NO FREE RAW WOOL
AT THIS SESSION.
Democrats Plan Said to Provide for a
Gradual Reduction.

Washington, May 3zThe house
committee on ways and means will be-
gin next week to grind out the tariff
bill providing for revision Of the wool
schedule. Upon this both the demo-
cratic majority in the house and the
democratic membership of the commit
tee are divided, but the committee di
vision is not SO wide assin the past
few weeks. 1t is the policy of Speak
er Clark, Majority Leader Underwood
and other democratic leaders not to
submit to this congress q bill placing
raw wool ON the free list. Many dem
ocrats want raw wool on the free list.
Others believe that the schedule should
not be so radically revised at this time.
That majority of the democrats on
the ways and means committee favor
ed free raw wool until a few days ago
there is no doubt. but a majority of
democrats could not swing such a bill
even in committee, nor could a ma
jority of democrats in the house ef-
feet the passage of such a bill.
