to-day gave hearing to a committee repre-
senting the American BaggiDg Association
and Millers of Minnesota, in reference to the
drawback on -four bags and cotton bagging

has been suspended on the ground that per-
sons heretofore making the drawback en-
tries were custom house brokers who had no
direct interest in the business, but who col

their own name. The committee represented
unless the former system of draw backs was
resumed 1t would cut of the drawbacks alto
gether.

circumstances which would give me the
name. did not charge my memory be
