scheme to make a close combination of the shoe manufacturing in
terests of the country, with a view to controlling not only the do
mestic trade, but the markets of the world as well. Thomas II

movement must be considered clear.
Notwithstanding the effort to gloss the
matter over, the action of the disocesan
convention Is one of the signs of the

church at large Is dominated by what
