Commerce Chamber Approves 10 Congress Budget Favors Marginal Railway
The Chamber of Commerce urged a renewed protest against a 94000 cut in the State Department's annual appropriation eliminating the Bureau of Trade Relations and related divisions. It backed an international sea safety conference and supported a marginal elevated freight railway along the waterfront to boost port improvements. The group also endorsed a chamber seal for goods to guarantee American origin and noted National Guard enlistment issues amid employer indifference.

Customs Rulings Fix Duty on Leather Writing Cases and Horsehair Hats
The Board of United States General Appraisers ruled that leather portfolios and writing cases imported by Rogers, Peet & Co. and F. B. Vandgrift & Co. are dutiable as leather chief value at 40 percent ad valorem under the 1909 Tariff Act. The decision lowers the rate from 60 percent by reliquidating entries and also addresses untrimmed horsehair hats, applying the similitude clause to classify hats as dutiable by resemblance to silk hats rather than straw hats.
