COTTON INTERESTS
GIVEN A HEARING
Schedule Taken Up by Tariff
Revisi0nists.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The Demo
cratic plan for cutting the tariff on
cotton manufactures, which will be
recommended to the house early in
the extra session of congress, brought
representatives of the cotton industry
to the ways and means committee
hearing.
Democratic leaders hold that cotton
bears a relation to the worlds econom-
ic progress more important than that
OF wool, silk and fax combined and
that the American people pay annual
ly about s200,0O0,O00 more for their
cotton goods by reason of the present
tariff rates.
They contend that no actual loss in
revenue will result from the proposed
legislation, which is Identical with the
cotton bills the Democrats sought to
enact in 1911 and 1912, and that the
revision would reduce the annual cost
OF cotton clothing by more than $780,
100000. The estimated duties under
the proposed revised schedule would
aggregate $10,5s9,0OO against S13,-
673. 1000 in 1910 and sI2,35s, ,Oo2 in 1911,
the latest available statistics.
Cotton affects some of the most pow.
erful Industrial interests concerned in
the tariff and most of the big organiza.
associations and small
or bodies-were ready to testify.
