GRIP OF THE LEATHER TRUST

Representative William e. Cox re-
calls that two years ago the benevo.

100000 of revenues, put hides on the
free list. 1t develops that In doing
so 1t only diverted into the leather
trusts treasury the 100000. The
trust organization was not only strong
enough to supplant the government as
tax collector, but 1t has actually I'm.

be able TO get all this at one time.
but We should at least have free
leather as well as free hides, and thus
we shall deal with the leather trust
and possibly segregate II from its
closely affiliated shoe and shoe ma
chinery trusts and also get ready to
deal with them by letting down the
bars to foreign manufactured finished
leather goods.
The Britons have begun to develop
shoe and boot making machinery that
is different from that on which the
shoe machinery trust has world pat

some degree of freedom. This coun,
