THOUSANDS At
STAKE IN LEATHER
TARIFF FIGHT
Newarkers Claim that Hides in
Bond Should Be Admitted
Free of Duty.
@. FOX PREDICTS VICTORY
FOR MANUFACTURERS
Brisk Trade Revival Expected to
Follow the Revision In
a Short Time.

Since the tariff bill became a law
ard he new rates we're established an
interesting question has been raised as
to whether leather held in bond, and
now awaiting the action of the Gus
toms officials. should be admitted free
or der the Ole schedule. Newark a
ufacturers and those of other cities
contend that when an article Is In
bond 1t Is still on foreign soil, and that
leather received in this way before the
passage of the tariff bill should now
be admitted free. The previous duty
On hides was Is per cent. and with
this off there would be a considerable
saving:
Owen Fox, vice-president of the
Radel Leather Manufacturing Com
pany, said today:
From all accounts, it seems to me
that the leather manufacturers who
Nave bought foreign hides and have
had them in bono for the last few
months will be fortunate enough to
win out"
THE reason the foreign article is
used SO much t.. preference to the
domestic is because the cattle. on tie
other sid is hand fed. and not allow
to roam around in barb-wirsd ranches,
1fla n.r,. @t.r.a II t. I--,t 1A.4i-,,al1,r
under a watchful eye, and, as a rule,
enclosed in a large field with fine stone
walls around them. Hence, when the
leather is put through the tanning
process it comes out clean and free
from scratches.
American hides. as a rule. are
usually scratched. end cannot be sci
for the finer class of trade. Also tha
foreign product is much larger than
ours, and, as the automobile manufac-
turers are making their machi es
larger, it takes a foreign hide to do the
work. Our own leather would have to
be pieced."
1t vas generally believed today that,
VII oNNOuIll u tiC DtSCbSE VI II4t Oii,
it would give every individual tanner
in the business a chance to make in
creased profits, as the packer will not
now have the field hat they thought
they would if the duty on hides re-
manned unchanged. r.
1t is believer that If the decision in
the case is in favor of the leather men
il will make a difference of thousands
of dollars.
1t is said that, believing that there
would be a change in the tariff. moro
hides than usual were bought abroad
during the last few months, and have
been placed in bonded warehouses. This
there was no change in the tariff there
would not be any loss to those whc
have the hides in the warehouses. while
if the duty was abolished there would
be a big saving.
Leather men see a brisk revival OF
trade. Owing to the fact that many
| Of the manufacturers have bought theil
supply at the prevailing prices the eff.
feet of the tariff will not be felt to the
onsume for some months. But i
means an immediate awakening in thu
leather business and the employment
of several hundred more men In this
city. All kinds of leather goods vii
be cheaper to the consumer in a short
time.

"A GIRL At THE HELM"
OPERA HOUSE nov. 9Th

Managers Reichert & Ray succeeded
in securing H H. Frazee's beautiful
musical play, IA Girl at the Helm"
which will be presented at the Dickin-
son opera house, Monday. November g..
1909.
A review of "A Girl at the Helm
would reach enormous proportions If
n were to 20 yer every portion of the
piece. In a limited. space it is only
possible to hit the '.hieh spots''. The
grand finale of the first act (there are
but two acts) and the opening of the
second act are the highest spots in the
production. The music in the first act
finale reaches the dignity Of real opera
and the chorus even attains to the
almost sacred worth Of the ancient Greek
chorus when it elucidates ard gives
warning of a grand finale. There are
spectacular dances in profusion, one Of
them representing the various forms Of
gambling from roulette to the turf. the
latter being represented by several
broilers dressed as jockeys and running
around the stage jumping over hurdles.
In number three autos are riaged up
during a dark instant and the incan-
descents come on showing three machines
fled with show girls and raising q
cloud of dust while horns blow and
lights glare. .
In many of the chorus numbe,s the
men take prominent parts. their prom
inence being due to their unusually fne
voices and good presence. Their Co.'S
tunes are second only to the elaborate
Clothes Of the girls.
The fishing ballet act in the second
act is original and full of funny sur
prises. BY way of keeping up with
contemporaries. AL Holbrook has ar
RANGED a ''Salome'' dance by four
broilers. In the subdued light one
would think that the dancers performed
in bare feet but they are not.
The plot of "A Girl at the Helm
is well drawn and is not lost sight of
at any time.
