The committee amendment placing
cotton bagging on the free list was agreed
by a vote of 81 to p.
MIR. Allison called attention to the
paragraph 270, which has been amended
so as to read "Burlaps containing not
over forty threads to the square inch, 20
per cent ad valorem, " the words bags
for grain made of such burlaps, 20 per
cent. ad valorem" being struck out In
other words, he said the duty on the raw
material had been increased from - to
20 per cent, while the manufactured
article was placed on the free list.
In the debate which Mr.. Allison thus
started Messrs. Mills, Vest and Jones and
White of California all favored putting
burlaps itself on the free list, and Mr.

paragraph go (burlaps and grain bags
made from burlaps) and to place both on
the free list.
