BUILDING BOOM IS NOT
COMING; ALREADY HERE
Lumber Market Report Shows
Building Boom Has Reached
Cities and Large Towns

The building boom is not coming.
IT is here so far as the cities and
large towns are concerned, according
to the American Lumberman, of Chi
cago. The increase in building and
the incessant demand for estimates
have both played a part in stimulat-
ing buying and in firming up the lum-
Der market generally. The building
boom has not as yet extended into
the country districts, but the farm.
ers are purchasing more material
than previously and are carrying on
much deferred repair work. Farm
ers in general are much encouraged
over the outlook Some sections
have had too much rain, but others,
notably the Southwest, have been as
sured good crops by the first good
rains for several years.
Production of southern hardwoods
has been very seriously interfered
with by floods and general high wa
ter, and it is feared that a good many
logs have been lost. Industrial de-
mand for hardwoods is picking up
ticularly in the South, and compare
lively little unsold dry hardwood lum-
Der is available, tirmer tendency
is to be noted.
Industrial purchasers generally
are showing more interest in secur-
ing lumber. The coal strike is slow
ing down some railroads but in other
cases it is having the curious effect OF
stimulating railroad buying. This is
explained by the fact that with lessen
ed traffic it is cheaper to make re-
pairs and additions, and consequent.
iy some railroads which are in good
financial condition are improving the
opportunity to make needed repairs
ana extensions. In addition, there
are a number Of inquiries out for
freight cars and there was recently
placed by one railroad system an or
der for 10000 freight cars, the larg-
est single. order placed during the
last five years. ...

INCREASE IN RAILROAD :,
CAR LOADING REPORTED
Railroad Freight Traffic Has
Improved Rapidly This
Year, Reports Show

"That railroad freight traffic and
general business have been improving
rapidly during the early months OF
this year, is indicated by the fact that
the number of carloads Of freight
handled up to April /, when the coal
strike began, has been greater than
it has been for any other of the past
five years except the record year OF
1920" says the Railway Age" in an
editorial in it's current issue, "the to.
tai car loading since April list has
aturally shown reflection on the re.
dnced coal production but from JAN
uary l to April l the total number OF
cars loaded with revenue freight was
10 ,996;184 as compared with 9,O15y
934 during the corresponding period
of 1921, although it was less than fol
1920 when total Of 10,223,s13 cars
were loaded. r".
The number of cars of freight re-
ceived by the railroads for transpor-
tation up to April was, Of course
|swelled considerably by the amount OF
coal ordered in anticipation of the
strike, just as the reduction in coal
loading at the present time will
doubtless be made up later on when
the strike is over or when the present
reserves become diminished. However
there have also been large increases
in the loading of merchandise and
miscellaneous freight. 1t is also true
that a carload of freight represents
less tons this year than it did when
the shortage of freight cars made the
shippers, more responsive to the ef'
forts of the railroads to induce them
to load cars to capacity.
"However, the tonnage and ton
mile figures will not be available fol
some time and in their absence the
gains shown in car loading totals rep.
resent one Of the reasons for optim'
ism which have recently been reflect
ed in beginning Of railroad purchases
on a much larger scale than has pre-
vailed for several years. While there
are still some 100000 freight cars
out of service for need of repairs, the
number of serviceable surplus cars
had been reduced from 100000 veal
to 206,746 by March 81 of this year

SENATE ABANDONS
ANTI-LYNCHING BILL
Success Crowns FiIibuster of
Senate Democrats Against
Dyer Measure

shington.-Success crowned the
hhbuster of Senate Democrats against
the Dyer anti-lynching bill when Re
publican senators in party caucus vot-
ed to abandon the measure complete

The Republican majority acted af.-
er the Democrats, by what is gener
ally conceded to have been one of the
most efficiently conducted filibusters
in the history of the Senate, had pre-
vented the transaction of any bust
ness for the fourth consecutive legis-
lative day. The obstructionist tactics
of the Democrats, moreover, were
threatening more than 1000 presiden-
tial nominations, which, if unconfrm-
ed when the special session ends,
must be again submitted
The question of abandoning the
measure, passed by the House last
session, was debated in caucus for two
hours, a small minority holding out
for a continuation of the fight, then
surrendering This means the death
of the legislation, which the Demo
Gratis have attacked as "a force bill"
and as unconstitutional
Majority and minority leaders alike
were agreed that the flibuster,
brought to an end by the Republican
caucus decision, will take a place as
one of the most notable in Senate his
tory. 1t has differed from previous
filibusters in that it involved no long
speeches, Democrats having utilized
the usual routine action of blocking
the journal Under Senate rules no
business can be transacted until the
journal or minutes of the previous
session, has been approved and the
Democrats took advantage of this
rule, refusing approval, presenting
amendments, demanding quorum calls
and requesting the ayes and noes on
every question brought up.
The parliamentary effect of these
maneuvers may be gauged b. the fact
that the Senate, when it quit work,
had before it as unfinished business
the journals for three days.

pressing for solution.
Also he took occasion to reply di-
rectly to those whom he said had as
sumed that the United States had
taken itself "aloof and apart. unmind
full of world obligations" He declared
these gave "scant credit" for the
