| on the democratic bill as it passed the
House followed.
Loyal to House Bill.
AS had been expected, the initial roll
calls on the La Toilette and on the DEM
| ocratic schedules resulted in the defeat
of both. On the roll call on the La
Toilette amendment democrats remained
loyal to the House bill by voting unani-
| n1ously against it.
The La Toilette proposition received
only fourteen votes. These were cast
by thirteen insurgents and by Senator
Nelson, who has not Joined the pro
gressive league" but who is considered
near-insurgent. Senator McCumber an
nounced pair, but stated that IL privi
legged to vote he would have voted for
the La Toilette schedules. There were
sixty-six negative votes.
On the initial roll call on the wool
bill, as it was passed by the House, the
insurgents remained loyal to the La Fol
lette substitute by voting against it. The
democrats unanimously supported it, and
one republican, Brown of Nebraska,
voted for it. The vote was So ayes to A.
Hardly had the Vice President an
nounced that the bill was disagreed to-
when the parliamentary jockeying, by
which the wool tariff revisionists hoped to
push through some kind of measure. be-
Senate reconsider the vote by which the
House bill was defeated; and he asked
for roll call 1t was evident that the
temper Of the Senate was to be tested
by the vote. but the result was fore
gone conclusion.
By the united votes Of democrats and
insurgents, the motion to reconsider was
adopted, the vote being 40 to 81. Voting
for the motion were all the republican in
surgents and two NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Mel
son and McCumber. The recognized re-
publican regulars were the only ones to
votes against the motion.
Cut of Per Cent.
With the bill once more before the Senate,
Mr.. La Toilette at once offered his com
promise substitute. with rates between
his former substitute and the democratic
House bill. The rate on raw wool is cut
from 40 to 35 per cent, and the rates on
manufactures of wool are cut accordingly.
No one could predict the result, and
there were many whispered conferences
on the floor. Some said 1t would pass
others that the democrats would not sup
port it and that 1t would be defeated
When the roll was started there was
breath1ess silence in the chamber. News
that the climax Of the big fight had been
reached spread through the Capitol, and
members Of the House. clerks and other
employees Of the Senate filled all the
standing room.
Only few names had been called when
1t became apparent that the substitute
would pass.
THE democrats are voting for it," was
whispered through the galleries. It was.
of course anticipated that the insurgents
would support it. And the passage Of
the motion to reconsider indicated that,
the combination of insurgents and demo-
Gratis would win.
The result was announced amid pro-
found silence4S ayes and 80 noes.

Only Market for Grower.

Mr.. Smoot admitted that he was inter-
ested In protecting the wool manufac-
turer as we'll as the wool grower, be-
cause the manufacturer is the only pur-
chaser Of the products Of the wool grow
er. There is sentiment. he continued,
that there is wool manufacturers mo-
nopoly. But any one who understands
the manufacture OF wool would not make
such a statement. he said because a
monopoly is impossible.
There are 1000 wooden mills in the
United States, he added, and thirty of
those are owned by the American Wooden
Company. There are 5000 looms in all
and the American Wooden Company has
5000 And he offered. for insertion in the
record. a statement which he said showed
the average profit of the wooden mills in
this country to be less than per cent.
If the Underwood wool bill passes he
said not a wool manufacturer in this
country can live.

La Toilette Says Amendments
Would Recompense Farmers

In offering amendments proposing re-
auctions in the duties on wooden goods
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin took
the position that these reductions, if
adopted. would compensate the farmers,
at least in part, for the losses they will
suffer as result of free trade in agri-
cultural products with Canada.
They WILL" the speaker said, "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 consider
ing the present tariff act, which left
schedule X practically unchanged, l pro-
posed certain amendments. These amerd-
ments j have modified and offer as an
amendment to the pending bill. I believe
that the duties proposed by me on manu-
featured wooden cloth are greater than
are necessary to protect American man
ufacturers from European competition.
However, bearing in mind that this is
but a temporary measure, to be followed,
as I hope, by a more thorough-going re-
vision, and with the purpose of meeting
the views of majority of the Senate to
the end that some reduction may be
promptly secured, 1 shall offer for
present consideration changes in the
wooden schedule.
