Secretary of Treasury Prom
ises to Protect Leather
Workers in Tax Matter
CONGRESSMAN LAYTON
MAKES STATEMENT

The committee OF leather workers OF
the States OF Delaware, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey conferred with Secre-
tary OF the Treasury Houston at Wash
ington yesterday. The delegation made
protest against the action OF Great
Britain in providing a 10 per cent.
preferential tax on all goat skins from
India. with a 10 Qer cent, rebate TO all
British Colonies.
During the meeting Secretary Houston
stated that he had received no official
notice OF this tax, but that. as soon as
he did. he would endeavor to remedy
the matter by placing a countervailing
duty law In operation.
Congress has given the secretary OF
the treasury power TO impose count
ervailing duty on all imports from a
country that imposes a discriminatory
tax on exports to the United states.
John A. Grant, OF Wilmington, chair
man OF the delegation, and prominent
in the manufacture OF glazed kid, pre-
sented a statement TO Secretary lious-
ton explaining that American and
Canadian tanners were competing,
and that. under the new British export
tariff, the American manufacturers
would be unable to compete with tecir
Canadian contemporaries.
Congressman Caleb r. Layton urged
Secretary Houston TO use his power
given by Congress, to HIS ~Ace In 1913
He further stated:
"This cannot be settled by diplomacy
said DR.. Layton. "The authority given
the Secretary OF the Treasury eman-
ated from a Democratic Congress, and
in my judgment was wise measure. II
should be used. The secretary can al
once Impose the tariff and without, IN
my Judgment, running the risk OF or
ffending a friendly power. England
knows that she has the right to AFFORD
the protection the industry is seeking
for and SHE would not resent a perfectly
legal and proper use OF such power'
The delegation, which conferred with
the secretary Of the treasury consisted
OF DR.. Caleb r. Layton Congressman
from Delaware, who arranged for the
hearing and the following:
Delaware. John A. Grant, Lawrence
A. Burns, Rachael E. Castelow, Joseph
McCovern. James Sweeney. James

the estimated amount.
The work TO be done consists in ex-
tending the present south jetty from

tlon, parallel 10 the dredgad channel

the existing jetties by replacing the
stone where II has settled or fallen out,
