Page Hersey Tubes, Limited, whose; plants are located at Welland andj ! Guelph, but who bring their raw' j î materials from the United States ! ; at a cost equivalent, to sixty-two j jper cent of the price of he finish-j ;cd products.The chairman again ! impressed upon Canadian manufac-1 j Hirers the importance of building up Canadian industry.Asked for Explanation \u201cHere,\u201d said he, \u201cwe have an item, I of $6,000,000 for the importation of jskelp.I would like some one to tell i ! me,why we should go on importing: six million dollars worth of iron : and steel skelp from the United ; j States or any other country.\u201d \u201cI asked myself the seme question many years ago,\u201d replied W.i W.Near, president and managing director of Page Hersey Tubes, : Limited.\u201cWe thought of erecting a i skelp mill in Ontario, and we went so far as to get an option on a piece j ! of land on Lake Erie (presumably! j near Welland), but the war came I along and the project was abandon-ed.There is not a sufficient demand : for skelp in this country to make 1 , its production economically possi-I Me.It would require three different kinds of mills.Our figures at , that, time showed that an expendi-jture of eight to ten millions would be necessary.Unless these mills, could be continuously employed it would be foolish to erect them.You would require to roll about 20,090 tons of skelp a month or such mills would be idle.\u201d \u201cYou think imports would bo helpful then?\u201d queried the chairman.\u201cIf Canadian capitalists put up modern skelp mills we would be glad to buy from them, but I know precious well they would not pay,\u201d said Mr.Near.E.G.Long, K.C., for the National Trust Company and the Dominion Iron and Steel Company, sa:d they would try to make skelp it a.provisional tariff were imposed, effective only when skelp was produced in Canada in commercial quantities.Canada Has Control Mr.Near thought that before an item was inserted in the customs tariff, there should be someone capable of producing the article it referred to in Canada.He stated they obtained the raw material from, the United States cheaper than the same material was sold for in the United States for domestic use.In other words, skelp is dumped in Canada.Skelp is available from Belgium, but it is not as good as United States skelp.What Belgium supplies is basic bessemer.There are several kinds of skelp; bessemer steel skelp, puddled iron skelp, wrought iron skelp and copper bearing skelp.Mr.Near admitted in cross-examination that mrch of the skelp they import at Welland and Guelph comes from their own plant in the United States.Messrs.Dcachman and Darby suspected tha Canadian Page-Hersey Tubes Company was a subsidiary of an mer-ican concern, but it turned out that the United Stales company is a.Subsidiary of the Canadian company, two-thirds of the stock being owned by Canadians.Mr.Near said the d.'.y on pipa varies from 15 per cent under th?British preference to 30 per cent under the general tariff, while Ih 1 duty on raw material (skelp) is ù per cent.D1A PAUL TWO SHERBROOKL DAILY KL(JUKD.WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1929.St.Francis District News RICHMOND Dr.Tomkins will be at Dr.Man-ing\u2019G oi'fice, Richmond, Dee.Tth DUDSWELL .and Mrs.A.P.Joyce were at i.\\Y.Andrews on November 12.Stanley Bell was a gnest of B.A.Gilben on November 13.\u2022 and Mrs.R.D.Bishop and er Vincent BVhop and Mr.E.Iowa were in ilarbietcn on Nov.P.D.Bishop and Mrs.A.M.iy were guests of Miss Ada 11 on November 2!st.Roy Rolfe was r ailing in this 1 cn November 2Cth.Alvin Sutcliffe, of Sher-Ke, 'Ir.E.A.Rowe, Mrs.R.D.y and Master Vincent Bishop dinner gue=ts at A.L.Covell '.and Mr.-.Stanley Bell enter-d at a chicken dinner on Nov, the following guests Mr.E.A.Mrs.J.V:;, Mr.Percy Hall and Mrs.Gillis Hall, Mr.A.L.Coveil and Miss Ada Covell.A beautiful dinner was served.The evening was pleasantly spent in games, \u201c5C0\u201d and radio music.Mr.and Mrs.Gillis Hall and Mr.and Mrs.Percy Hall were guests of Mr.and Mrs.Smedley Willard, East Angus, on November 24th.Mr.and Mrs.W.A.Covell, of East Angus, and Mrs.Stanley Bell were supper guests at Mr.A.L.Coveil on November 14th.Mr.E.A.Rowe and family and Miss Ada Covell were in East Angus on November 28th.Mr.A.L.Covell and Miss Ada Covell were dinner guests of Mr.and Mrs.W.A.Covell at East Angus on November 24th.Mr.W.J.Tewksbury, of East Angus, is working at Mr.A.L.Covell\u2019s.Miss Ada Covell was a guest of Mrs.A.P.Joyce cn Sunday, November 1st.Mr.A.L.Covell was a dinner guest of Mr.and Mrs.A.Sutcliffe on Sunday, December 1st.Statuas!)
