may be that that rate will be re
tained, but there is only one Republi
can on tht conference committee who
is directly interested in the lumber
schedule, and that man it handicapped
becausa he it a big lumberman.
Of tht aenatt conferees, not ont bat
any direct interest in the tariff on lum
ber. Aldrich, Rhode Island; Burrows,
Michigan; Penrose, Pennsylvania
Hale, Maine, and Cullom, Illinois, rep
resent ttatet that cart far mora about
cheep lumber than they do about high
protection for the American lumber
man. A few years ago Burrows might
have been aomewbat concerned, but
now hia interest it secondary. On tha
house tide, fayne. New York; Dalzell,
Pennsylvania; McCall, Massachusetts
Boutell, Illinois; Calderhead, Kansas,
and Fordney, Michigan, are tbe confer
ees, and Fordney it the only enthusias
tic advocate of a high tariff on lumber,
for be ownt fabulout quantities of
timber land and operate! a numb T of
lumber mill.
It will be the contention of the
houae member that the duty on rough
lumber must be reduced $1, the rate
fixed by the bouse in the Payne bill,
They will inaist that tbe bouse will not
stand for $1,50, and will point to the
fact that it waa only by a narrow mar
