NEW TARIFF A PERIL
New Rates VIII Not benefit Consumers
Minimum Wage Laws and Vice
Commissions.

Tariff manipulation as outlined by the
leaders of the democratic administration
was attacked from all angles at the an
nuaI convention of the National Assoca-
ton of Hosiery and Underwear Manufac-
turers in Philadelphia.
Charles E. Lelppe, president OF the Ma
tional Association, made tariff agitation
the feature of his annual address and the
unanimous approval given his views on
the subject by the representatives Of the
more than 400 mills scattered through
out the country was a clear indication of
their feelings in the matter. President
Leippe declared emphatically that the
plans under way for tariff revision will
help neither the American hosiery and
underwear manufacturer nor the Ameri-
can workman. Neither, he insisted, will
| It help the consumer, because the latter,
on account of internal competition, Is
buying better values at less money than
the consumers of hosiery and knit goods
OF equal quality in any other part of this
world
President Leippe also took rap at the
| policy OF various States I'm Vicing with
/ their neighbors to see which can pass tho
most progressive. up -the-second laws
in which he said they are being backed
up by paid secretarieg of womcns organ
cations based on knowledge handed out
by men WITH university education who
admit they know nothing of labor con-
ditionS except what they have read in
books"
Charles Vein of New YORK took up the
recent invcstiEa tions of vice commissions
in all parts OF the country and ridiculed
the general proposition Of trying to place
the blame for existing conditions on the
shoulders of manufacturers on the ground
that working girls are not paid enough in
the mills and factories. He insisted that
the so-called upper classes with their
turkey trots, bunny hugs and other de-
grading practices, have done more to
harm the moral conditions of the coun-
itry's working girls than any other cause.
There is nothing so pernicious or futile,
he declared, as the proposed minimum
wage laws for girls to prevent them from
going wrong"
"Why do not your vice commissioners
tell the TRUTH" asked Mr. Vein. The
investigations they pretend to carry on
touch not the society rich, who set these
bad examples: they make no pretcnsion
to find out how many girls 80 wrong
because OF the perncious xamplcs set
by their supposedly superior sisters; they
made no inouiry to prove the truth of my
assertion that wages i'm the hosiery mills
have increased 90 per cent I'm the last

cent.
