VIEWS OF SILK MEN
 GIVEN TARIFF TRAINERS

Washington, Dec. Is. Conflicting views as to the effect of the silk imv ports on the American industry were pre- scented today to senate tariff framers, Horace E. Cheney, of New York city, representing the Silk Association of America, said the industry was seriously menaced while Samuel kridel. of New York city, representing other manufac- turers as well as traders and importers testified that since the imports consti- tuted only six per cent. of consumption they could have little effect and and on the whole would be beneficial by sim ulating American manufacturers.
 Hearings on the silk schedule vir- tually were closed and it's was announced that all hearings on the Fordney bill would be closed on January 3. The re- writing of the measure then will be start ed with a view to it's presentation to the senate as speedily as practicable probably in February.
