up the current of events. It la
Just as Impossible to resolve the pres
ent business and economic conditions
Into the Independent entitles which pre
vailed 104 years ago as It la to resolve
our present civilization Into tha bar
barous elements of the barbarous past.
I believe In Federal regulation. I do
not believe In atate supervision. State
boundaries have long ago become com
mercially non-existent. Rapid trans
portation, the telephone, the telegraph,
and the t'nited Statea malls have anni
hilated the distinction between the
states of the Union, from a commer
cial standpoint.
She Batalaeaa K x a ss p le.
Just what that supervision or regu
lation should be. Just what Its limits
should be. are questions which It Is
Impossible for any man to answer, but
If the Government Is sincerely seeking
a solution of the problem It can find a
pattern for emulation right at hand.
It happens that In the shoe business.
In which I have been engaged all my
life, a condition exists which might
well serve aa an example to every other
Industry, If the situation In other In
dustries were such that they could
adopt the system which has met with
this pronounced success.
In the boot and shoe business there
Is not and never haa been a trust. The
output of shoes In the United States Is
manufactured by more than 1200 Inde
pendent concerns, and the trust form
of control haa never been able to make
any headway.
According to the census reports Just
Issued the value of the products of
American fatcorles has Increased 70 per
cent since l00. the number of em
ployes has Increased 10 per cent, and
the amount of wagea paid them bus
Increased 6 per cent. The exports of
boots and shoes have Increased from
lea than IS.ootf.008 to more than J13.-
OO.OOO. There la no other American
Industry which makes a more striking
exhibition of substantial progress and
this prosperity baa redounded to the
advantage of more than 60.000 retail
dealers.
DIscrlMlaatlea la Absent.
Every shoe manufacturer who ana
lyxea the matter concedea that the rea
son why no trust has been possible In
the shoe Industry Is because no shoe
manufacturer or group of shoe manu
facturers haa ever monopolized the ma
chinery necessary for the manufacture
of shoes, or has ever been able to ex
clude rival manufacturers from the use
of such machinery. Many different
machines are useu In the manufacture
of shoes and about 0 per cent of this
number are made and sold or leased
by the United Shoe Machinery Com
pany. A large number of machines are
also made and sold by the Singer Sew
ing Machine Company and other con
cerns to shoe manufacturers.
Following the custom which has pre
vailed in the shoe machinery business
for more than to years, the United Shoa
Machinery Company leases Its machines
without discrimination to the shoe
manufacturers for a fixed standard
royalty, although the shoe .manufac
turer baa the option of buying many
af them, the average royalty which the
company receives for all classes of
shoes being less than S -l oenta per
pair.
The smallest shoo manufacturer can
lease his machinery from tha United
shoe Machinery Company on precisely
the same terms aa hla largest and most
prosperous competitor, with an equal
chance to utilise the latest devtcea and
without bejng obliged to figure whether
he ran afford to throw his old machines
away.
A Isrge proportion of the present
successful shoe manufacturers of the
United States owe their start to the
fact that they were able, with little
capital, to obtain from he United Shoe
Machinery Company and Its predeces
sors shoe machinery, for which they
had to pay royalties simply on the
shoes as they were produced, with the
result that, as they acquired capital,
they were always able to obtain ma
chinery at a fixed standard royalty,
without tying up their capital, and
were thus able to nse their capital In
the extension of their plant and credit
and the marketing of their products.
This system Is precisely the same
that the Government, through it
bureau of corporations, has repeatedly
commended. It is the only system by
which the trade generally without dls
crimination may make use of processes
and facilities In which a natural or
legal monopoly exists, upon payment of
a reasonable fixed sum. And here in
actual and successful operation Is

system like that which Commissioner
Garfield and Commissioner Smith have
said could beneficially be applied to the

Orgaalaatloa Alsaoat Perfect.
If the United Shoe Machinery Com
pany had sought to pattern Its business
after the highest Ideal, wnicn tne uov
eminent has held up In successive re
ports of Its commissioners of corpora
tion. It could not have determined upon
a more perfect form of organisation
and operation than It now haa.
Nevertheless, this Is the Identical
scheme which the Department of Jus
tice, In Its recent proceedings against
tne United Shoe Machinery Company,
contends Is In violation of the Sher
man anti-trust act. Whether It Is
Illegal or not la a question for the
lawyers fo thrash out. Whatever they
may decide, this plan or operation
seems, at any rate, to be Just the
thing that has kept the shoe business
generally prosperous, contented. In
dependent, and free from every form
of oppressive trust or combination.

