$4,000 APPEALS PENDING
No More Customs Cases Will Be
Heard by the Courts Until October
Millions Of Dollars Tied up Pend
ing Final Tariff Differences.

NEW YORK, june To- With the
closing Of the Federal Courts for the
summer, so far as tariff litigation is
concerned, nearly $4,000 appeals by
importers are now pending on the
suspended files Of the Board Of
United States General appraisers.
No more customs cases will be heard
by the courts until October
Most Of the issues now pending are
those arising under the present or
Dinglcy Tariff, although few ques-
tions under the tariffs Of 1890 and
1894 are before the courts for final
determination. The explanation Of
present conditions is said to lie in the
fact that the federal courts are IN no
position to devote their entire time
or even small part Of 1t to the ade-
quate hearing Of questions wholly ir-
relevant to the tariff, such as bank
ruptcy, admiralty, Civil and General
miscellaneous issues.
While official figures are not obtain
able, it is believed that several mil
lions of dollars are tied up pending
final tariff differences by the courts,
while much American capital which
might be used proftably is held back
until il is determined whether the
rates on certain lines of imports will
warrant home manufactures of the
foreign products, while existing con-
dition OF affairs in customs litigation
have caused renewed discussion of
measure introduced in congress two
years ago for the establishment OF a
customs court. The bill was drawn
up by one Of the members of the
Board Of appraisers and provided
that all tariff cases shall be brought
before the tribunal for determination.
In certain instances, however, appeals
could be prosecuted to the supreme
court OF the United States.
