HOUSE COMMITTEE

Democrats Endorse Underwood
Wool Tariff Bill, Making 50
Per Cent Reduction.

straint of trade.
BRIEF NEWS OF THE WEEK
Washington.—By > strict party vota
the house ways and means comm tteo
adopted a favorable report on the
Underwood wool tariff bill as en­
dorsed by the Democratic caucus. The
bill was reported to the house Tues­
day and called up by Chairman Un­
derwood Wednesday.
Advocates of free raw wool, backed
by William J. Bryan, offered amend­
ments in the caucus, putting raw wool
on the free list or proposing a grad­
ual reduction that would abolish the
entire duty within five years. Un­
derwood and others who spoke in fa­
vor of the 20 per cent duty, repl.ed
to the free wool Democrats by point­
ing out the absolute necessity of a
small duty on raw wool In order
to help provide revenue for the gov­
ernment.
Through a resolution which leaves
the Democratic party open in the fu­
ture to renew its advocacy of free
trade in raw wool, but which commits
sll Democrats to the support of the
present bill as a revenue measure, the
divergent interests were brought to­
gether in the caucus. The bill pro­
poses a duty of 20 per cent on raw
wool, a reduction of more than 50 per
cent from the Payne-Aldrich law now
In force.
