HIGHER PROTECTION
ON COTTONS URGED

Says Lippitt.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.--Serious injury
to the cotton textile industry in New

Mr.. Lippitt brought for inspection of
the committeeman numerous samples
Of fancy goods which he displayed as
he talked and at the finish the com
mittee table looked like a bargain coun'
ter of a dry goods store during rem
nant sale. Members of the committee
expressed admiration for the handiworls
OF the American craftsmen, and Mr..
Lippitt assured them that no finer cotton
products were turned out anywhere.
Urging n 40 per cent. protection for
these goods as against the present aver
age of % per cent, Mr.. Lippitt said:
Poker chips get a 40 per cent. protec-
ton. 1 think the cotton industry is
equally entitled to that much protec-
tion.'
~ Opposing any embargo on dyes, Mr.
Lippitt and Mr.. Lowe said they believed
the dye industry should be protected,
but at the same time provision should
be made In the tariff bill to cover the
dyes in imported goods, since. they said,
the foreign manufacturers obtain their
dyes at a lower price than do the Amer
lean manufacturers. Majority members
