IRON ORE DUTY IIP FOR DISCUSSION Burrows Declares There Is Enough Iron Ore In This Country to Last Us for Six Thousand Years Washington, May 13. "The situa tion In Washington today is such that you cannot get the truth out of anybody. I am fond of liars. I have studied them day and night but never in my life saw such an aggregation ns are assembled in the capttol now. They can lie with equal facility on i d her side of the same; question.' This burst forth from Henator Kay nir this morning in the discussion on the iron ore schedules. Rayner plead ed for free ore in behalf of Independ ent companies and was met with the statement by Smith that Charleg M. Schwab had said that to put iron ore on the free list would not reduce the price of the manufactured article. After roll call in the .Senate had shown 63 senators present today. Senator Burrows spoke In favor of u duty on Iron ore as a source of rev enue. The present duty of forty cents, which the committee propos es to reduce to twenty-five cents, yields, he said, a revenue of $332,000, which would be lost by placing iron ore on the free list as proposed by the House. P.urrows said It . Is reasonable to state that 56,000 men ar reviving 31,RH0,000 annually in the" produc tion' of Iron ore, which industry, he said. It is now proposed tn open to the competition of the world. Quoting from the advance sheets of the next annual report of the geologi cal survey, he said there are now 3, ,'00.000,000 tons of high grade oro available in the I'nited States, while there are about 72. 000. 000, 000 tons of, low grade ore available. Speaking of the basis of facts, Hurrows said: 'The Senator from South Dakota yesterday told us that our Iron ore deposits would be exhausted in thirty years but according to the geological survey, at the rate of consumption now, the ore will last 6.000 years, so there need be no concern on that score," The senator also discussed the Iron ore schedule saying that If the Sen ate should reject the act of the com mittee on finance In placing a duty of 25 cents a ton on iron ore he would later move that the article be placed on the free list.- He said that the duty would rebound to the benefit of the I'nited States Steel corporation and Injure the Independent mills who are compelled to buy imported ore He said he did not believe the Cuban ore would go west of the Alleghnles, but would be available for steel com panies on the east of the mountains, who are competitors of the steel cor poration.

Hall that has caused not u few of them to seek the advice of lawyers.
