Plant Company Plea in Shoe Machinery Monopoly Case
The Thomas G. Plant Company files its plea in the Supreme Judicial Court in the United Shoe Machinery case.

The filing outlines prior industry combinations and asserts the defendant Boston shoe maker has relied on Plant's leases to maintain market dominance while improving its own production.
