schedules, and tomorrow will begin
J taking testimony on the important
metal items, on which more than 100
witnesses have asked to be heard.
More than a score Of witnesses pa
radcd before the committee yesterday
seeking readiustments. increases and
decreases in rates on all kinds Of plate
and window glass. AS in the hearings
on the first schedule, importers and
manufacturers were found in disagree
ment.
A proposal by J. w. Price of the
Benjamin Schottland and Vitria Co.,
Inc New York, importers of Belgian
and JugoSlavian glass. for reduction
Of approximately so per cent in exist
ing duties on various sizes of window
glass was followed by concerted effort
on the part of the manufacturers to
have the tariffs increased.
Furniture Mems Demands.
A reduction request affecting plate
glass filed by A. Solomon on behalf
of the imported plate glass consumers
and the Furniture Manufacturers Asso-
citation of Grand Rapids. Mich, preceded
another group proposal seeking higher
duties.
Mr.. Price commended that present
duties on window glass were so high as
to limit his companies market to the
Eastern seaboard area and that manu-
facturerS had raised their prices Z per
in Io 10 f1N In 70
OF an unchanged import market.
Solomon argued that improved methods
had curtailed labor costs in this coun-
try approximately SO Ia per cent. and
that the foreign glass was urgently
needed
William L. Monro, Pittsburgh, repre-
senting the Window Glass Manufac-
,turerS' Association, sought increases in
the window glass rates on the ground
that raw material and labor costs were
much higher in the United States and
because OF freight rates limiting the
market.

Glass Co. requested increases on various

cents a pound and IS per cent I'D

Queries From Garner.
Representative Garner of Texas. rank
Ing Democrat on the committee, who
cross-examines nearly every witness
seeking increases, developed from his
witness that his company paid over
100000 in stock dividends In the last
10 years. He then said he could not
understand why company making
profits permitting such dividend nav.
mentS should seek additional tariff pro-
lection, and asked Higgins to submit
to the committee the amount Of taxes
paid by the stockholders in that period
and the total In tax refunds and credits
allowed by the Government.
The witness commended that efficiency
not the tariff, had contributed to his
company's profits.
Other plate glass companies, includ-
ing that operated by Henry Ford, re.
quested increased duties, their repre-
sentatives contending that the present
tariff failed to equalize production costs
here and abroad. '''
