POTTERS PLEAD
FOR HIGH TARIFF
Underwood Indicates That He
Would Favor Retaining the
Present Import Duties.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 8-While W.
E. Wells, of East Liverpool. Ohio. was
testifyng before the house ways and
means committee today, advocating the
retention of the present protective du-
ties on pottery ware, Chairman Tn
derwood gave a strong intimation to
the witness that he would favor re-
tanning the present duties on that ware.
The duty is 90 per cent and the intima-
ton came as a surprise to the business
men present.
'The competitive principle will gov
ern our revision of the tariff" said I'm
derwood. and l think Mr.. Wells has
proved to the satisfaction of the com
mittee that his business is being con-
Quoted along highly competitive lines
and would seem to be entitled to rates
which he asked passed.
Small Profits Made.
Wells said that his industry paid
higher wages, proportionately. than any
other industry in the United States and
that the books of his pottery concern in
Ohio would show its profits were only
62-3 per cent per year on the actual
money invested. He invited the COM
mittee to investigate the entire indus
try to determine the labor conditions in
it and the amount of money invested.
Montague Lesser Of New York, told
the committee on behalf of the import
ers of gypsum. that there should be a
reduction in duties on that product.
John Richardson. of Boston, an i'm
porter of china, glass and clay. also
asked for a reduction Of duties.
Charles p. Storrs of Oswego, n. Y. a
manufacturer of mica products, asked
for reduction of duties on that mate
rial The present duty is now "a or 80
per cent and Storrs suggested reduc-
tion to specific rate Of Scents a pound
or 10 per cent ad valorem
Two thirds of Cost Wages.
William Burgess of Trenton. a man
ufacturer of pottery made a plea for
the protection of American pottery in
terests. He said the industry required
more capital and more labor relatively,
than any other industry, and that &C %
per cent of the cost of production was
spent in wages There had not been 2
strike in 20 years. There was no re-
straint Of competition, and the price to
the consumer had been reduced two
thirds while the quality of the output
was improved. He therefore urged that
the industry receive all the benefits of
protective duty.
