Attacks Tariff system.

Washington. June l2.-Auja attack
upon the protective tariff system by
an American manufacturer who claim
ed to have studied labor and manu-
featuring conditions in many countries
of the world held the close attention
OF the House of Representatives for
two hours to-day. Representative VIII
liam c. Redfeld. of Brooklyn. a new
Democratic member. manufacturer of
machinery and long connected with
export trade. declared TO the House
that American manufacturers are
abandoning the protective principle as
unnecessary as they develop more
scientific Management of their own
plants as nov carried out in the more
advanced American factories
THE protective tariff has simply
enabled American manufacturers to
sell at such high prices that they have
not studied their own conditions
closely" said Mr.. Redheld They have
relied on government support rather
than upon close business manage
ment. Its effect has been to stimulate
the development of plants until they
are now so large that products must
be sold abroad. In this condition the
manufacturers no longer want to pay
the high prices necessary for material
under a protective tariff"
foreign labor being cheaper, American
labor is really the cheapest in the
world: that from exhaustive personal
investigation in many parts of the
world, he knew that no la Dor pro-
duced as much product in proportion
to the wages ii received as American.
He said the American iaboring man
only wants TO be free from old re-
strictions and outgrown systems"
Mr.. Redfield attacked the Republi-
can principle OF tariff equal to the
difference in cost at home and abroad"
lie said It was impossible to determine
this difference in cost, because of
higher quality OF American labor and
varying factory conditions
THE American tar fl board Is
worthless unless empowered TO call
for the cost sheets Of thu factories en-
gagged in the line of manufacture 1t Is
studying said Mr.. Redfeld, Give
IT that power. and see what a howl
goes up from the American manu-
facturers. The truth is that often the
American cost of production is lower"
