CALLS IT BUSINESS "RIVALRY Member of Omaha Washing; Machine Company Talka of gaits by Dst. en pert Concern. The H. F. Brammer Manufacturing com pany of Davenport, la.. Is still of tha opin ion that the International Manufacturing company of Omaha Is manufacturing washing machines that It holds Is an In fringement upon the Brammer patents, notwithstanding the recent decision of the United States courts-enjoining the Inter national Manufacturing company from so doing. The Brammer company has agafn filed a suit In the United States cir cuit court enjoining the Omaha company from constructing, causing to be made, using or causing to be used, selling or de livering washing machines heretofore used, owned or constructed, counterfeited or made In Imitation of the patents of the Brammer company. The date of the hear ing of tha Injunction hss not yet been fixed. Only ten days ego Judge Carland granted an Injunction against the Omnha company at the Instance of the Brammer company, embodying practically the same rrayer as outlined In the later petition. A member of the International Manu facturing company said: "I do not Just exactly understand the ob ject of the present suit urless It Is to an ticipate the appeal we n?-t-;idy have made or will make against the recent decision of Judge Carland. We beat the Brammer com pany on the first suit, the Jury being out only about half an hour. The trouble with the Brammer company la that we are Its liveliest competitors and have cut In Im mensely on its trado. We have not made any machines covered by Its patent for a year or more and risv pot since the first suit was begun. They waat to he.mper our trade. We shall stay with them all right and are satisfied that we will win. OUrs is an Omaha enterprise and we have plenty of capital to back us, so we are hot Buffering any particular anxiety."
