in good condition and would pay the
crew which operates the machine dur

Tariff Cut Frightens
Trenton Pottery Firms

TRENTON. Oct. 24.-The reduction
of the tariff on pottery ware will have
drastic effects upon the potters of this
city. according to the final agreement
at the joint session of the pottery
owners and operatives. The meeting
adopted a tentative two-year pact at
present wages.
Frank H. Hutchins. vice president
of the National Union of Operative
Potters. said yesterday that
the real effect of the reduction of the
tariff would not be felt in this city
until next February. and maybe not
until later. Mr.. Hutchins said that
the reduction of 121s per cent. in the
tariff on pottery ware probably meant
the ruination of the industry in this
country.
