WANTS HIGHER RATE.
Humphrey of Washington Pleads for
Increased Shing1e Duty.

Washington. March 26.-when the
tariff bill was laid before the house to-
Gay Mr. Humphrey of Washington,
took issue with some statements made
by Mr.. Payne in his opening regard
ing the number of Orientals engaged
in the lumber mills of British Colum-
bia. Mr. Payne, he said, left the i'm
preston that there were fewer ORR
entails working in such mills there
than in the state of Washington. That
statement was erroneous. he said. He
declared that over fifty per cent of the
men engaged in the lumber and shingle
mills of British Columbia are Orientals
and are paid less than Americans mill
laborers and that therefore the cost of
production was less.
Out of the 1880 men employed in the
shingle mills of Washington, Mr..
Humphrey said there were but Al
Orientals. He also said that of the
10000 men employed in the lumber
and shingle industry of that state
there were but 1900 Orientals.
Mr.. Humphrey, in pleading for an
increase duty on shingles, warned the
Republicans that they could not es-
cape their responsibility insofar as the
problem of Oriental labor was con-
cerned.
Now" he said. 1--WE have an oppor-
tunity 10 see whether or not we are
going back on what we have said
about protecting the labor of this
country from the ruinous competition
of foreign countries
While the Payne bill, he said, has
protected the industries of New Eng
land, Pennsylvania and New York and
they were in operation, out in Wash
ington the conditions were exactly the
reverse. Our mills are closing he
declared, land men are being thrown
out of employment"
He discussed the benefits derived un-
der the Dingley bill and inquired how
Ill +s-,,s ,s-A
could go back to his constituents and
say that the Payne bill was better
than the Dingley law.
On the authority of Mr.. Fordney of
Michigan the Washington member
asserted that the witnesses before the
committee on ways and means who
wanted lumber put on the free list
were men interested in Canadian tim
ber. while those who asked for the
Dingley duty were men interested in
timber in the United States. I'VE
ought not to hesitate long when that
question is presented he said, 'as to

BACK TO OLD FARES
Railroads and Missouri Officials Fail
to Get Together.

Jefferson City. Mo, March, 26--
That there has been a practical fall
ure of all the rate negotiations be-
tween state and railroad officials here
during the past two days. was appar-
ent today after another fruitless con-
ference at the executive mansion and
a decision by the state senate not to
interfere. It is considered probable
that the roads will put the old three
cent fares into effect early next month
and that the legislature will retallate
bv passing bills requiring the sale OF
mileage books at the rate of two cents
a mile and giving the state railroad
commissioner power to fix passenger
rates.
After an executive session the sen
ate adopted a resolution declaring that
its function is so purely legislative
that fit would not be proper to ex.
press its opinion as to the merits OF
any negotiations now or hereafter
nn1ding between the executive officers
of this state and the railroads for an
adjustment of railroad rates, except
when brought before thls pooy do
legislative matter.

The mayor said that there were water
