MEASURE. PASSES.

Democrats and lnsuroent Republicans
Unite to Win vote.-Reduces
Raw Duty to Thirty-five
Per Cent.

Washington, July ga compromise
wool bill offered by Senator LaFol-
lette Of Wisconsin, a modification Of
both his own and the house bill, was
passed by the senate 48 to 80 through
the union Of Democrats and Republi1
can insurgents. Upon this middle
ground the Democrats, having secured
q record vote on the original Under
wood bill Joined with the Republican
insurgent forces.
The measure adopted reduced the
raw wool duty to 35 per cent ad valo-:
rem and correspond1ngly reduces the;
duties on WOODEN articles:
There is some doubt as to what
course the house Democrats will pur-
sue with regard to the compromise
bill. House Leader Underwood sew,
eral days ago served notice that the;
house would not accept the original
LaFollette bill.
Although President Taft has made
no definite utterance to that effect it
has been strongly intimated at the
White House from time to time that he
might feel called upon to veto wool
bill, passes in advance of report on
that schedule for the tariff board.
La Toilette Defends Amendments,
In offering amendments PROPOSE
ing reductions in the duties ON
wooden goods Senator La Follette
OF Wisconsin, in speech before
the senate, took the position that
these reductions, if adopted, would
compensate the farmers, at least in
part, for the losses they will suffer as
a result of free trade in agricultural
products with Canada.
They will" the speaker continued.
In some measure relieve all of the
people of the United States who have
been made to pay tribute to the wooden
trust, long the pampered favorite of
the tariff law. Two years ago, at the
time we were considering the present
tariff act, which left Schedule X prac
tically unchanged, I proposed certain
amendments. These amendments I
have modified and offer as an amend
ment to the pending bill l believe
that the duties proposed by me on
manufactured cloth are greater than
are necessary to protect American
manufacturers from European compe-
tition. However, bearing in mind that
this is but temporary measure to
be followed, as I hope, by a more
thorough-going revision and with the
purpose of meeting the views of ma
jority of the senate to the end and
that some reduction may be promptly
secured, shall offer for present con-
sideration changes in the woolens
schedule.
"The effect of the amendments to
Schedule K, which I now propose. are
as follows:
tDuty on clothing woods, 40 per
cent; carpet woods 10 per cent: tops.
As per cent; yarn, SO per cent; car
pets, 40 per cent; on cloths and all
other manufactures composed entirely
of wool or having wool as the com
ponent material of chief value; 60 per
