TAFT WILL
WIN FIGHT
FREE OR REDUCED RATES ON
RAW MATERIAL WILL
GO.
Presidents Voice is all Powerful and
Tinkering Conferees Realize
That Fact.

Washington, July 2O,-President
Taft will WIN his fight for free or re-
duced rates or duty on raw materials.
NSearly every member OF the confer
ence on the tariff bill conceded this.
The indications are that when the
new tariff bill becomes a law the
rates ON the articles which the presi-
dent desired to come in free will be
as follows:
Iron ore, free (present rate forty
cents per toni.
OIL free (now protected by coun-
tervaiIing duty).
Hides, and one-half per cent ad
valorem (present rate Is per cent?
Coal, 45 cents per ton (present rate
81 cents).
Lumber, probably s1.25 on rOught,
with senate rates on finished. Tins
would be a material reduction
throughout the humber schedule.
When the conferees transferred to
the presidents shoulders the respont
sibiiity OF putting THE foregoing raw
materials on the free list it was not
believed he would meet with success
in bringing about a changed senti-
ment in relation to these articles. For
severH days, however, members OF
congress have been going to the white
house and not few OF them came
away convinced that the president
was right in insisting that all OF these
articles could stand lower duties. Ii
was not believed he would be able to
put hides, humber or coal on the free
list, but it was acknowledged that any
reduction in rates in the pending bill
on these articles would amount to
an administration triumph.
In effect the president was told by
the conferees that If iron ore, oil, Goa
hides or lumber were put ON the free
list or the rates reduced below the
figures adopted in the senate he would
have to get the votes" 1t was recog.
MED that 1T would be impossible +
put the lumber and coal on ths
free list as the conference report wa:
TO be adopted by the senate Neithel
was 1t believed rates on these. article:

That change of sentiment haC
taken place in the senate on the
matter of free iron ore and free OF
was a matter of common gossip abou
the capitol 1t was stated just as con
hdently that the Is per cent ad va
lorem rate ON hides would have to b,
crt IN half, although some opponent
to the proposition OF putting hide
ON the free list are still hopeful OF re

Coal, at As cents a ton, it was de
clared, would prove satisfactory t,

every section except Wyoming, whict
might be ruined by cheap Canadial
coal. i wO railroads are now buildlni
from northwestern states to CanaC

fields. Senator Clark and Representa-
tive Monnel, of Wyoming, are pro
testing against any reduc ton iron

opted a 60 cent rate. 1t is under Stoo

Frank Pierce, assistant secretary

that the claims were being held up
in order that new legislation might
be passed removing the claims

this was not true, that the claims

that subsequent legislation could

James j. Stark was appointed a

prisoners at the Franklin school
of the action of the meeting, but on
calling there at noon today was re-
fused an opportunity of conversing
with the men.
Stark, who had completed 80
days for the cause of free speech,
said this morning:
so far as the |. w. WIS are con-

than at any time since the fight
