LEATHER INDUSTRY
EFFORT TO REDUCE WASTAGE. (Australia'.! Press Association.) • (Received this day at 10.15 a.m.) . SYDNEY, November 18. Within the past ten years the wastage in hides has been due chiefly to careless branding, slaughtermen’s knives, and barbed wire, at a cost to the Australian leather industry of £8,000,000. Master tanners are appealing to cattlemen to brand on the shoulder letters not more than three inches in length, and declare that the great damage done through unsatisfactory branding and flaying, often amounted to 10/- per skin.
