The possibility, of the lowering of
duties upon hats manufactured 1111101111
and imported into this counirv is a
thing that practically everybody con
nscted with the hat manufacturing
industry looks upon with apprehen-
111011 and it is certain that the entire
industry will unite in 1111- effort to pre-
vcnt any change of that." kind. Views
upon thedangel of :tarlff changes
and the Effect that such changes
would have upon Ame‘rican- made hats
vary somewhat with individual who
losiw'plu'ions, but it is generally ad-
‘ mitten that any material reduction in
. import duty would open the way for .
the more extensive
importation of
Englishmade hats, against which A111
eric’lin business interests. even under
present conditions, are obliged to
wage constant warfare. ‘
When a reduction in the tariff on
hats was proposed about three years
ago the batting industry of the coun-
try took the matter up in a most ear"

Washington, to appear before the con.
