committees would be going in and out Of their

The Democratic managers had on the whole
easy sailing to-day in the Senate. compared with
the narrowing uncertainties and hairbreadth es-
capes which marked the contest yesterday over
the highly vulnerable sugar schedule. The deci-

planters a small fraction OF the bounty for this

them by the success of Mr.. Hrs motion. prac-

THE FIGHT FOR THE WOOL INDUSTRY.
The effort to obtain & small duty on raw wool
was renewed In the Senate with great zeal and
Industry by Senator Sherman and the North
western Republicans. and in this contest they
were vigorously seconded by two OF the Populist
Senators-Messrs. PETER and Stewart. AS
Messrs Kyle and Allen. however, though osten-
sibly favoring a duty on wool, took every oppor-
tunity TO aid the Democrats management by

every turn In a minority Of from five to seven.

Democratic Senator from the West and North

in charge OF the bill In supporting this glaring
discrimination against the agricultural and In
dustrial interests OF their own section. The
other amendments offered 10 the wool schedule

The income tax section gave rise TO little con-
troversy when the question was put or agreeing
to the amendments made In Committee OF the
Whole. Mr.. Hill said he would make Whatever
fight ne might think proper by offering amend
ments later in the afternoon. Mr.. McLaurin, or
Mississippi. stirred up lively dispute by asking
a non-concurrence in the amendment exempting
the salaries Of the Federal judges and Of the
President OF the United States from the opera
tons Of the income tax. Mr.. Hill championed
the amendment, which had been accepted at his
own suggestion and that OF Senator Hoar. OF
massachusetts,. The Democratic managers gen.
orally favored concurrence, but the vote was
not strictly on party lines. The extreme cuckoo
Democrats, who seemed 10 fear TO vote TO de-
prive the President Of 1920 OF his salary. sup
ported the exemption, as did a great majority OK
the Republicans.
Mr. AicLaurin's motion OF announcements was
carried however. by a vote OF 36 TO a. Messrs.
Gray Villas Pasco and Ransom were conspicu-
GUS among the cuckoo Democrats who would
not follow the Finance Committee in its attempt
to tax the salary OF the head Of the party" Mr..
Mills with characteristic indecison between his
personal loyalty to the Executive and hc sub
servency to the Democratic leadership refused
to vote. and went once more on record as po-
litical "dodger."
The last Of the reserved amendments was
voted on about 4 o'clock, and the bill again
thrown open to final scrutiny and revision. those

votes reviewing the committees action having
