M'CUMBfR LOSES LUMBER FIGHT

Washingto June 24.-Middle vest
ern agitation for reduction in the
lumber tariff made a final feeble
splash in the senate yesterday and
then gave up the ghost when the fin
ance committees schedule on lumber
was adopted by vote of SO to 20.
The first vote today was on an
amendments by Senator McCumber
proposing rate Of 81 per 1000 on
sawed lumber instead of the rate de-
ccided upon by the finance committee,
which was $3.50 per 1000. The COM
mittee was sustained-44 to "a.
OF the affirmative votes, ten only
were cast by Democrats-Bankhea
Clay, Davis, Gore, Hughes, Johnston,
McLaurin, Overman, Paynter and Till
man. Republicans who voted in
support of the amendment were Bever-
idge, Bristow, Brown, Burkett, Burton,
Carter, Clapp, Crawford, Cummings
Curtis, Gamble, La Toilette, McCumber
and Nelson. The Democrats voting
against the amendment were Bacon,
Bailey, Chamberlain, Fletcher, Foster,
Martin, Money, Simmons, Smith, of
Maryland, Taliaferro and Taylor.
Finished Lumber Also.
Senator McCumber followed his de-
feat on the rough lumber matter by
offering an amendment, the effect Of
which was to lower the duty on the
various grades of finished lumber.
He said he was trying in his
amendment to make the differentials
bear as near relation to the finished
product as possible. The differentials
proposed in his amendment, he said,
would still be SO per cent higher than
the actual cost, and therefore would
provide ample protection, at the same
time affording some relief to the con-
sumers.
