Tariff on Wool About so Per Cont.

Washington, June. 21.-The demo-
cratic bill reducing the tariff on wool
and wooden goods more than so per
cent was passed by the house of repre-
sentatiyes late yesterday afternoon by
a vote Of 221 to 1907 Twenty-fou re-
| ptblicans. mostly progressives from
the west, voted for the bill, and one
democrat-Francis OF the wool growing
state of Ohio-voted against it.
| The solid democratic majority in vote
after vote preserved the measure prac-
| tically in the shape it was in when in
dorsed by the democratic caucus.
| The republican fight on the measure
was directed mainly to obtaining a
|postponement OF action on schedule K
until the tariff board should submit its
complete report of the difference in cost
of the production OF wool and its manu-
facturers, which will not be before the
regular session meets next December.
The republican motion to recommit
the bill to the ways and means COM
mittee for this further consideration
! failed by vote Of 11S to 1879.
| The bill. now goes to the senate,
where the democratic senators believe
they can pass it with the aid of the re-
lars as may be impressed by President
Tafts declaration that the wool sched-
ule in the Payne-Aldrich law is en-
defensible"
