per cent on plain cotton corsets
or nearly twice the present wage
cost of 17.3 per cent. The Fair

Inmates that the proposed dirty would

the government collected only $l0.-
600 on corsets only $4,000 IN 1929.
and in 1921 only $4,000.
The Fair Tariff League, which
has made a special study Of this
hill. says that the proposed duty
will shut out imports and compel
women to buy from domestic manu-
facturers at any prices they dare
charge. A domestic manufacturer
who is prosperous says ITS an out

We make eorsets cheaper and bet

In 1920 the exports on corsets were
$50 times the imports.
The ga per cent tax on these cor
sets is shown to be wholly unjust
by the fact that wages in the corset
industry are only 173 per cent.
The Fair Tariff Leagne says that

have not known and have not voted.
