STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1931 CONERY ENANDS SHIE TARFF BOOST Leads Workers at Hearing by Commission on Plea for 50 Pct. Duty. By the Associated Press. Representative Oommery, Democrat, | Massachusetts, today urged the Tariff | Commission to recommend a 50 per | cent increase in the present duty of | 120 per cent ad valorem on boots and { shoes. Representative Connery led demands for the dncrease by workers' sion’s investigation, ordered by a res lution sponsored by Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho. ortraying unemployment and warn- ing that Massachusetts' boot and shoe industry is “threatened with extinc- tion,” Connery said a majority of Con- gress members felt during the discus- sion of the tariff that these com- modities should have received a much higher tariff than 20 per cent. They were on the free list in the 1922 act. High Duty “Lost in Shuffie.” “A large percentage of the member- shlr of the House and Senate,” he said, “felt that women's shoes particularly should obtain a high protective tariff. Had the question not been tied up with | leathey and hides, boots and shoes would have received at least a 35 per cent duty without opposition. Boots and shoes were lost in the shuffle.” The Borah resolution also requested investigation of leather and hides, but spokesmen today confined their requests to an increase on boots and shoes. M. J. Flynn of the American Protec- tive Wage Earners’ Associaticn, argued advocates of the boot and shoe tariff had “no full opportunity to state their | case,” while the tariff act was being formulated. Foreign Competition Felt. John J. Mara of Cincinnati, interna- | tional president of the Boot & Shoe Workers’ Union, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, said workers, particularly those making women's shoes, in New York, New Eng- land and Missouri, were suffering from foreign competition, especially from Czechcslovakia, where shoes can be made at a labor cost of 28 cents per pair, compared with 98 cents to $1.10 per_pair in the Unted States. “The duty amounts to 40 cents,” Mara added. “It should be evident to the commission that this does not equalize the difference in cost of production.” 'STEAMER AGR ! | OUND French Ship Bound for Algiers. i Passengers Not in Peril. | _ALGIERS, Algeria, May 26 ().

A glass was filled from a fresh bottle of Cloverdale Lith-A- Limes, the lively, sparkling drink from the Blue Ridge Mountaine. Simultaneously, glasses were filled from fresh bottles of three other na- tionally known sparkling beverages. Cloverdale Lith-A-Limes continued to sparkle 52% longer than No. 2, 48% longer than No. 3 and 12% longer than No. 4. These tests seem to bear out the Cloverdale people's assertion that Lith-A-Limes is America’s liveliest drink.
