Tariff Protection for Lead Mines of Idano
Jerome J. Day urged higher lead tariffs before Ways and Means, detailing U S and Idaho output, wages, and costs. He cited 1920 U S lead production of 474000 tons with Idaho yielding 121000 tons, about one sixth of world supply, and argued wages ranged from 5.25 to 7 dollars daily, eight hour shifts, in a high cost district. He warned postwar cost reductions would be slow due to depleted ore reserves and government-controlled rail freight impacts.
