sEIASE7zlVGTO on LET TER

When the 4 bill went to-; conference
there was an absolute demand on the
part OF the executive and the PRO
gressives" for free coal; free oil, free
lumber, ali matters OF deep Interest
to West Virginia. Senators Elkins and
Scott paid more than one visit to the
White House to present their reasons
for duties or all these articles. The
West Virginia delegation In the lower
House did the same. Matters were
.upsidedown: threats were being made
on all sides that the report would be
defeated and the Dingley bill permit
ted to stand. Both the Senators said
that this last result would suit them
very well: they liked the Dingley
bill and would much rather have 1t
than to have this bill cut to pieces.
The result of their work, which was
carried on with. the Senate conferees.
as well as with, the President. result
ed in this.

Is Coal goes on til datlable list nj 45e
u ton, tle counteryail ling duty as the.
House had 1T Is dropped and a efini-ii
ton for slack is5made. While the two
West Virginia Senators fought for sa
higher: rate they were unuttarably op-
nosed TO the countervailing duty,
which would simply have meant free e
coal within the next six months. The
DingleJ law contains nc. definition or
slncl, and the two Senators were biz
terly opposed to this fact. Taey in
sisted on definition being placed in
the bill and the report as presented
TO Congress provides the following:
"That the rate of fifteen cents per
ton herein designated for coal slack
or cum' shall be held to apply to i'm
portations of coal slack or culm pro-
duced and screened In the ordinary
way, as sucn. and so shipped from the
mine.'' IL
with the countervailIng duty knock
ed out. and this they secured, and 4
definition for slack. 1t Is Thought that
the coal men will be able to get along
all right. If they could have had their
way the rate would hare been ut least
co per cent. and the definition much
stronger. They are still hoping that
the ton will be made the short ton:
This would mean 81 per cent.
On lumber the rate is $1.23 per
thousand feet board measure. with
higher rates on the finished product.
This Is decided victory over the free
trade element. which insisted on free
lumber. and II that could not be oh,
tanned, on dollar lumber.
Bnt on oil they lost. and this is the
bitter drop In their cup. Both Sena-
tors worked inlefatigably. They called
on the President. they argued with the
conferees: but the President was
firm and said he must have free oil.
Thl. strengthened up the House con-
ferees and they kept. to 1t. In fact the
bill would have been vetoed III the
President mad not secured free oil us
one of the demands he made of Con-
sress. When 1t Is considered that the
House out of It's entire membership
could only find less, than fifty men
who were in favor OF duty on oil 1t
can he seen what proposition the
Senators were UP against.
The other items OF the bill In whicl
West Virginia was Interested keep
about the same as have been pointed
out in these letters. 1t is more thnn
probable that the conference report
will be adopted though many Western
Senators are threatening to vote
against 1t. =
Both Senator Elkins and Senator
Scott feel that they nave done the
best they could and are glad to be
able to get out OF the fray with ms
much to the credit OF their State as
they have. [.
