Tacoma Sltohied oy Congress.

TACOMA, WASH, April Z. The Ia
coma Chamber of Commerce has become
excited over the discovery that the bill
passed by the late Congress. restraining
the importation of adulterated tea and
providing for inspectors at ports of entry,
does not mention Tacoma as one OF these
ports. San Francisco, Chicago, Boston
and New York are the ones mentioned.
As considerable tea is imported via Ia
coma and quick dispatch is the great de-
sidsratum in the business. it is feared Ia
coma's import trade in this respect may
be greatly injured because of the non-pro-
vision for inspector here. An attempt
will be made at once to have Congress
amend the law so as to include Tacoma
in the list.
