C|ILBERTSON ATTACKS
SENATE TARIFF BILL
Saws 1t Is All In the Interests of the
Trusts, Which Sell Cheaper Abroad
Than They Do at Home.


WASHINGTON, May 21.-It was
announced today that the senate
finance committee had determined to
reduce the proposed rates on finished
lumber concessions not decided upon.
1t will depend largely upon what action
is taken on rough lumber
Senator Culbertson of Texas, vi
ciously attacked the protective tariff,
declaring that the increased cost OF
living is out of proportion to increased
wages. He charged that the present
bill aids the trusts.
Culbertson said that the bill enables
the American protected manufacturers
to sell cheaper to foreigners than to
home consumers. He said the republl-
can party is bringing about centraliZa-
ton power at Washington.

their activity in this direction, but it
is not so easy to suggest practicable
ways and means. People of ordinary

the travelling public, which means loss

costly. The railroads are ever on the
alert for new devices that may afford

have been made in this direction within
recent years. But so long as the per-

the travelling public must depend
upon the fidelity, trustworthiness and
