WASHINGTON, June 3.-By a strict
party vote the house ways and means

wooden schedule of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law as presented TO the Demo
cratic caucus on Wednesday.
The measure will be reported to the
house on Tuesday and called up by
Chairman Underwood dem. Ala) on
Wednesday.
Denouncing the wool bill introduced
by the Democrats as a measure to re-
duce wool instead of the tariff on
wool" and declaring II TO be political
proposition not intended to be enacted
into law, Rep. z. j. Hill, OF Connecu-
cut, on eof the leading Republican tar
IN experts, today made public state
ment on the proposed bill.
Il declares that the proposed wool
schedule coupled with the present
duty on fabrics Is worse than free
wool for the grower would have his
market taken away and would be
forced to sell at prices fixed in Lon
don. II says that by adopting the
wool schedule the Democratic house
proposes to throw upon the Republt

such tariff rates as will maintain the
industry in this country.
Referring to the declaration that the
proposed rate will continue to furnish
revenue by increased importations the
statement says:
"If we are to come within a million
and a half dollars Of getting the same
revenue as in 1910, we must necessary
ly import In the grease and In the

there can be but one conclusion. that
is that this must supplant and displace
