FOR PACIFIC COAST
Western Lumbermen May
Get Chance to Bid on Sup
plies for Panama Canal.
(Special rtJspateb te Tne Journal)
Washington, March 10. Senator Ful
ton's effort to afford an opportunity
for Pacific coast producers to bid on
Panama canal supplies will bs decided
tomorrow.
The senate yesterday discussed ut
length Senator Fryes joint resolution
providing for the carrying of materials
for the Panama canal In American bot
toms only. FTye advocated tba adop
tion of the resolution, saying that at
least' 1.000.000 barrels of cement would
be required v4n the work, and thst so
long as foreign . vessels were permitted
to compete, it would be impossible for
the domestlo ships to participate In the
transportation because of the differ.
ence both in construction and opera
tion. He said that in both these re
spects British built ships had an ad
vantage or at least one third.
An amendment by Foster of Vir
ginia providing that the restriction
should not apply to the gulf ports or
any part of the United States from
which vessels of the United States
could not be secured for the trade was
accepted by Frye
Fulton of Oregon and Bacon of
Georgia sought to have the amend
ment extended to the- north Pacific and
southern Atlantic coasts respectively,
but were unsuccessful. -
Fulton contended that the proposed
legislation wouia nrscticaiiv Dar turn
bermen and other Pacific coast pro
ducers from xuroisning ins canal witn
supplies, and offered an amendment
excepting Pacific coast porta from the
