Victory for Birds as Senate Protects Plumage Trade
After a prolonged struggle with the feather trade, the Senate voted to restore the bird protection clause in the tariff bill. The new measure bans wild birds plumage imports for commercial use and abolishes the trade in skins and feathers in the United States and possessions.
