BRIEF REPORT OF THE DAILY WORK OF NATION’S LAWMAKERS Washington, May 18. Claiming that the rwM'nt r of the prop1*«**1 cun* niftrial agreement lx* tween this coun try am! Canada is reciprocity and that such was the understanding of th> >*e who framvei it. Senator Root tixiay appeared before the senate finance committee and suggested an amendment to the house bill which would prevent wood pulp am! paper from coming into the country free un til it was free from all provinces of Canada. Senator Root argued that such an amendment would not prevent the agreement as a whole from becoming effective. On the other hand. John Norris. <>f New York, representing the American Newspaper Publisher-*' association, commenting on the pro po.-<ed amendment, said that its ad*q* torn would be fatal to the agreement. Senator Roots' amendment was de signed to make pulp and paper free on both sides at the same time, instead of allowing the Importation at once of free pulp ami paper from these pro vinces in Canada in which there are no restrictions regarding the exporta tion of those articles. The bill now. he asserts, contains no provision whatever for the free admission of paper and wood pulp into Canada. His amendment would mid to the wood pulp and paper provision the stipualtion that Canada may have the right to import those articles free “only when the President of the United States shall have satisfactory evidence and shall make proclamation that such admission of worn! j*ulp, paper and boards, being the product of the United States, are admitted into Canada free of duty.” lUMHM TRUST ATTACKED.
