Washington, June 23--In unexpect-

Der who, in the interest of the tree

advocate OF free lumber, arose and pre-
sented an amendment reducing the fl
nance committees rate Of $50 per
thousand on sawed lumber to the
House rate of 81 per thousand. This
was generally recognized as test pro-
posal. for sawed lumber has been the
bone Of contention from the beginning.
The North Dakota senator did not find
it worth whil. to enter into any argu-
ment in support of his provision, but
permitted it to go directly to Il vote.
The result was against him and an
other triumph for the Aldrich rates,

were completely obliteratcd on this
vote.

make a rate of 81 % per thousand on
