REVISE THE TARIFF
Or Cotton Seed Cannot
Be Exported.
The Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers
Association Point Out That Euro
pean Retaliation Destroys
Our Markets.
(Bv the Associated Press.l

New orleans, La, May 1S.-Before
concluding it's annual session here to-
day the Interstate Cotton Seed
Crushers Association in which 700
mills are represented, unanimously
passed a resolution urging the revi-
sion of the present tariff.
The report of the committee on
tariff urged that a memorial be pre-
scented to the State Department ask
ing the exercise of its influence to stay
the prohibitive Austro-Hungarian
tariff, which has raised the duty of
American cotton seed oil from z 1-2
to SOC. a gallon and the German
tariff, which is to go into effect in
1906, making an increase of % per
cent Under these duties exports of
cotton seed products are expected to
be entirely destroyed
Revision of the tariff is considered
imperative. therefore, to stop Euro
pean retaliation.
One of the important results of
the convention was the creation of
a bureau OF publicity.
A report favorable to mutual in
surance was presented by r. l.. Hefiin,
of Galveston, at today's session and
adopted.
Edwin Lehman Johnson. of Mem
phis, declared that $10,000,0 600 a
year was lost by the heating OF cot
ton used. Mr.. Johnson said that Df-
rector North, of the Census Bureau,
would put any data furnished by the
association to the end of reducing
this loss in the government bulle-
tins.
These officers were elected:
President j. Hamilton, of Baton
Rouge. La; vice-president, Frank III.
Bailey, of Paris, Texas, and secre
tary. Robert Watson, of Dallas,
Texas. The executive committee
will decide upon the next place of
meeting.
