almost came to blows on the
house today while the latter was
making a speech on the tariff.
Mr. Fordney, in response to numerous
questions relative to the
existence ot a lumber trust, was
contending that no combination
of lumber manufacturers exists.
Mr. I'yrcl asked if it was not
true that a combination exists
among the retail dealers of Mississippi,
to which Mr. Fordney's
firm, which is operating in that
State, was a party. Mr. Ryrd
added that he knew whereof he
spoke when he charged the existence
of such a combination.
' The gentleman doesn't know
a damned thing about it," shouted
Mr. Fordney irritably.
Immediately Mr. Byrd made
his way toward Mr. Fordney, but
several Democratic members
stopped him before he could
reach the former.
Mr. Fordney immediately apologized
to the house for the profanity
and said that it he had offended
the gentleman irom Mississippi
he most humbly apologized.
lie aided, however, that
Mr. Byrd could not say ihat his
firm was a member of a lumber
trust.
Mr. Byrd theu explained that
it was not hi6 intention to muke
such a charge, and the incident
was closed.
