sions - Committee Also

the Large Manufacturing
Industry.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Today's hear
ing on the proposed tariff revision
formed one OF the most important OF
the entire series held by the house
ways and means committee. Cotton
manufactures and silk. and silk goods
We're the two important schedules
taken up. In past tariff hearings these
tariffs have proved To be among those
of greatest interest and delegations
of manufacturers from cotton manu-
featuring centers were On hand to
present their views to the committee.
Cotton cloth, hosiery and silk manu-
features were among the articles
which attracted especial attention.
An important gathering of repre-
se1tatives of the soap industry in the
United States was held in Washington
last night. 1t is estimated that So
per cent of the soap manufacturers
in the United States, representing an
aggregation of over S75,000,000 capt.
tai invested in the manufacture and
sale of laundry and toilet soaps and
washing powders were represented.
Many arguments were advanced
and committees were appointed to
prepare briefs to be filed with the
ways and means committee stating
that the tariff on tallow is unjust and
has not been effective as a revenue
producer. Among the other articles
upon which the soap men claim there
should be no duty are cocoanut oil,
soda ash and caustic soda.
Hemp and Jutre.
OF more interest than yesterdays
nearing before the ways and means
committee for the consideration of
changes in the tariff schedules for flax.
hemp and jute and their manufactures
is the proposed readjustment of that
schedule to conform with The decis-
ions and interpretations of the courts.
According to one decision mats made
of straw were held to be entitled to
entry at only 80 per cent as manufac-
lures of straw, instead of being i'm
posed the duty of from thirty to sew
enty per cent specified for floor mat
tings- II is proposed TO remedy this
by including all mats manufactured
from straw or other vegetable SUBJ
stances mot otherwise provided for
in the same paragraph with floor mat
tings.
What is known as drawn work,
which belongs in the same class OF
articles as laces, is to be specifically
provided for. as it is also proposed
TO provide for landings. betting. bind
ings. ornaments. ribbons. tapes and
webs OF webbing.
New paragraphs for the schedule
nave been suggested for ramie sill
yer, or rowing. which is now held to
be dutiable by similitude as cotton
rovings, or vegetable fibre which have
been dyed, dressed, treated or manu-
featured in any manner. Textile
grasses and fibrous vegetable sub
stances are free of duty when not
dressed or manufactured in any man
ner, but there is no provision for such
substances when in the intermediate
stage of being dressed or subjected to
other manufacturing process.

Grafton describe the local option parade in the little
city Of Mitchell just before the election which resulted
in closing the saloons Of that town.
But probably the most exciting meeting in which Mr..
Grafton has taken part in long time the one in
which he got mixed up with Of the intellectual
giants Of the liquor side, named Diedrlck, the
national representative Of the Manufacturers and Deal
