THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1909. SENATE UPHOLDS DUTIES ON IRON Rejects Amendment of Pro gressives for Reduction on Trust Product. BLAST AT TOBACCO TRUST Beverldge Exposes Manner in Which It Collects Spanish War Tax After Repeal Root and lia Follette Wrangle. WASHINGTON", May 14. Atcaln the committee on finance wsa upheld when the Senate today by a vote of 35 to 42 voted down an amendment by Cummins to lower the duty on round iron and up held the House rate, which was recom mended by the Senate committee. Al most the entire day was gi-en up to a debate on the profits of the- United States Steel Corporation and toward the end personalities were exchanged. Bev eridire proposed an amendment increas ing the duty on tobacco and its .products and charged that by continuing the short weight packages of the Spanish War period the tobacco trust was reaping a harvest of $21,000,000 a year. Tobacco Trust Keeps Tax. Contending that the Government has lost $184,000,000 in the last eight years through the repeal of the war-time tax of 1898. Beverldge undertook by an amendment to increase the present rate of internal taxes on tobacco, snuff, cig arettes and cigars more than 10 cents. Beverldge declared that the tobacco trust, which, he said, was the American Tobacco Company, had derived great benefit from the loss of revenue since 1898. The law provrldlng for the "rates of 1898" permitted the manufacturer to reduce the size of the packages in which the tobacco is sold to the people. "In 1901 this increased tobacco tax was removed." said he. "but the short-weight packages of tobacco were continued by the very law that removed the tax. The manufacturer still collects the wartime tax from the people, but. Instead of pay ing it to the Government, he keeps It for himself." Beverldge said the continuation of the short-weight wartime packages had in ' like fashion helped the plug tobacco business. Cummins Attacks Iron Iuty. TTpon taking up the Iron and steel sec tions of the bill. Aldrlch asked that the Senate pasa over the paragraph relating to pljr-lron. as the committee on finance wished to consider an amendment affect ing the duty on oast scrap Iron. An extended discussion took place on an amendment offered by Cummins re ducing the duty on round iron from 6-10 to 6-10 of 1 cent a pound' and on iron In slabs, etc., from 4-10 to 3-10 of 1 cent a pound. Aldrlch objected that these du ties as reported to the Senate were lower than current duties in the DIngley bill. Cummins Insisted that the iron and steel Industry needed no protection. La Kollette declarde he had "not a dollar" In the steel and iron business. "Neither have 1." responded Oliver. "I am glad to hear it," said La Fol lette. Root and. Ia Kollette- Spar. Ia Follette complained that he had difficulty In obtaining information from the committee on finance. This brought from Root a retort that the committee In reporting a House bill was under no obligation to furnish information except on those . paragraphs on which It pro posed amendments. Root said Senators would do well tot confine themselves to clear cut. short statements and to "re frain from declamation and from general llscusslon for the purpose of strengthen ing gentlemen in their own home states." I.a Follette made a sarcastic reply. The Cummins amendments reducing the duty on round iron and slabs 1-10 of 1 cent a pound was then voted on and defeated on a roll call. 35 to 42. Mc Knery of Louisiana, Democrat, voted with the Repubdlicans against the amendments and Beverldge. Borah. Brlstow. Brown. Burkett. Clapp. Craw ford. Cummins. Dolllver, La Follette and Nelson with the Democrats for it. Seeking free trade on all farming Im plements and tools used by carpenters and blacksmiths. McLaurin offered an amendment exempting from duty articles made of iron and steel, such as trace chains, hammers, screws and door hinges. The amendment was defeated 22 to 52. Calls for Vote on Income Tax. "1 see that the Republican party Is now re-united." said Bailey, when the vote waa announced, "and I ask unani mous consent that on Monday next a vote may be taken on the income tax amendment." Nelson of Minnesota objected to Bailey's request, saying he opposed an income tax In the tariff bill unless It were necessary for revenue purposes. Asking that an interview with J. J. Hill be read Scott Indorsed Its advice to Congress that oratory be suspended and that Congress promptly pass the bill. "This." Scott said, "is in line with let ters I am dally receiving, begging and praying that these gentlemen (waving his hand over the Senate chamber) get through with their wlndjammlng and let the country go ahead with its business."

Children especlallv were exposed to infection because of their irresttble impulse to place every thing in tneir moutns. He pointed out the enormous danger to children in the homo of the tuberculosis adult. Dust from a room Inhabited by consumptive, they declared, had been found virulent for six weeks. Towels, they said, were a fertile source of infec tion. That tuberculosis occurred more fre quently in artificially fed infants waa another view expressed by them. They maintained, however .that this was not necessarily an indication that the infec tion was always of the bovine type, and contracted from the use of milk from tuberculosis cows. They declared bottle fed . babies had a greatly lessened re sistance to any infection. - Campaign for Children. A campaign against tuberculosis could only be waged with success, they in sisted, if its occurrence could be pre vented during childhood. Doctors Shaw and Laird urged the association as such, and Individually, to bend every effort to arrest and prevent the spread of tuber culosis in children. A resolution was adopted pledging the association's support to a proposition for the centralization of the Government's health activities.

