 After obtaining the desired addi- tional information on the views of organized producers, the committee men have decided to support the house action in placing a duty of 10 per cent on imported hides and 20 per cent on shoes, both of which are now admitted without imposts.
 They agreed, however, on num- Der of changes in the house rates on various types of leather, also on the free list at present, raising some and reducing others. The upward revi- sons included proposals to place rate of 14 per cent on leather to be used for harness or saddlery. and Is per cent on sole and belting leather, instead of 12k per cent as voted by the house, together with 171a in stead of IS per cent on side. upper. patent and calf or kip skin feathers for footwear
 The house rate of 25 per cent on leather obtained from animals not of the bovine species, on the other hand, would be reduced to 1712 per cent, and that of 30 per cent on or namental leather to 20 per cent. Another reduction was voted on mems teacher gloves, making the rate S55O a dozen instead s6.50. The s5.50 rate approved by the house on women's leather gloves was retained, and so was it's 20 per cent rate on leather for upholstery. col lars, bags, cases, gloves, garments and straps.
