The Glove Graft Littauer Plans To Win
A reform era article denounces ex Representative Littauer and glove manufacturers seeking higher tariffs on women's gloves. It cites protests by 87 million consumers and argues duties would raise prices, urging voters to oppose lawmakers backing the tariff. Official wage figures contradict industry claims of high pay and 1905 glove production details are noted.

Tariff debate cited as misrepresentation in glovemaking wages
The document argues that gloves were produced by workers paid less than seven dollars weekly, contradicting claims by the Glove Manufacturers Association and Mr Littauer about wages of fifteen to twenty four dollars. It labels the plea for higher duties as meritless and notes the discrepancy highlights misrepresentations underlying tariff laws.

Beet sugar trust controls beet factories and seeks protection
The Sugar Trust allegedly dominates beet sugar companies through parent firms, with direct or indirect ownership in at least ten groups. In 1908 beet sugar produced about 12 percent of U S consumption while the trust held sway over most production, raising fears of continued high prices if tariffs persist. A New York Sun editorial criticizes the beet sugar demand for protection as wasteful and unjustified.

Denunciation of Aldrich Plan Hides Duty Sparked by Beef Trust
A Chicago leather manufacturers meeting denounces Aldrich tariff provisions restoring a 15 percent duty on cattle hides after they had been removed in the Payne bill. They insist hides were on the free list for 78 years prior to 1897 and argue the duty protects the Beef Trust, not an infant industry. They urge the Senate finance committee to back the House stance against the tariff, warning it endangers shoe, harness, trunk, and leather industries.
