REVISED AUSTRALIAN TARIFF
EFFECT ON BRITISH INDUSTRY ANNIHILATION OF HOSIERY \ TRADE (Rec. November 25, 7 p.m.) London, November 24. Midland hosiery firms complain that Australian importers are cancelling orders for tens of thousands of pairs of stockings, in consequence of the revised Federal tariff. Mr. J. H. Cooper, former chairman of the Hosiery Federation, declared that the last revision of the Australian tariff annihilated the underwear trade. The new duties, which were even more ferocious, would annihilate the hosiery trade.
Mr. Gregory Meakin, Secretary of the Nottingham Chamber of Commerce, said he was urgently advising members not to accept Australian cancellations of orders. The goods in many cases are already made and must be paid for.
