OPPOSED TO FREE LUMBER
SENATOR PILES VIGOROUS RE-
PLY TO ITS ADVOCATES.
Declares That American Mills Cam
not Compete with Canadian,
Owing to Cheap Labor.

Senator Piles of Nashingtoa made q
vigorous reply in the Senate this after
noon TO the recent speeches in that body
in favor of free lumber. Most Of his ad-
dress was devoted to discussion OF the
labor conditionsi on the Pacific coast OF
the United States. compared with tie
conditions across the line in British CO.
lumbia. He entered a positive denial
against the statement frequently made
that the mills in the United States can
produce lumber cheaply as those
across the border.
Difference in Wages.
Such n proposition he said. was con-
trary TO reason. in view 'of the fact
that the state legislatures require the
employment in The United States mills
of white labor, while across the border
Japanese Chinese and Hindos en-
ployed at low a rate as so cents

dollar. White labor in the states had 10
be paid more than twice that amount, ho
said
Mr.. Plies did not think that the willing
ness of the oriental to work for so small
wages was to his discredit. and even went
so far as to admit that his ability TO get
along so little money might be 10 his
ing. but such thing was entirely con-
trary 10 the economic requirements OF
this country.
Such difference in the cost OF labor.
he held. naturally made IL impossible for
the American mills to compete on equal
terms with the British Columbia mills.
either at home abroad. without the
aid of the protective tariff.
All statements that they were able SO
to compete must necessarily be without
foundation.
Senator Crawf wford Of North Dakota said
he had heard that the difference in the
cost Of the labor in the United States and
British Columbia mills was entirely COM
pensated for by the difference In the de-
ticiency, the orientals being entirely un-
able to do more work than they were
paid for.
Employment Of Orientals.
This was not true, replied Mr.. Piles,
and was asserted only BY the British Co.
umbia manufacturers. vino naturally
would not admit that they employed
oriental labor merely because it was
cheaper, in view of the prejudice on the
coast against the yellow man. Further
more. Mr.. Piles said 1t was foolish for
the British Columbia manufacturer OF
lumber TO say he employed erientais be-
cause he couldn't get white men.
Why" declared MIR. Piles. 1.-THE white
labor market in Seattle is closer to tho
British Columbia mills than II is to many
so from Seattle to Vancouver by boat
for % cents
At this point Senator Burkett Of Ne
braska interrupted to say that all the
oriental labor was employed only in the
tide water mills.
Perhaps" said Mr.. Piles. .bu, that is
