Dec. 14. Congress ! to have a sin-felt of bills revising the woolen tariff schedules, and a bard fight Is assured Immediately after tha holiday recess. Damocratle members rf tha wj and means eommlttea already hava berun tha preparation of a bill; tha Repub lican nambtn of tha committee also are preparing a wool bill, and tonight Senator Smoot. of Utah, a meinber of ttie finance committee, eald that he wo'jld prepare a bill. "I am pleased with the tariff board'! report on schedule K." Senator Smoot aid. "and hope that the finding of Diet body will be accepted by the American people." . Senator mnnl aubmltted fr conald eratlon of the House the following iilriu as to revision: "The report ehowa that fine and fine medium woole. which represent tiar!jr no per cent of our domestic clip, coat to produce 11 to 1? rente pr pound. The remaining rr cent. btnc the coarser grade, coats le.s. AuMralla and New Zealand pro duce treat quantities of m-ool that mm Into competition with American fine and fine medium woole. and coata to produce nothing, aa the profits from the sale of mutton and aheep for stock ing; ether Tuna' para In a normal year the entire station expenses. VTealdeat'e Plaa Approved. "I approTe the President-! plan ef i leryinr duties on wool bv a single specific duty baaed upon the aconred pound, with all wools now classified aa first and second thrown together with one rate: and third-class, or carpet woole. at another and lower rate. If the difference In cost of produc ing wooia other thn carpet and lower grades in this country and abroad la nlr cents a pound, and the average shrinkages of fine and fine medium wools Imported la 5 per cent, then the actual rata of duty on the scoured wool content should be 10 rents a pound. "I will support a single rate of duty, based on the scoured content of wool of the first and second class of i cents a pound, ami am confident that the woolgrower will receive aa much pro tection aa ha Is now receiving baaed upon the 11-ccnt per pound In the grease, or a supposed protection of 33 r-enta on each scoured pound. "Tha rata of "0 cents a pound win ba the basis for a compensatory duty for scoured wool used In the manufactured product. Instead of 33 cents per pound in the present law. Reveaae Urged aa Baata. The rate of duty on carpet wools should be considered more from a revenue basis than a protective one. and. in my opinion, ought to be 10 cents per pound on tt;e scoured content. "The determination of tha shrinkage of each shipment of wool Into this ountry must be by testing every bale or bag in tioverntnent establishments. "I would like to see the rales high cnougn on rags and liw grades of noddy to prohibit their Importation, a we have enough of that class of adulterants produced In this country. "The compensatory duty levied upon woolen and worsted fabrics should be a specific of 27 cents per pound, being the 20 cents levied on sooured wool and 7 cents allowance for loss In man ufacturing (Instead of 44 cents, aa now provided on goods valued at mora than 40 cents a pound) and a graduated ad valorem to scale to equal the differ ence of cost of production In thla coun try and abroad. "Barring the prohibitive rates on low-grade mixed goods, the present ad valorem rates are not far from right on the great bulk of wool and won Led fabrics, but In the future tha rata muat ba graduated so as not to over protect the lower grades of mixed fab ric. "I hare always claimed that tha American manufacturer la compelled by competition to sell his goods at a profit of from cents to 10 cents per yard. The report shows a fair aver age of profit to tha manufacturer to he 13-10 cents per yard. I have al ways claimed that the profit made by the manufacturer of the cloth In a suit ef clothes rtlil not exceed from to to 2 cents. The report supports that claim. The statement that the present tariff la.w added $ to each suit of clothes sold to the American people la proved false by the report." Peaservata Oppaae BUI. Senator Smoot's bill does not meet the approval of the Democratic mem bers of the ways and means commit tee, as Chairman t'nderwood has al ready announced that he does not fa vor the President's idea of levying a single specific duty on tlie scoured pound, and that the House bill, to be proposed by the maiorlty of the com mittee, probably would Include ad valorem duties. fereno Payne, ranking Republican member, and his Republican colleagues on the committee, are drafting a bill based upon the tariff board's report. It is said jliey will have the co-operation of the Administration and tbis House Mil. It is said, will vary little from tha Sinoot bill. Tha Democratic bill, on the other hand, will be based partly upon tha tariff board's figures and partly upon statistics collected by tha majority members of the ways and means committee. With the Republicans of tha House determined to fight against a bill not entlrelv based upon the report, and Kepithllcans in the Senate' of the ssme mind, a protracted battle over the woolen tariff Is assured.
