House ways and means committee re-
sumed it's hearings to-day, William
Rutherford of Oakland, Cal. repre-
senting IL company which had been
manufacturing Irvine, yarn and cloth
for thirty years, asked that yarns made
of jute be advanced from 80 to 80 per
cent ad valorem; hat burlaps and
bags of grain made of burlaps be trans
ferred to the dutiable list at "a cents
per pound and bags for grain made of
burlaps be taxed . cents per pound;
that gunny bags and gunny cloths, old
or refuse fit only for manufacture, be
changed from the free list to = cent
per pound. He declared that the Will
son law had wrought commercial dis
aster and social discomfort to the Pa
cific coast, but the farmers and manu-
facturers had in the last election
voted for protection, knowing it
would restore prosperity to them. The
industry on the Pacific coast had been
stricken down and low there were 300
idle looms in Oakland, while in New
York and Massachusetts, mills had al
so been closed. Under the operation of
the present law, horse blankets, plaids,
carriage robes, tarpaulin and print
cloths were entered free of duty and
came into competition with American
products, particularly cotton. Theywerc
entered by virtue of the designation
''other materials in the jute and
hemp schedule of the Wilson bill, al
though the American manufacturers
had protested against such a construc-
ton of the law. Many of the goods
entered free were dyed SO that the
American dyer was also robbed by the
system.
