Biographical / historical:

This case was a call for amendment to the Tariff Act of 1922. Lauck represented a group of domestic manufacturers, including the Glass Containers Association of America, in putting together an argument for an increase in tariffs on imported glass bottles. It is important to note that Lauck did not represent industry in opposition to labor. The Glass Bottles Blowers Association submitted a brief agreeing with the domestic manufacturers, —but only in opposition to foreign goods making American industry and labor obsolete.
