Washington June 10 Chairman Dingley of the House Ways and Means Committee issued a report on the threat to American manufactures from cheap Oriental labor and exchange differences. It notes Japan’s rapid industrialization, low wages, and potential future competition, with two remedies: ban convict labor goods and impose duties equal to cost differences.
