EFFECT OF PROTECTIVE DUTIES
JVORKS TO BE ESTABLISHED IN ENGLAND Rugby, February 23. Further important developments are to take place in the manufacture of rubber tires in this country. It is learned that both the Firestone and Pirelli Companies, who have hitherto supplied this market from their factories outside this country, are building new works here. They are preparing for a large output. There are now three firms who have taken this step, since Mr. Churchill in his last Budget included tires in the same fiscal category as motor-cars and imposed on them an import duty of 33 1-3 per cent. The third is Messrs. Goodyear, who announced last July that thev were establishing a factory at Wolverhampton, where they would employ 1000 men on tire making.—British Official Wireless.
