SENATE WILL OPPOSE

Lumber interests Will Fight Rcdue-
tions in Schedule While Prairie
States Will Demand Duty Free
Senate Will Oppose Inheritance Tax

Washington, March 19.-That there
will be a great variety Of opinions on
the tariff bill when it reaches the sem
ate Is now certain, according to ex-
pressions OF senators in those states
wherein are. located various industries
chiefly affected by the changes in
schedules proposed in the house bill.
Reductions in the lumber schedules
will be stnrdily resisted by the Maine
senators and those from the Pacific
coast and extreme northwest. The sem
ators from Minnesota and the Da-
kotas will make a strenuous effort to
secure free lumber instead of mere
reductions of the tariff. The proposed
Inheritance tax will be stoutly resisted
and an amendment providing for an
income tax will be introduced.
Cummins Not Satisfied.
While the general trend Of sentiment
among the senators favors the increase
In some schedules, while they gener-
ally believe the house has made ample
reductions to satisfy reformers. at
least one republican. Cummins, OF
Iowa, declares the tariff should be
made still lower, and he will do ev-
erything in his power to obtain fur
ther reductions.

that mining companies will shut down
for an indefinite period, pending the
settlement of labor troubles, cannot be
officially confirmed, but reports from
several important sections of the coal
regions tend to support such rumors.
The union miners are busy strength
