COMPROMISE ON
IRON ORE DUTY
SENATE COMMITTEE SPLITS PRES
ENT CHARGE AND RECOMMEN-
DATION IN BILL.
Is ONE OF MANY TRADES,
Dingley Law Calls for 40 Cents a Ton
and Payne Measure Puts 1t on
Free List.
MICHIGAN HEAVILY INTERESTED.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. April S.-The
present intention of the Senate commit
tee on finance is to place a duty of 20
cents per ton. on iron ore. Under the
Dingley law iron ore is dutiable at 10
cents per ton. while the Payne bill puts
it on the free list. The decision of the
Senate committee is in the nature of Il
compromise and was brought about by
the insistence of Senator Burrows and
his colleague, Senator William Alden
Smith.
Caused Much Trouble.
Iron ore is one of the products which
has given the House and Senate commit
tees great trouble. While some of the
ore producers admitted frankly to the
House committee that they could stand
their share of reduction if there was to
be Il general revision of the tariff down
ward. few of them were willing to adj
nit that they could stand free orc. Some
of the principal iron ore ranges of the
United States are located in Michigan
particularly the Mesaha range. and the
industry is one of supreme Importance
to the state.
One of the Trades.
Until yesterday it was practically con
ceded that the Senate committee would
agree to free ore. 1t is asserted that a
majority of the members of the commit
tee believe that the industry would not
suffer materially if the duty were taken
off of iron ore entirely. 1t is recognized.
however, that i'll order to get 4 tariff
bill through Congress. trades of various
kinds must be made, and this is one of
many.
