Change IN
TARIFF AIDS
GLAZED KID
tcOntinued from first page)


dustry which in normal times in
Wilmington employs between 5000
and 5000 persons, but it has been
amended out.
An amendment to the schedule
that will place skins that enter into
glazed kid on the free list was urged
by Congressman Caleb r. Layton, of
Delaware. He not only made a
speech on the subject in the House,
but conferred with Chairman Ford
ney, OF the Ways and Means Com
mittee, and obtained his consent to
an amendment to allow skins to
enter this country duty free.
Most Of the Wilmington leather
manufacturers and the leather work
ers' union wired to Senator Ball
and Congressman Layton, early this
week protesting against the Is per
cent. duty on hides and skins that
| had been included in the tariff bill.
and asking them to have such raw
materials placed on the free list to
enable Wilmington's leather plants
to thrive again. The Wilmington
manufacturers pointed out that near
" all the raw skins from which
glazed kid is made come from for
eign countries.
AS the tariff bill then was before
the House. and Congressman Layton
/ lost no time. Chairman Fordney OF
the ways and means committee after
"a conference with Congressman
Layton an hour before the first vote
was taken agreed TO an amendment
which would assure Wilmingtons
important industry supplies Of raw
material at relatively reasonable
prices.
Speaking in behalf OF duty-free
imports of skins, Congressman Lay.
ton in the House said in part:

5C0nrOrmaDle TO taWsgSS;sSssss3Ss,.Sie5'1.}, !;
isSS ! Associate Justice &c othTan wrote
the opinion and the; entire court CON
Cured, the new trial being granted
on the grounds that Gossett was not
given a fair trial by the special
court. Justice Cothran severely crit
icises the statute under which SIZE
cial courts are called, and cites q
number of incidents to show that an
accused has no showing under She
present policy of special courts.
The court also severely criticises
the. spirit Of mobs, and says that
where trials are held under condi-
tions similar to those obtaining at
the Gossett case, it Is a judicial
lynching." The Abbeville court was
called to try the Gossetts alone.
The opinion affects number of
other special courts held recently,
and virtually says that these courts
could not give a defendant a fair
trial. Several trials by special courts,
1t is recalled, have resulted in cleo
trocutions, and 'rPing" Griffin Is now
; in the penitentiary under death SEN
tence by a verdict OF jury called
together especially to try him, and
the circumstances are a good deal
similar to the Gossett case. No ap-
peal has been taken in the Griffin
case, and "Feetie" ,Fogle has already
been electrocuted by a special court
verdict.
Speaks OF Mob Violence.
Speaking Of mob violence and the
effect on the public mind in trials
like Gossett's. and the section under
which the court was called, Justice
Cothran says: 1--WE are convinced
that the procedure provided for in
this section is a bald concession to
the spirit OF mob law, and presents
the spectacle OF the law, strong and
mighty, bowing to the despotism oG
the mob, which has been declared To
be greater than the tyranny OF a
despot. 1t provides a miserable COM
promise with lynch law, enabling the
law 10 bargain with the mob to stay
its hand and allow the court, under
the form Of law. to accomplish what
is equally reprehensible--a judicial
lynching.
"It is notorious that such bargain
ings have been made. The angry
mob has been appeased by the prom
ise Of quick special court to try
the offender under circumstances that
render his conviction inevitable.
"There can be no compromise with
the spirit Of lynching for any crime.
Those who compose such a mob are
themselves without the pale Of law
and commit a crime not only against
the victim Of their vengeance, bnt
against the majesty Of the law. They
are not entitled to recognition as
