The Tariff Battle : Maine industries

The Tariff Battle : Maine industries
Cared For-Sprirg Visitors.
WASHINGTON, April (special) : 1t
seems as good as settled that the interests
of the pulp and paper-making industries
in Maine will be taken care OF adequately
in the revision of the Payne tariif bill by
the Senate. The hattie has not been en-
tirely fought out yet, but the indications
are clear. Senator Hale has been actively
engaged in forming the lines so that the
duties which are needed to protect Maine
from Canadian competition can be con-
tinued. He has enlisted the aid of other
New England senator's influential sena-
tors like Senator Lodge and Senator Crane,
Of Massachusetts, and Senator Aldrich, of
Rhode Island. They will all stand by the
needs of Maine and New Hampshire, and
every effort will be made in turn to secure
for Massachusetts, certain advantages in
the matter of raw materials.
With the pulp and paper schedules ad-
justed to the satisfaction of Maine and
New Hampshire, there will be help forth
coming for Massachusetts in obtaining
free hides for the manufacture of shoes
and some help also in retaining some
thing of duty upon shoes, even though
the West would take all the duty off shoes,
if the hides therefor are to come in free.
The matter has progressed sufficiently
far to make the provision for pulp and
pa per in the bill, as it VIII be reported to
ha fof rIx cafa Tina for 10
pulp and paper mills in Maine, New Hamp-
shire, northern New York, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Washington, Oregon and Cali
fornia was promptly and effectively made
up soon after the Payne bill had been re-
ported. Senator Hale lost no time getting
the senator's and representatives from
those states together and the progress has
been harmonious and determined.
The officials of the pulp and paper max
ing companies came on to Washington,
with complete data for the information of
the Senate finance committee, and their
statements were well presented. The
fight will have to be made anew, Of course,
in the conference OF the two houses. So
it is yet too early for any jubilation.
Senator Hale is paying special attention
to the pulp and paper schedules, and will
not relax his vigilance till the last posi-
BILE action in the shape Of fnality has
been taken. 70, :.
The Maine men in Congress are not do
ing much talking on the tariff bill, al
though tariff talking is now very much
the style in Washington. In fact there is
little else just now for talking Congress-
man to make speech about. SOME of the
Congress men have to make tariff speeches
to ''square themselves with their con-
stituents. The Maine men, Of course, do
not have to do that sort of thing. Their
constituents know they are acting for the
interest of the State. There is no neces-
sity for explaining and then voting the

walk is in bad condition, and
must be rebuilt anyway. The build

The Maine wooden manufacturers are
having an inning here this week. Some
of their officials have been here before the
ways and means committee, and were in
conference with Representative Burleigh
and others about the situation and the
prospects, They are making their final
appeal this week before the finance COM
mittee, and Senator Hale is going to try
to help them out some in getting changes
in the duties on wool
Twelve years ago, when the Dingley
law was passed, which so well suited the
Pine Tree state, all six of the Maine men
in Congress worked effectively togther for
the schedules that would most encourage
the industries at home. Most OF that good
work was done in committee rooms. No
speeches of note regarding Names inter
ests were made upon the floor of Senate
or House The same program is being
followed this year. The Maine senators
and representatives are hopeful that the
results will be fairly satisfactory.
The spring visitors from the third Con-
gressionsl district continue to come, and
Representative Burleigh is becoming
something of a veteran in showing them
around the capitol, escorting them to the
White House and doing the honors gene
rally for high school parties. As matter
of fact the high school tourists from New
England have exceeded all previous re-
cords in the last two or three weeks, and
Representative Burieigh is not alone in
finding himself occupied with the pleas
ant duty of trying to make Maine stu
dents at Washington feel at home. He
has had his picture taken with several OF
the parties Of Maine students, most OF

There has come to be something OF a
rivalry among the New England members
of the House over persuading President
Taft to receive the visiting high school
students from their districts. The Presi-
dent is SO busy these days, and the num-
Der of the high school excursionists has
become SO great, that he has had to refuse
some requests TO appear in the east room
and shake hands.
The students from the third district,
however, have Jared very well, for Gov.
Burleigh's requests for receptions for
them have nearly all been honored. Oc-
