Tariff Bill Slashes Wood Pulp Paper and Metal Rates
The new tariff bill cuts wood pulp and print paper prices, slashes rough lumber to 1.25 per thousand and reduces iron ore, pig iron, and scrap iron rates. It preserves cotton duties with broad changes, raises hosiery and some laces, retains petroleum free of duty, and expands the corporation tax while authorizing Panama canal bonds. It also frees hides and shifts leather and boots duties, with numerous adjustments across schedules.
