TAFT URGED TO
VETO WOOL BILL
Standpat Leaders Confer
With President.
HOUSE DISLIKES MEASURE

Democrats in Lower Branch of Con.
gress In Favor Of Lower Duties Thar
Provided for In La Toilette Bill
Doubtful II Progressives Will Agree
to Further Reduction in the
Schedule.
Washington, July 29 - President
Taft has been urged by several stand
pat Republican leaders of the senate
and house to veto any wool revision
bill agreed upon in the Forthcoming
conference on the house and La Fol
lette compromise wooden measures.
Senator Crane of Massachusetts
Representative Weeks of the same
state and Representative Bertholdt OF
Missouri were among the men who
gave this advice to the president.
1t was their belief, they said, that
Mr.. Taft would not injure himself in
the eyes of the country by vetoing q
wool revision bill not based upon
scientific data furnished by the tariff
board
The congressman advanced the idea
that the senate coalition of the pro
gressive Republicans and Democrats
was an attempt to put the president
''in hole" politically.
While the president himself main
tains silence the intimation is stronger
that he will use the veto.
Amid applause the house received
the new compromise wool bill from
the senate. No action was taken, the
bill being laid on the speakers table
and the cotton tariff revision debate
proceeded with.
House Not Satisfied With Bill.
The wool bill as passed by the sen
ate is not acceptable to the Democrats
Of the house.
The senate must further scale the
rates or there will be no wool revision
at this session of congress.
The key to the situation rests with
the progressive Republicans in the
senate. The Democrats In that body
are In favor of low duties, as shown
by their vote upon the house wool bill
II the Republican progressives can
rally sufficient OF their number to
make, In conjunction with the Demo
Gratis, majority of the senate i'm sup.
port OF much lower duties on wool
some kind of bill can be passed and
sent to the president.
None can now tell whether it is pos.
sible for the senate progressives to
bend down low enough for the Demo.
Gratis to reach up to join hands. The
Democrats reached up Thursday sole
ly to enable a wool bill to be thrown
into a joint conference When it comes
to agreeing upon a bill that may be
enacted into law quite another propo.
sition Is involved.
