ABSTRACT
The Brandeis hearings are closed, and all that any supporter of Mr. Brandeis would ask is that people might read the testimony. His opponents have had every conceivable opportunity to present every bit of evidence, rumor, and suspicion that could be found to throw an unfavorable light upon him. They existed before he was associated with the corporation. When he appeared in 1906 before the Massachusetts legislature to argue against prohibitory legislation, he did so by agreement with the Shoe Machinery Company and shoe manufacturers, and with the understanding that there would be a voluntary change in the leases. As early as 1906 he was counsel for a large number of shoe manufacturers, and no one thought there was anything improper in the relationship. There is the Warren will case, which may be left with the admission of Mr. Moorfield Storey that he would have acted exactly as Mr. Brandeis did.
