The situation agaln became clouded by the offering of a substitute amendment by Mr. Clark, who desired to speak on It, but the chair ruled that Mr. Fordney was entitled floor.

Mr. Tawney of Minnesota opened up with a substitute. Mr. Clark, who also claime the floor, wus recognized. The Clark sub- stitute, which was then read, provided for amending several sections by placing lum- ber on the free list. Mr. Tawney contended that two para- graphs could not be covered in one amend- and offered an entire substitute for tihe lumber schedule, modifying, but re- tajning, the duty.

Payne, chairman of the house ways and means committee, today, in a statemcnt which will be printed In the congressional record, asserted that the importers who oppose the duty were in- terested In firms abroad which make gloves and hoslery. He presented various figures in an effort.to justify the in- creased rates from the republican stand- poiit of protection, contending that the | difference in cost of labor in the United | States and abroad was not covered by the | dutles levied by the Dingley law. | Claiming that the new tariff increases the duty from 1% cents per pair to 2% | cents per pair, Mr. Payne declared that | there was no truth in the assertion that | the price of hoslery to the consumer would be increased % cents per palr to the con- sumer. He ridiculed the suggestion that the increased duties will result in the formation of a hosfery trust, a claim which had been advanced by the mporters. Methods of Big Firms. Mr. Payne quoted from a statement, the name of the author which he did not give, in which it was asserted that Marshall Field & Co., Chicago; Brown, Durnell & Co., Boston; Lord & Taylor, New York; Henry Schiff & Co, New York; Wessen- donck, Lorenz & Co. New York; Arnold, Constable & Co., New York; Rubens & Meyer. New York; Carson, Pirfe, Scott & Co., Chlcago; F.

The pos- sibility of borrowing moncy more cheaply abroad and the enccuragement given by the German goveriment to exporation of merchandlse are also cited as an advantage under which these concerns work. Means Real Protection. Mr. Payne asserted {hat scores of peti- tions have been recelved by the commit- tee asking that the increased dutles might be retained In order that the working pecple of the country may make the stock- Irgs used in the United States. Mr. Pa argued| that the Increased duties on women's gloves were made fustifiable for the purposes of protection and revenues. He clted the conditions resulting from the protection afforded the manufacturers of men's gloves by ho Dingley bill. “Prior to 184 they were making 5 or 10 per cent of the men's gloves,” he sald, “but he said that the duty was so low that they were being driven out of business, and statistios seemed to back up their as- sertions. Today they demonstrate to us that they are making over % ver cent of the men's gloves worn in this country, hav- ing amply redeemed their promise and that the cost to the consumer is much less than it was prior to 1897. They came before the committea early in the hearing and proved to us that it cost no more and required no more skill to make a woman's glove than a man’s and ciaimed that if the same rate of duty was given them, in time they would make the same percentage of women's gloves and that this industry | would employ at least 5,900 people, TWO MILLION-DOLLAR DEPOT Birmingham Dedicates New Strue- | ture with Monster Parade and Meeting. | BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 6.—Birming- ham's §2000.000 terminal station was dedi- cated today.

The Slocumb law was passed at a time when public opinfon was exclted upon the liquor question much as at present, and becauso of the fact that it was a decided step in advance of anything before enacted, it has remained intact through the years past as a modol pf regulatory legislation.
