THE CIGAR MAKERS, PROTEST.

Substitute to the Ways and Means

(By United Press. I

[By United Press.]
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The Key West
and Tampa manufact urers of Havana
cigars, who appeared before the ways
and means committee yesterday, submit
ted substitute schedule to day with the
request that the committee adopt it in
place of the one to which objection is
made. In the schedule adopted by the
committee, bales of tobacco containing
any tobacco suitable for cigar wrappers
are made dutiable at the higher rate pre-
scri ed for tobacco suitable for wrappers.
The substitute schedule aims to do away
with this feature. 1t is as follows:
Schedule Tobacco and manufact-
urers of leaf tobacco suitable for cigar
wrappers, if not stemmed two dollars per
pound; if stemmed, two dollars and
seventy-fv cents per pound: Provided,
that if any bale, box or package con-
tains twenty per cent. or less of tobacco
suitable for cigar wrappers, the entire
quantity of tobacco contained in such
bale, box or package or in bulk shall be
dutiable, if not stemmed, at 35 cents
pound: Provided further, that if any
bale, box or package contains more
than twenty per cent. of tobacco
suitable for cigar wrappers, the entire
quantity of tobacco contained in such
bale, box or package, or in bulk, shat
be dutiable, if not stemmed, at two dol
lars per pound; if stemmed, at two dol
lars and seventy-five centsl,per pound
Provided further, that if any tobacco
impo. ID in any bale, box, package, Of
in bulk, shall consist of tobacco pro
duced in other countries, the entir,
quantity of tobacco contained in sucf
bale, box, package, or in bulk, shall b.
| dutiable, if not stemmed, at two dollars
per pound.

tory to the manufacturers of clea
