The Board of General Appraisers has reaffirmed
ihe right of an importer to make a great number,
of claims for lower duty in a single protest. The
case before the board was that of A. Stein & Co.,
Chicago, who protested the Collector's assessment
of elastic webbing. The Custom House authorities
exacted duty at 00 per cent, on the ground that the
merchandise was composed in chief value of arti-
ficial silk. When it came to trying the issue the
Governnunt counsel asked the board to dismiss the
protest owing to the "multifarious" claims made by
the importers. Judge Howell declined to take this
action, the General Appraiser holding that the va-
rious claims were not so inconsistent and unreason-
able as to be misleading. The importers' chief claim
was for entry at 25 per cent, ad valorem as band-
ings, bindings, or other articles composed of cotton
or other vegetable fiber. This claim, as well as the
other alternative claims, were overruled.
