SLIDING SCALE
ON Wool TARIFF
Democrats Considering New
Plan of Action.
SlX.CENT RATE AT FIRST

Idea Proposed is to Reduce Tariff a
Cent a Year, Thus Securing Free
Wool Automatically at the End OF
Six Y~eart-Dispute Over This
Schedule Has Stirred Up Consider
able Feeling In Democratic Ranks.
Washington. May 3.-The Democrat
ic members Of the committee on ways
and means, who, much to the distress
of Speaker Clark and his lieutenants,
stand 9 to 5 for free raw wool, are
now considering an alternate PROPOSE
ton, which it appears, may be agreed
upon. This is an immediate rate of 6
cents a pound on the raw wool, with
q reduction of a cent a year in the
rate until at the end of five years wool
automatically goes on the free list.
It has become apparent of late that
the house leaders are very much dis
turbed as a result of the fact that a
majority of the Democratic members
of the ways and means committee as
we'll as a majority of Democrats in
the house itself favor free raw wool.
+ Speaker Clark, Representative I'm
derwood of Alabama, the ways and
means chairman and majority floor
leader; Representative Hammond of
Minnesota and other prominent Demo
Gratis are doing their best to stem the
current of free raw wool sentiment.
Up to date their efforts have met with
little success.
Now that they have put the annual
reduction proposition up to their col
leagues in the tariff framing commit
tee there is a possibility that they
may ave the day for their side by
postponing the placing of the commod
ity on the free list.
Means Fifty Per Cent Cut.
It is the presidential aspirations of
Speaker Champ Clark that are getting
in the way of Democratic plans for an
effective revision Of the wool schedule
of the Aldrich tariff law. The tenta-
tive agreement of the majority of the
ways and means committee that there
shall be sweeping reductions in the
duty upon raw wool and manufactures
Of wool no sooner was announced
than there appeared a strong effort
upon the part of the speakers friends
to change the program and make the
reductions of such a character as to
cause the least offense to the wool
growers.
The particular wool growers upon
which the speaker and his friends are
said to have focused their attention
are those in Ohio, many of whom are
declared to be Democrats.
The matter is causing the first seri-
ous split that has occurred in the
Democratic forces in the house and
there is fear that it will produce last
ing discord and bitterness. Both sides,
however, declare their willingness to
abide by the decision of the caucus.
