HOUSE ASKS CONFERENCE
ON PENDING WOOL BILL
Lively Debate Precedes the
Adoption of Motion-Talks
of ProIonging Session.

In accordance with the understanding
reached yesterday by the democratic
leaders the House today, on motion OF
Representative Underwood Of Alabama
chairman OF the committee on ways and
means, asked for a conference with the
Senate on the pending wool bill. This In
dicates. according to republican leaders,
that some sort Of an agreement has been
reached between Mr.. Underwood. acting
for the House democrats and Senator La
Toilette. appearing for the insurgent-dem-
ocrat combine in the Senate, whereby
compromise is to be made on the terms OF
wool bill that is expected to be mutual
ly satisfactory.
Representatives Underwood, Randel on
Texas, Harrison OF New York, Dalzell OF
PENNSYLVANIA and Payne OF New york
were named by Speaker Clark as con-
ferees on the part of the House. The
Senate conferees will probably be named
later in the day. The selection or Repre-
sentative Harrison as a House. conferee
is regarded as significant. AS far as pos
sible in the circumstances he Ia expected
to throw the weight of his influence TOT a
lower rate on raw wool
Mr. Harrison is an advocate OF free
raw wool He agreed to the ~ per
cent rate on the product incorporated
in the Underwood bill only after formal
action by the democratic caucus.
Preceded by Lively Debate.
A lively debate marked the reference
of the wool bill to conference by the
House. Representative Ebenezer Hill
of Connecticut. one Of the leading
standpatters of them all. waxed sar-
castle over democratic revision. He
predicted dire calamity If the demo-
Gratis were permitted to write their
bills into the statutes. Mr. Hill de-
clared that the La Toilette bill, IN all
essentials. was just as bad AZ the
Underwood bill. This measure-the
La Toilette bills without Judgment,
reason or knowledge exclaimed Mr..
Hill There is no choice between these
measures. It's just question as TO
whether the wool trade is to be killed
by a bullet or stabbed to death. Sub
stantially, the La Toilette bill is draft
ed along the lines of the wool schedule
of the Wilson act, which had the enect
Of closing practically every factory IN
the land. And your cotton bill Will
prove just as disastrous to the Indus
try to which 1t applies"
Representative Underwood ignored the
sarcastic filings Of Representative Hill.
Replying to a question put by Represent
alive Mann, the minority leader, Repre-
sentative Underwood said that If the
pending bills passed the Senate and the
House the democrats would proceed
with the revision OF the Payne-Aldrich
law.

Vote Down Bailey's Amendment.

With bread and meat eliminated from
the free list articles, the bill was offered
by Senator Bailey. democrat, of Texas, as
an amendment to the Canadian reciproc-
ity bill. but the friends of reciprocity
voted II down.
Late IN June Senator Penrose. chairman
OF the finance committee, proposed that
July c6-nearly a month off-be fixed as
the date for voting on the free list bill,
but Senator La Toilette objected because
vote on reciprocity was also included in
the proposition.
Senator Watson made another unsuc-
cessful effort to get the date fixed for
voting July IL, an objection of Senator
Cummins preventing. Three days later,
however, the Senate gave its consent to a
vote on 1t today, and it was in accord
ance with that agreement that the votes
were taken this afternoon.
One remarkable feature of the bills
passage through the Senate is that, al
though 1t is a tariff measure, not q sin
gle speech has been made on it. 1t was
briefly discussed, when offered as an
amendment to the reciprocity bill. but
there has been no set or prolonged
speeches on the bill in general. Some
were expected yesterday. but the deter
mination OF the democrats not to con-
slider any amendments. other than that
affecting bread and meat, has put q
camper on discussion.