Coeur d'Alene in Idaho and the Colville in 'Washington. The Flat head Reservation contains about 1,200, 000 acres, the Coeur d'Alene about 400, 000, ann,, the Colville about 400,000. All three reservations will be ready for opening this Summer, and all three of them will be opened at the same time. Registration points will only be estab lished at towns where there Is a United States Land Office, and all registration points will be for all three of the reservations. The registration points will be Missoula, Kallspell, Coeur d'Alene City and Spokane. The registration period will prob ably begin July 10 and end on August 15, thus giving five weeks' opportunity for all persons to go to one of the places above designated to register. At the close of registration, August 15, the drawing for numbers will take place for all three of the reservations at Coeur d'Alene City. The drawing Is an unimportant Item in the general plan and will occupy only one or two days. While the settlers will not be com pelled to make actual entry on the lands before next Spring, the lucky persons will be notified late in August or early in September.

FRENCH STRIKERS USE FIERY WORDS Only Fraction of Postal Em ployes Quit and Fail ure Impends. AID FROM OTHER TRADES Leaders of T7nions Pledge Support, but Are Suspected of Bluffing. Many Strikers , Resume Work and Collapse Is Near. PARIS, May 14. The striking postal employes adopted resolutions at a meet ing today appealing to the workmen's organization to make common cause with them. The meeting was attended by rep resentatives cf the workmen, who de livered inflammatory speeches, promised the postal employes immediate support and threatened, if necessary, to place themselves, under the direction of the revolutionary General Federation of La bor. These threats produced a big scare, but there is strong suspicion here that the leaders of the movement are bluffing. Will Not Be Agitators' Tools. The strike of the postmen itself appar ently has lost ground. The rank and file of the men seemingly are convinced that the agitators are acting for their per sonal end and as the tools of the revo lutionary proletariat organizations, and they hesitate to risk losing their perma nent situations and pensions. At Chartlers and Dijon today the strikers, in view of the attitude taken by Parliament, voted to return to work. Few Strike, Many Threats. The government officials say the move ment is collapsing and point out that only 48.000 of the 300.000 railway men. whose support was pledged the strikers today by M. Guerard, belong to 'the union, and that these members are most ly trackmen and artisans employed In the shops. It Is reported tonight that the strikers are cutting wires. This afternoon's meeting was attended by 6000 strikers and delegates from va rious sections. The strike leaders charged that the military precautions taken by the government proved that it was intended to "drown the strike move ment In blood." .They favored a direct appeal to the workmen's -unions for co operation and amid great enthusiasm the strikers voted unanimously for an al liance with the workmen, "with all its consequences." It was declared that the moment had arrived for a solid revolutionary move ment under the direction of the General Federation of Labor. Battle to Death Proposed. The resolutions pledge that the postal employes and the workmen's organiza tion would unite for a battle to the death, "in order to obtain liberty of thought and speech and the right for all employes of the state to form a syndi cate." The railroad and the gas men met to night, but neither appeared disposed " to give immediate effect to the promises made by their leaders this afternoon. The railroad employes postponed their de cision on the question until a meetipg next Monday. INCENDIARIES AT RAWHIDE Buildings Drenched With Kerosene, hut Firemen .Conquer Blaze.

MAY FILL HIGH OFFICES Redmond Gains Victory With Aid oi Asquith Oath of Accession Is Changed Monastic. Orders May Own Property. LONDON, May 14. A comprehensive bill for the removal of Roman Catholic disabilities and providing for an altera tion in the oath of accession taken by the British sovereign was introduced by William Redmond in the House of Com mons today and passed its second reading by a vote of 133 to 123, but there is little prospect of its becoming a law at the present session. The fact that a majority of the House voted in favor of the measure, however, is regarded as a great victory for the Catholics. The Roman Catholics never have ceased to Inveigh against the "insulting references" to certain beliefs in the monarch's accession declaration as "su perstitious." The same opposition that hitherto had defeated any effort to alter the oath again showed up today when a petition signed by 400,000 persons against the removal of Roman Catholic disabil ities was handed in Just before Mr. Red mond rose. Mr. Redmond's bill not only removes what Is regarded as the objec tionable portion of the oath of acces sion, but it repeals the acts prohibiting residence and the acquisition of property by the Jesuits and other monastic orders, and abolishes the disqualification wnlch prevents Catholics from filling the of fices of Lord Chancellor of Great Britain and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Premier Asquith gave his cordial sup port to the -bill. He declared that the ex clusion of Roman Catholics from the Lord Chancellorship and the Lord Lieu tenancy was quite unjustifiable, on the grounds of logic or policy.
