John F. Tobin, President of the Book and Shoe Workers Union, and other leaders of the union, discuss the proposal to eliminate the duty on hides, from which shoes are made. Tobin argues that removing the tariff would reduce the cost of leather, allowing manufacturers greater margin to raise employees’ wages, to keep pace with the cost of living. Others support the removal of the duty on leather but not on finished shoes and boots.
