THE SHAW PIANO CO., ERIK, PA.
In the United States Circuit Cou^t for the
southern district of New York, an important
decision was handed down last week which
has an important bearing on the importation
of piano hammers. The case was that of the
United States vs. Hammacher, Schlemmer &
Co. of this city, and the decision was adverse
to the Government.
The matter in dispute was merchandise,
consisting of piano hammers, composed of
wool, felt and wood which were assessed for
duty by the appraiser at New York as manu-
factures of wool and wood—wool being chief
value—at the rate of forty-four cents per
'pound and fifty per cent, ad valorem un-
der the provisions of paragraph 366 of the
tariff act of July 24th, 1897.
This classification was protested against
by the importers, who maintained the impor-
tations to be "pianoforte actions or parts
thereof," and properly dutiable at forty-five
per cent, ad valorem under paragraph 453 of
the same act.
This claim was sustained by the U. S. Cir-
cuit Court and the Treasury Department has
decided not to appeal. The duties exacted
in excess will be at once refunded to Ham-
macher, Schlemmer & Co.
REDUCED~RATES FROM THE WEST.
Will Extend Over a Good Part of the Fall Buy-
ing Season.
The Merchants' Association has received
informatipn that the Central Passenger As-
sociation, which has the jurisdiction over the
roads west of Buffalo and Pittsburgh as far
west as the Mississippi River, including the
cities of Chicago and St. Louis, has granted
the reduced rates for what is known as the
fall buying season.
The dates on which the reduced rate tick-
ets will be sold from the Central West are
Aug. 3d to 7th inclusive, and Aug. 24th to
28th inclusive, with a return limit of thirty
days from date of sale, the rate of fare be-
ing one fare and one-third for the round
trip.
The Trunk Line Association, which has
jurisdiction over the lines east of Buffalo
and Pittsburg to the New England boundary
line, had already granted the rates from its
territory, so that these reduced rates will
be in effect from all the territory extending
from the New England boundary line to the
Mississippi River and as far south as the
line of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers.
An application for reduced rates has al-
ready been made to the Southwestern Pas-
senger Bureau, which has jurisdiction over
the lines operating in Texas, Indian Terri-
tory and Oklohoma.
THE STEINWAY PICNIC.
The tenth annual picnic and summer night's
festival of the employees of Steinway & Sons
for the benefit of their relief fund occurred
last Saturday afternoon and evening at North
Beach, L. I. There was a big crowd of
piano makers present.
A band instrument factory has been opened
at 29 Canal street, Grand Rapids, Mich., by
Geo. B. Newell and Frank Millard, two
prominent musicians of that city.
