It Is selieVed Hurried Trip to Taf,
Was Made to Get Figures That viii
Be Acceptable In the House and
Senate.
Washington. July 29.-After work
ing for nearly three weeks at what
proved To be one of the longest and
most arduous tasks ever experienced
in tarir building the majority mem.
bers OF the conference committee on
the Payne-Aldrich bill brought their
labors to a sudden close
Without a moments delay the sen.
ate and house leaders, whose names
are carried by the bill, started away
to lay their report before President
Taft.
All day long the conferees had strue
gled with the question OF bringing down
the house rates on gloves and the
senate rates on lumber to figures they
felt would meet with executive an
proval. In this effort the confereos
failed. and they appeared TO appre
ciate the fact
Lumber and Gloves Up TO Taft
Lumber was made dutiable at rates
only a little below those named by
the senate bill and there was a yer,
slight shading from the house rates
on gloves OF good quality. Although
II was not admitted by the conferees
the general impression drawn from
the hurried trip was that the Messrs
Aldrich and Payne had been author
lied by their colleagues TO incorporat,
I'm the conference report such figures
as could be agreed upon with Tn,
president. insofar as they came with
in range OF what the leaders believ,
viii be acceptable in the house and
senate.
Returning from the conference
Messrs. Aldrich and Payne seemed {,
be entirely satisfied with the outcom,
OF their mission. although neither
would discuss the conclusions tha
were reached.
In view OF President Taft's utter
ances. senate and house leaders were
predicting that the conference rates
on gloves and lumber would not prov,
| satisfactory to him. At the same time
IL was recognized that conditions were
such that unless compromises were
made by the conferees II would be
many days before a report could be
made. II required a roll call TO fix
the rates on lumber. which are as
follows;
Lumber. rough. $40 a thousand
feet The house rate was 81 and the
senate rate $1.50. The senate differ.
entails were adopted, making lumber
planed on one side dutiable at $3.50.
two sides. sails; three sides, $252ib
and four sides. $3.50. The senate rates
on lath and shingles. which were
higher than the house rates, also were
adopted
Gloves were made dutiable at rates
considerably in advance of the duties
fixed by the senate bill. which for the
most part were the same as the Ding
ley rates.
Just before the close of the session
the print paper schedule was reopened
and the rate fixed at 1915 ton. This
is only 25 cents less than the senate
rate and S175 more than the house
rate
If the report is laid before the house
tomorrow. according TO the present
program, it will be printed and taken
up on Saturday. II is not believed that
the house will discuss it more than
one day II this estimate of time
proves correct the senate may begin
with the report on Monday II is b..
lieved that IT can be disposed of next
week
