All Sorts of
Hides.

Another meeting of the Newark
leather manufacturers to discuss the
effect of the proposed tariff law on
leather products was held today in
the Board of Trade rooms. Abraham
Rothschild, of Stengel & Rothschild,
leather manufacturers, who had jour
neyed to Washington, reported the
sentiment heard in the capitol re-
garding the new tariff bill
AS a result of the conference the
leather men will request their rep
resentatiyes in Congress to obtain the
same rate of tariff on all leather
made from cattle hides as is provided
in the new bill for leather made from
small skins. 1t was pointed out that
under paragraph 374 of the new bill
such leather as is made from calf,
sheep goat and other skins is pro-
tected by tariff of Is per cent
The leather merchants contend that
this same rate of tariff should be
placed on all leather made from
cattle hides. The senators and con-
gressmen from this State will be
urged to use their influence in secur-
ing this equal tariff rate.
