peared before the finance committee of the Senate today to protest against fea- lures of the democratic chemical sched- ule.
 The other members of the committees were w. A. Erwin and Caesar Cone of North Carolina MT. Erwin, as chairman of the committed, argued before the committee that the placing of certain fabric dyes on the dutiable list as in the democratic bill will work an injustice to those manufacturers who make cheap cotton fabrics for working people. such as goods for overalls, gingnams and other cheap grades of print cottons. They argue that these dyes have been on the free list for 30 years, that they are essential to the manufacture of this class of goods and that they can ono be purchased in the foreign market.
 The manufacturers expressed the opinion that the ways and means com- mittee of the House had merely made a clerical error in placing a duty of 10 per cent on this class of chemicals. and some of the members of the finance committee expressed the same opinion.
