Burn Wagon and Household Goods on

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City. April s.-unknown van
dals, of presumed good standing In the
community, committed most unusual
crime on the highway leading into
Iowa City when their automobile be-
, became stranded in the mud. They
founded close by a wagon, owned by
Halbert Heberling, Of Iowa City. who
was removing his family and house
hold goods hither from Atalissa. One
of his vehicles had become mired, and
he had transferred his family to the
second and advanced to Iowa City.
When the automobile men found the
other wagon they took out the mat
tresses and other bedding, and used
them as supports, thus eXtricatins
their car finally. Then they set fire
to the Heberling vehicle. and burned
up all of the goods therein. A rifle
was found in the wagon. and the ras-
calls used this to frighten away people
who started to the scene of the fire
They discharged the rifle several
times; and then waited until the Heb
erling property had burned up, and
drove rapidly away. There is no clue
as to the identity OF the guilty men.

DECLARE PROPOSED TARIFF RE.
pucTIoNs ~ DEMOCRATS
WILL RUIN INDUSTRY.
MuscArINE MANUFACTURERS
HOLD MEETING TO PROTEST
Send Appeal to Congressman Pepper
to Prevent Proposed chansss-say
Button Workers Would Be Thrown
Into Direct Composition With Cheap
Japanese and Australian Labor.

Muscatine, April REPRESENTING the
claim that the reduction in the tariff
on pearl buttons as proposed in the
democratic tariff revision bill reported
to the house at Washington will de-
moralize the fresh water pearl button
industry. local button manufacturers
in session yesterday outlined definite
course OF action which will be followed
in the hope that sufficient protection
may still be retained TO safeguard the
industry from the decentralization which
1t is claimed will result If the foreign
made article is thrown on the Ameri-
can market in competition with the
American goods.
All Of the large plants were repre-
scented at the conference. The plant
managers were agreed that the pro-
posed reduction would severely injure
the business and are united in any
plan which may be proposed to perpet-
uate a prosperous industry.
The Proposed CChanse.
Dispatches received by local but
ton men confirm the Geographic in
formation that the new bill provides a
40 per cent straight adj valorem duty
on imported buttons but makes no spe-
ciflc tax. The present tariff calls for
a specific duty of 1H cents per line
and 10 per cent ad valorem. This, it
is pointed out. is material reduction
in the tariff. Local manufacturers and
others interested in the button bust
ness. declare that the proposed bill SO
reduces the protection that the work.
ingmen employed in the button bust
ness in America will be thrown into
direct competition with the cheap
Japanese and Austrian labor. 1t is
shown that In instances the tariff viii!
be reduced st Z-3 10 10 per cent ard
this it is declared by local Inanufac-
turers seriously threatens the business.
Under the present tariff the duty on
a 20 line button manufactured at the
cost of 10 cents in Japan, was S1h
cents, and under the new bill it would
be but IA cents, or a reduction of II
cents.
Protsstrto Pepper.
That specific duty of 1 cent a line
IS needed In order that the American
industry may thrive is the claim adj
vanced by local manufacturers in a
telegram sent to Congressman I. =.
Pepper.
The message follows:
Forty per cent ad valorem duty
as proposed in Underwood bill will
| wipe out the pearl button industry in
America. The industry must have at
least 1 per cent per line specific duty
in order to exist"
People Concerned.
The local button men are deeply
concerned as to the proposed tariff
reduction. They intend to put forth
every energy in order that the business
will not be dealt a death blow. Those
who attended the meeting this morning
held the opinion that the members Of
the ways and means committee were In
ignorance as to the effect which the
proposed reduction would have upon
the industry. Several expressed the
