SEEKING SHOE FACTORY SITES
MANUFACTURER WANT TO
COME TO WASHINGTON.
Chamber of Commerce Committee
Considering Plans - Resolutions
Against Higher Tariff on Gloves.

The manufacturers committee of the
Chamber of Commerce gave a hearing
yesterday afternoon to two manufacture
ers who are considering Washington as
a site for their factories. One of these
was Charles j. Green, whose shoe fac
tory at Richmond was burned last De-
cember. If his plans are Endorsed by the
Chamber of Commerce and If he can
make satisfactory arrangements he will
build factory here. An expert account
ant will examine the books of the shoe
manufacturer and report to the commit
tee The subcommittee appointed to at
tend to this special matter is composed
of A. c. Moses, Harry King, John l..
Weaver and H. c. c. Stiles.
A subcommittee was also appointed to
look into the proposition of a manufac-
turer who is thinking of starting Il
electrical trucks. A. &. Moses. w. s.
Corby, &. A. Colburn and r. &. Graham
are the members.
If after the Payne tariff bill becomes
a law the price of imported kid gloves
and hosiery does not jump higher than
Gilroy's kite and other aeralautic Won
ders, the Chamber of Commerce of Wash
ington will deserve part of the praise, be-
cause that body joined last night in a
protest to Congress against an excessive
There Is a strong and concerted move
ment throughout the country, backed by
several OF the greatest business houses of
the United States. to urge the tariff re-
visers TO let the tax on imported gloves
and stockings alone. The reason given is
that the high tariff proposed on these
necessaries will make it absolutely impos-
sible to bring cheap grades to these
shores, and, it is claimed, the situation
in the trade is such that gigantic Amer
lean monopoly will be formed which will
boost the price of the American made ar
ticles away up into the skies.
Harry King is responsible for last
nights meeting Representatives Of
three committees met and heard Mr..
Kings argument against a high tariff on
the articles in question. The reasons he
stated are, briefly, that the proposed tax
will not result in an increased revenue
for the government, for no one will buy
imported gloves and hosiery al the price
made necessary by the tax, and the con-
manufacturers will put up their prices.
Consequently, in the eyes of the oppo-
nents of this particular item no one will
benefit by II but a few manufacturers.
After hearing Mr.. King and Isaac Cans
resolution was introduced by c. w.
Clagett voicing the protest of the Cham
Der of Commerce. The resolution will be
referred to the board of directors. A sub
committee was appointed to prepare a
further protest which will be sent TO
Congress after approval by the board of
directors.
The members of the subcommittee are
A. c. Moses. Harry King, Charles w.
Clagett, Isaac Cans and Frank P. May.
