Tariff fight shows Payne Aldrich boosts for Lipitt McColl firms
A cotton tariff report shows 47 of 95 all cotton samples pay higher duties under Payne Aldrich than Dingley, mainly for Lipitt McColl New England mills. Nine of these elevated fabrics are fancy weaves from a small group, while 38 others rise modestly. Only three cotton items drop, with silk cotton goods mostly unchanged or rising. Taft denounces the policy as favoring privilege and calls for truth about tariff effects amid industry disputes.
