Several hills to curb the monopolizing power of patentees over unpatented articles used in operating patented machines began to show life In congress today. Some old bills were revived and new ones were drafted in response to Chid Justice White's appeal for congress to change the law which a majority of the Supreme court found yesterday gave patentees practically restricted privilege regarding the manner in which their patents may be used.

The chief justice declared that con gress should net to head off "untold evils" which would follow the court's instruction of the law and arraigned the nrajorlty as having broken all precedents.