LOS ANGELES. Nov. SO. Talesmen
popped In and out of the Jury box In
the McNamara murder trial today,
making; a scene of some activity, but
small progress. Then activity died
down In the afternoon session under
an extended examination of M. F.
Mooney. a talesman, and It became
necessary for a bailiff to awaken one
man who went to sleep In court. F. A.
McBurney. a builder, was passed aa to
cause by both sides.
Talesman Mooney was a miner In
Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania,
where he belonged to a union. He Is
an Irish Catholic, as Is James B. Mc
Namara. who Is on trial. Since leav
ing; Pennsylvania, Mooney has belonged
to the National Association of Station
ary Engineers, which Is not affiliated
with the American Federation of Labor.
He also la a member of the Los An
geles Catholic Mutual Benefit Associa
tion, of which Joseph Scott, of counsel
for the defense. Is an officer, and be
knowa Scott.
State Kaaaslaea Sfooaey.
All these circumstances were re
garded by the defense as favorable,
and after obtaining a little more in
formation. Clarence S. Darrow, chief
of counsel, accepted Mooney as to
cause and turned him over to the state.
The rest of the afternoon waa con
sumed In his examination by Assistant
District Attorney Vermllyea,
Talesman William Nicholson was ex
cused from service today because of
the suddenly-developed Illness of his
wife. The Incident recalled a long list
of Jurors excused thus far because of
their own sickness or that of members
of their families, and the fact that a
brother of J. B. Sexton, a sworn Juror,
Is critically 111; Byron Lies, another
sworn Juror, has trouble with his eyes,
and out at Pomona the wife of Juror
F. D. Green Is threatened with nervous
prostration. Two veniremen not yet
summoned to the Jury box were ex
cused, each because of Illness of his
wife.
Packer la Excused.
Ia A. Hauser, president of a packing;
company, waa excused because of con
scientious scruples against capital pun
ishment, and Fred D. J. Meyer was al
lowed to go after the defense had chal
lenged him peremptorily for bias. A
like challenge against Talesman Mc
Burney was unsuccessful, and McBur
ney was added to the list of talesmen
passed as to cause by both sides. He
Is not likely to be on the final Jury.
The ninth venire appeared In court
today, and from 60 names 14 men were
left after Judge Walter Bordwell's pre
liminary examination. A new venire
probably will be drawn before the end
of the week.
Harrtaaaa Usury la Politics
Attorney Darrow explained today that
the absence of Job Harrtman from tha
oounsel table of the defense was due
to the letter's activity in the Mayoralty
race. Harrlman. who is running for
Mayor on the Socialist ticket. Is busy
making speeches, and Attorney Darrow
declared he probably will not appear
In the courtroom until after the elec
tion. December 6.
Should Harrlman be elected. Attorney
Darrow said he waa not sure yet
whether ha would continue aa associate
counsel for the defense, but It Is gen
erally expected that he will sever his
connection with the defense on account
of hla new duties. At present the of
fices of Attorney Darrow are In con-
Junction with Harrlman.
The defense today resumed exam
ination of Fred De J. Meyer, who was
on the stand at the close of court Sat
urday. Meyer said he believed the
Times waa dynamited, and that Mc
Namara did It. This opinion, he said.
was pretty firmly fixed. He was chal
lenged by the defense for actual bias.
Assistant District Attorney O. Ray
Horton, for the state, resisted the challenge.
Bias la Admitted.
Under Horton's questioning. Meyer
said practically all he knew about the
case was what he had read In the
newspapers. As opinions based on such
Information do not disqualify a Juror

posed he could" try the case fairly, the
state resisted the challenge.
"If you "were a Juror do you think
the strong opinion you now have would
or would not Influence youT" asked At
torney Darrow.
"It would, somewhat. "
Darrow then put the challenge rip to
Judge Bordwell. Meyer told the Judge
it waa possible" he could return a ver
dict based solely upon the evidence,
and that he didn't know whether he
had a doubt of his ability to try Mc
Namara on the evidence alone. He
then was excused.
Challeage Not Allowed.
Talesman F. A. McBurney. a design
er and contractor, the next talesman
examined, was a classmate of Assistant
District Attorney Horton In High
School. He said he was not opposed to
unions "so long aq they don't inter
fere with my business."
"As to wages and length of hours?"
asked Attorney Darrow.
"Yes."
McBurney said he had an opinion,
based on newspaper reports, that union
labor sympathizers or members blew up
the Times building. He waa chal
lenged by Darrow for bias, and again
the state resisted.
Judge Bordwell disallowed the chal
lenge. Talesman Mooney. formerly m. sta
tionary engineer and member of the
miners' union, but now In the real
estate business, next was examined by
Attorney Darrow. He said that at one
time he was a member of the National
Association of Stationary Engineers,
which, he said, was not considered a
labor union. Ills brother, he said, now
la superintendent of a colliery of the
Delaware at Hudson Railroad In New
York.
He asserted that he had no opinions
on the case, and was passed for cause
by the defense.
"I don't believe In strikes at all."
Mooney said in response to further
questions. "I've never seen anything;
gained from one."
He said he believed tha Times dis
aster was caused by a very strong ex
plosive and that viewing the ruins con
firmed that opinion.
Mooney was still under examination
by the atate when court adjourned.
