Tariff Talk Fractures Over Lumber and Labor
In Washington on April 2 the Senate debated lumber tariffs with Senator Scott invoking Mark Twain to lampoon tariff shifts. Nelson cited Oriental labor in Washington and British Columbia while Piles noted only two mills employ such labor, with thousands of white workers in related industries. Discussions touched on stock watering, regional pine stumpage, cross-border labor, and positions on protective duties, including McLaurin proposing to cut duties and even support for free lumber.
