Would Delay the Game.
So emphatic were his objections
that it was seen the game would be
delayed if such actions were at
tempted The Republican members
continued in session after the Demo
craft left the chamber. There follow
ed a busy scene. Scurrying TO ana
frcm the chamber were senators and
members of the House vying with re-
personalities Of special interests TO
get a final word with the conference
Late In the day, Representative
Fordney and. Calderhead went to the
White House and from there 20 the
office of Speaker Cannon and then
back to the conference chamber Lat
err they conferred with a number OF
Northwestern senators interested III
the lumber question. Soon after
ward Speaker Cannon entered the
conference room.
Speaker Cannon has been one OF
the supporters of the house rates on
gloves. One of the largest manu-
features of gloves IS a warm friend
of the speaker He has urged for a
number of years that the rate on wo-
mems and children's gloves be rails
cd When the speaker concluded his
visit to the conference chamber those
awaiting the report asked him if the
cOnferees had finished.
Cannon Had Capitulated.
Il am net a member of the confer
ence committee. how DO | know re-
sponded the speaker He wore the
unmistakable air. however, of a man
who had capitulated before superior
force. There was no opportunity to-
compromise on gloves. The President
said the rates must not be advanced
beyond the figures named by the SEN
ate bill, which are the same as the ex-
listing duties except for the fact that
Schmaschen gloves were reduced by
the senate from s1.75 dozen to s1.S5.
The rates were adopted.
On lumber some concessions we're
made in spite of the fact that the
Presidents Instructions were complied
with TO the letter. Rough lumber was
made dutiable at s125 per 1000 feet.
Finished on one side SIG: finished on
two sides or one side planed and
the tongued and groved s215; finish
ed on three sides s2,52ia and finished
on four sides $3.50.
10 candidate Senator Piles and
Jones the conferees adopted the SEN
ate rate Of 80 cents 1000 on shingles
instead of the house rates of 30 cents.
In order to obtain the support OF
Senator Hepburn. the industries OF
whose state had been assailed through
abolition of the duty on hides, the re-
duction in the duty on lumber and
the reduction in the differential on
pig lead in bars, the latter schedule
wasreconsidered rate of Is cents
a pound on pig lead in bars was fix
ed.
A concession wac made to the cat
tie industry today by taking tallow off
the free list.
Increase on Hosiery.
The rate on hosiery were increased
about 20 per cent in grades valued at
from one to two dollars a dozen pairs
This is an increase over existing rates.
Or all other values of hosiery the
Dingiey rates were retained.
When the minority members adj
iourned tonight it was announced that
the tariff experts they had called in
had proceeded far enough to show
that the new bill would be an in
crease OF from one to three per cent
over the ad valorems Of the Ding
ley law.
II is understood that in reaching
calculations the experts did not take
into consideration transfers of ar
ticles from the dutiable to the free
list. which the Republicans conferees
say would reduce the average ad val
orcms considerably below those of the
existing law.
