We find nothing in the 1953 decree, as amended, or in the District Court's opinion relating thereto which presents an obstacle or embarrassment to the application of this principle in the present case. If the decree has not, after 10 years, achieved its 'principal objects,' namely, 'to extirpate practices that have caused or may hereafter cause monopolization, and to restore workable competition in the market'-the time has come to prescribe other, and if necessary more definitive, means to achieve the result. A decade is enough.

The court found that ' (1) defendant has, and exercises, such overwhelming strength in the shoe machinery market that it controls that market, (2) this strength excludes some potential, and limits some actual, competition, and (3) this strength is not attributable solely to defendant's ability, economies of scale, research, natural advantages, and adaptation to inevitable economic laws.' United States v. United Shoe Machinery Corp., 110 F.Supp.
