TRUSTS FAT ON Protection
Herbert Miles Says There are
Over a Dozen.
Wakes UP THE TARIFF COMMITTEE
Republicans and Democrats Alike
Question Him Severely-Benefits
Received by Monopolies Much
too Great.

Washington.-Refe to over a
dozen trusts" in his argument for
tariff reduction, Herbert E. Miles, of
Racine, Wis, chairman of the tariff
committee of the National Association
of Manufacturers, was principal
witness before the house ways and
means committee.
He was severely questioned by
Republicans and Democrats alike and
his remarks caused considerable dis
cussions of the attitude of the poll
tical parties in respect to tariff revis
ion. He compared the percentage of
the prices of certain articles which
represented the labor cost with the
percentage Of protection afforded
those articles by the tariff.
Chairman Payne repeatedly told
Mr.. Miles that the committee would
like to have a detailed statement of
his comparative figures. He contend
ed that the oil, steel and brass goods,
car, builders. locomotives, linsee1
oil, sugar, tobacco, glucose, chemicals,
meat. rubber goods. leather and lum
Der so called trusts" are receiving
protection that is much too great in
comparison to the labor cost of their
prducts.
Former Judge Samuel H. Cowen, of
Fort Worth, Texas, representing the
American Livestock Association AMI
the Texas Cattle Raisers' Association,
asked that the duty be retained on
cattle hides, claiming that it had not
been shown that free hides would
cheaper the cost of manufactured
leather articles to the ultimate con-
sumers. He claimed that the farmer
was getting his share of the benefits
of the fifteen cent duty obtained from
hides and that it was not going to the
packers as has been asserted.
Champ Clark, of Missouri, asked
Judge Cowen what he knew of the
beef trust.
Most of the people believe there is
q combination of packers to fix the
price of beef" replied the witness. He
told what he knew about the packers
methods of purchasing cattle and said
they did not fix the price of cattle
except when there was an oversupply
In the market.
Herbert E. Miles, chairman of the
tariff committee of the National AS
ISOLATION of Manufacturers, followed.
"A stone labeled as Bread" is what
he said the farmer is given through
the Dingley tariff.
Mr.. Miles said the Standard Oil
Company benefited most from the
duty on oil. The Standards wage cost
is per cent of the price to the con-
sumner and the tariff offers protec-
ton Of 80 per cent of the price. They
charge the American consumer" he
added, from 35 to IS per cent more
than the foreign consumer"
The tariff rates on steel and its
products, he said, are all in excess
of wage cost. Claiming that the is
an international price on steel, which
gives the American product to the
foreign consumer at a price 35 per
cent less than the price which the
home consumer must pay, he pointed
out that the foreign steel manufactur-
ers are able to sell for less than the
American manufacturers in such neu-
trail territory as Argentine or South
Africa
