TO LABOR FOR FREE HIDES

Business Men from the Central West Arrive in Washington. Washington, April 30.—A committee of business men from Milwaukee and Chicago and other cities of the central west reached Washington and during the next few days will have conferences with senate leaders in advocacy of free hides. The delegation represents independent tanning, leather and shoe interests which contend that a duty on hides would mean advanced prices in leather goods of all kinds.
