Washington, Juno 23.--Without tha
sign OF speech the senate today be-
gan voting on the lumber schedule as
soon as Il quorum had been procured.
The first vote was on an amendment
by McCumber proposing n rate Of 81
per thousand on sawed lumber instead
OF the rate decided on by the finance
committee of $3.50 per thousand. Tho
committee was sustained. A to s4.
From the beginning of tho session
there has been n decided contest over
the lumber rate. One of the hardese
fights made by tho northwestern sem
ators had been for free lumber, In tho
house the reformers succeeded in re-
ducing the Dingley law ratio from 81
to 81. They continued their efforts in
the senate. but finding themselves un-
able 10 make any impression there in
the interest OF FREQ lumber. they would
have been willing to accept tho house
rate, So stiff. however, was tho sen.i-
ment against them that they succeeded
only In getting a reduction OF as per
cent from the Dingley duties, and tho
us
shown by today's vote, indicates not
only that the committee's schedule win
remain unchanged In tho senate. but
the sentiment for a pronounced duty IA
so strong that II will be difficult "a
change the senate rates in the con.
ference.
