600 a year would be imposed upon
the American public by enactment
of the Fordney tariff bill, H. E.
Miles, of Racine. Wis, president Of

brief which was filed Thursday in
the record of the tariff hearings. Mr.
Miles said the league covered 1900

SO-CalIed Protection.
In the % industries annually Sc

was S2.663, 100000, which increased
as it passed through the hands of

cost the consumers $4,471, 900. The
