! The democratic members of the WAYS

| a wool bill Immediately upon the reas-
Fembing of Congress after the Christmas
holidays or first tackle the steel schedule
A subcommittee of the democratic mem
bership. consisting of Messrs. Palmer,
Hull and Dixon, has drawn up a tenta-
tive bill to reduce the duties on iron and
steel. IT is understood to place iron ore
on the free list and effect reductions of
about - per cent in the general schedules
of the bill.
Some members Of the committee are in
favor of going ahead at once with the
steel schedule and get it over to the
Senate while the House passes another
wool bill.
: Democratic members of the ways and
means committee say they will have to
study the figures of the tariff board on
the wool schedule before they make up
their minds whether to reintroduce the
OIL or last session or prepare a new one.
No man can tell from a cursory glance
at the findings of the tariff board whether
the rates applied by the democratic bill
or last session are justified by the find
ings Of fact.
Must Make Concessions.
Republican members of the ways and
means committee will make 1t their busi-
ness to analyze the rates proposed in

formation furnished by the tariff board
or course, these republicans are still of
the belief that the bill which the Presi-
deHt vetoed last summer would have
wrought injury to wool growers and wool
manufacturers
1hey are now compelled to admit, how
ever, that they must abate some of their
contentious OF last session, and scale
down their figures in view of the findings
OF the tariff board, whose report has been
mdorsed By President Taft.
From now on it will be a case of pull

and the republicans over the rates The
Christmas recess will be utilized by, the
tariff experts of both parties to assimiIate

Every one admits, however that bill
will be passed materially reducing duties
ON wool, and that it will be signed BY the
President.
