Glass tariff fight and Mellon monopoly under fire
Editorial blasts the push for a fifty percent glass tariff led by Senator Reed in support of the Mellon interests. It cites monopolistic practices by Pittsburgh Plate Glass, boycotts against Grand Rapids furniture makers, and argues tariffs harm consumers while labor costs drop with new machinery. It notes a broad anti-Mellon stance in tariff hearings and recalls other Republican scandals and convictions. It also includes a long asparagus cooking column for home readers.
