HIDE SCHEDULE

COnfereeS Discuss the Other
Matters in Dispute.
QUESTION UP TO HOUSE

Conference Committee Awaiting Ac-
tion by Lower Branch of Congress
on Resolution Authorizing a Reduc-
ton in Rates of Manufactured
Leather Goods Before Making a
Final Decision Regarding Hides.
Washington, July 2S.-The confer.
ees on the tariff bill devoted the day
to other subjects than hides, pending
decision by the house on resolution
authorizing the committee to reduce
the rates In the leather schedule.
1t is not true that opponents of free
hides are willing to accept free hides
II they can get free leather and free
leather goods. If they have to take
free hides they want the hide products
also free, but they do not in reality
desire that either hides or leather or
leather goods should be placed upon
the free list. Therefore, many of the
hide men will refuse to vote for the
resolution authorizing reduction
from the house rate on leather and
leather goods. Not only will they
vote against this resolution, but they
are doing all they can to antagonize
1t. Said one of them.

er and leather products protected as

further would be to surrender to the

that"
Inc hide men are making strong
appeal to the representatives from

districts In the hope that they viii see
that the placing of hides on the free

Strong Sentiment for Free Hides.
Still the sentiment in favor of free
hides Is very strong and the repre
sentatives of the manufacturing GEN.
ters are quite as active as the hide
men. Many of them are willing To
make Slight reduction in order to
procure the complete surrender of the
hide advocates. They have with them
on the new proposition for the reduc-
tlon not only the most of the repre-
sentatlyes from the manufacturing
districts and the president. who is un-

of Democratic doctrine, regardless OF
the effect the vote will have upon

Before entering the conference
Chairman Payne of the house conferees
said that no effort would be made to
have the house act on the proposed re-
duction resolution before the latter
part of the week Meantime the con-
ferees will make an effort to have all
