TARIFF AIDS MANUFACTURERS SYDNEY, Sept,. 2(5. Mr E. C. Heath, Auckland representative of the United 'Steel Company, Limited, and William Cook and Company, Limited, wire rope manufacturers, London, who reached Sydney yesterday by the Hobsons Bay, after :t business visit to England, said that the recent imposition of tariff duties on importations of European steel had resulted in substantially increased activity in the British industry. Mass production plants put down during the war, which had been rendered almost idle by foreign competition, were now able to compete with the cheap European ’product, and were steadily in - creasing their outputs. Eleterie welding, continued .Mr lleaih, was coming into use in England, replacing the riveting system in the erection of ferro-concrete buildings. Building regulations in England were so stringent and those who made them so averse from recognising modern progress too quickly that wider use of the new method might be expected in Australia. and New Zealand than ai England.
