Protection for the Button Industry Stirs Congress
Washington August 28 Senator Cumming urged an amendment to the farm bill to grant Muscatine button manufacturers stronger protection than the Democratic proposal. The measure keeps ad valorem duties with 50 percent on buttons under 36 lines and 35 percent on larger items, though the House-passed version had 40 percent. Senator Hughes claimed Japanese firms cannot undersell American goods under current rates, while advocates note changes came through the Senate Finance Committee with Underwood’s influence. The House conference is likely to accept the current button provision, opposing further revisions.
