LUMBER FAMINE
IN PROSPECT FOR
STATE BUILDERS
No Lumber in Sight, Although
Largest Building Program
in Years Has Been
a Mapped Out.

With perhaps the largest building
program III years mapped out for Ne.
braska, tie state, along with other
states, faces the prospect OF lumber
famine i'll six months.
No less than 100 lumber statesmen,
employed by the big lumber wholesale
concerns in Omaha, are in off the road
because they are afraid OF getting Or
ders they would not know how to
handle.
The lumber mills have frightened up
on the dispcnsation OF their stocks be-
cause athe government has suggested
that it may want great deal of lum-
Der at any moment, and when Uncle
Sam wants it, he wants it right away.
Plenty Of Time to Hoe.
So lumber statesmen by the dozens
are on the streets of Omaha, in their
back yard gardens, and around the
fish ponds casting for bass, while their
employers are paying them their regu-
lar salary. The wholesalers are
anxious to hold the men, believing
that the situation may grow better and
that they, may begin to get luinber

WRATH OF SENATE
IS POURED UPON
GRAIN GAMBLERS
Men Who Make Profits Out Of
the Nations Needs Should
Be Hanged, Says Ken
yon Of Iowa.

Washington, May l4.-The unte-
strained wrath OF the senate was
poured down upon food gamblers and
spectators today in one Of the most
remarkable scenes in the history of
the chamber.
Pirates" and robbers" were terms
frequently applied to those who profit
by speculations in food in the hour of
the nations need. The likelihood of
food spectators being, hanged to
lamp posts was hinted at,
The storm broke when Senator
Thomas, democrat of Colorado, pro-
posed an amendment to the admins
tration espionage bill, a provision to
suspend for the duration Of the war
all boards OF trade, stock exchanges
or chambers of commerce which per-
NIT speculation in futures in food.
T Drastic Action Needed.

the ground that the object should be
accomplished in another way, and

PAPERS PROTEST
POSTAGE TAX AS
BLOW At PRESS
Spokesman for Publishers De-
clare Provision Confisca-
tory and Meant to EN-
barrass Industry.

Washington, May 14.-Spokesinen
for newspapers and periodicals, large
and small, and from all parts Of the
country appeared before the senate
finance committee today to attack
as unreasonable and conhscatory the
war revenue bill provision which
would create a zone system with
greatly increased rates for second
class mail matter.
They declared il the measure went
into effect many publications would
be compelled to suspend.
Don c. Seitz OF the New York
World, representing the American
Newspaper Publishers association,
said the proposed increased was not
a war tax, but an effort to further
repress and embarrass the newspaper
industry"
Can't Stand Increase.
He told the committee there also
had been a big slump in business
which if continued would paralyze
the newspapers. The publishers, he
added, were not seeking special
favors, but wanted to be placed on
the same level with people engaged
III other business
Arthur Dunn, speaking for the
smaller newspapers Of the country,
said they could not stand the increase
in postal rates with the increased
cost OF print paper, and that many
would be compelled 10 go out Of busi-
ness if the bill was enacted.
J. A. Moore OF New York, repre-
senting the Periodical Publishing as
sociation composed eighty-six of the
leading magazines, said the increase
would mean an added expenditure OF
more than $j,700,00O in postage to
members OF that organization and
ruination for many of them.
Speaks for Farm Papers.
f. o. Meridith of Dcs Moines, Ia,
speaking for forty-hve OF the lead
ing farm publications, joined in the
protest. He urged that newspapers
are a necessary asset OF the country
and that the government needs the
circulation of every printed page pos
sble.
All agreed that there is no unwill-
ingness on the part OF publishers 10
pay war taxes, but they do not want
tax that would be an unbearable
burden.
Nebraska, said he joined with the
other members OF the ways and
means committee in support OF the
bill except the section relating to
postage increase.
Opposes Further Bond Issues.
1--WE are raising money for this war
instead of conducting a punitiye eX-
pcdition against newspapers and
magazines" said Sloan, adding that
unless the amendment proposed by
Chairman Moon were adopted he
would offer one greatly reducing the
proposed second class rates. He
opposed putting any more OF the bur
den OF the war on bond issues, de-
claring the young men who will be
conscripted should not have to come
home" and lat in life be faced with
paying the cost OF the war.
