WASHINGTON, October 9-Steinbach & Co
of New York. and Marshall Field & Co., of
Chicago, plaintiffs in two cases involving
the constitutonality Of the Mckinley Tariff
act, have filed briefs in the Supreme Court of
the United States. basing them chiefly on
the claim that the omission by the enrolling
clerk of the tobacco rebate section, stricken
from the original bill by the Senate and re-
stored in conference, makes the act void.
Many similar cases are quoted, and decisions
of state courts are cited holding that the
omission of clause In the draft of bill

bill passed by the Michigan Legislature, but

Both briefs cite the opinion of the late
