Leather Industry in Brazil

The manufacturing industries in
which leather is used are we'll devel-
oped in Sac Paulo, Brazil, there being.
according to report from Consul
Charles L. Hoover, sixty-eight shoe
factories in the state, of which sew
enteen are large and we'll equipped.
Two manufactures OF leather belt
ing, two cloth factories, seven trav-
elng-bag factories and number
OF furniture factories which turn
out leather-covered furniture and
a harness and saddlerv factory are also
IN operation in the state. There are
twelve tanneries, but only four of these
are of any Importance. These tanneries
produce heavy feathers of good quality
and one factory produces glazed glove
and shoe leather from sheep hides
The factories work up about 25 per
cent of the hides produced in Sac
Paulo, and for their encouragement the
state levles a tax OF about SO cents
on each hide imported. One of thc
leading tanners in that territory pro-
duces betting leather, sole leather and
a certain amount of fine calf leather
a considerable amount of American
,eather of finer quality is imported to
be used in the manufacture of shoes
and for upholstery.

he asserted. chat without the aid Of
tariff of 100 per cent the American
product will be so greatly undersold as
to force our manufacturers out of bust
ness. Their only alternative would be
to move their operations to Japan, and
that, of course, practically is not pos
sible.
"The cost of production in this
country is so high, due to the tre-
mendous increase in wages, that the
American producer simply cannot COM
pete with Japan.
"Not only does he require tariff
protection against that source, but the
European industry, when it has re-
covered from the effects of the
war--and it will recover in time-will
become serious competition unless
tariffs are given US. We should have a
tariff of 60 per cent at least against
European imports. The 40 per cent tax
now imposed on Swiss silk goods is not
sufficient as proper protection. Our
competitors from Europe are greatest
from Italy, followed in sequence by
France, Germany and Switzerland
american manufacturers now are
enjoying an extensive export business,
but Japan has her eyes on those mar
kets and will make a strenuous effort
to get it. With their comparatively
cheap labor the advantage lies with
thcm.'

Urges High Tariff to
Protect Il. S. Silk Trade
DIR. Schwarzman Says that Japan Will Soon Undersell
American Manufacturers Unless 100 Per Cent
Duty Is Imposed ON Imports

American silk manufacturers ulti.
mately will be forced to suspend opera
tions in this country unless a tariff of
100 per cent is imposed on importa-
tions of the manufactured product
from Japan, in the opinion of DR.. J. A.
Schwarzman, of Schwarzenbach. Huber
4 Co., one of the largest silk firms in
the United States. DR.. Schwarzman,
who is recognized authority on bust
ness conditions as they affect the silk
industry, has recently returned from
Switzerland, where he made an exten-
sive study of the European silk situa-
ton
Wages in that country. he stated,
have increased in greater proportion
than those Of the United States. Mill
operatives in the Swiss industry are
receiving 100 per cent more wages than
formerly, as compared with an approx
mate rs per cent increase in this coun-
try. Advances in production costs have
greatly increased in France and Ger
many, Dr. Schwarzman said, although
not in such proportions.
These conditions, he claimed, are
ideal to extension of the Japanese in
dustry, where, DR.. Schwarzman pointed
out, wages have not been so materially
raised.
Japanese manufactured silk will in
a comparative short time be placed on
the American market at such prices"

Railways Operated at q
Loss bv English Government

Instead Of the reported profits for
the English government I'M the opera
ton Of railways from the opening OF
the war down to the end Of 1913, there
was ~ ac .ual net loss OF about S1l9,-
O0O,0 600. it is declared BY the National
Bank of Commerce in New orh, in
the September issue of Commerce
Monthly" For the present year it is
estimated that the charge on the pub
lie for government operation VIII run
TO about $4,000 600. The bank says:
During what may be termed the
war period OF government railway
control III tie Uni ed Kingdom last
ing from August ., 1911, to December
81, 1918, the average net annual
operating revenue Of the roads ex-
ceeded that Of 1913, in spite Of a
slight deficit in he first part of the
period ending with December, 1915.
The amount of the railways net in
come in 1918 had been granted them
as yearly guarantee by the govern
ment at the ou set of the war. These
figures, which are shown in a recen.
statement presented to the British
Parliament, do not, however, include
eX. .ra wear and tear arising from
additional traffic carried, which is
estimated at $200,000,O0 and for
which the government sill remains
i''olS W 0it SOllit'u.iltS+ iiS Il result
Of this liability, i. is estimated that
during the period considered the
government, although making an APP
parent profit of $Sl ,000, GOO from run
ming the railways, actually sustained
a net loss of some Sll9,00O00O.
The year 1918 marked the end of
a balance of revenue, large deficit
being unavoidable in the 1919 opera
ton OF the railways. This years
revenue is estimated at $725 900 900,
the decrease from last year being due
to a large falling off in government
traffic. Expend ures are estimated at
the unprecedented figure Of 1881 ,OOO,-
600, because of increased cost Of labor
and materials. The resulting deficit
is S156,000000. In addition t meet
ing this deficit the public treasury
must pay the railways their annual
guaranteed revenue. As result the
charge on the public for government
operation of the railways during he
current year will be about S370OOO,-

Prices for Lower
Grade Wheat Named
United States Grain Corpora.
ton Fixes Prices for
Poor Quality

I. complete scale of discounts for
lower grades of whea. was issued last
night to the 10000 licensees buying

that a large percentage OF the crop
has deteriorated by reason OF adverse
weather during the growing season.
The discounts, according TO state
ment made b. the corporation, are
calculated to give producer the bene.
fit Of every doubt as TO The relative
