SIMMONS AND
SMITH IN TILT
Engage in Lively Discussion When
Wool Bill is Taken up

Washington. July 25.--The Senate
forces for three days tariff fight
that is expected to begin with the
consideration OF the wool bill. which
was to be taken up for amendment
when the senate met. The introduc-
tion by Cummins of a substitute yes
terday had so mixed the plans of the
leaders that the introduction of \
third bill was being talked of. The
sugar bill is next in order.
The Democratic wool bill. reducing
WOOL duties about city per cent. was
taken up bv the Senate. An agreement
was reached to vote upon it before
adjournment. The Republican leaders
were still undecided when the Senate
met in what course To pursue
simmons in bringing NJ the bill, said
the Democrats undoubtedly win ac-
cept a less reduction in the wooden
tariff if it is found impossible to pass
the Democratic house bill.
"Is there any understanding with
the senators on this side Of the cham
her" asked Smith, of Michigan, Re
publican, for the passage of COM
promise bill
There is no understanding" replied
Simmons, but If we cannot get our
bill, and we can get another that Of
fers substantial relief for the people
we undoubtedly will take the other
bill, no matter whether it comes from
the so-called standpat Republicans. or
where it comes from"
Smith demanded of simmons wheth-
er the latter favored free wool.
mo, l do not" replied Simmons He
declared he did not believe the ma
lority of the people waited all the
tariff on wool abolished
The Interchange between the two
senators grew heated as Smith de-
olared the Democrats were trying TO
lead the country into conditions simi-
lar 10 those which affected the sheep
raising industry under the Wilson tar
in law. He declared the Wilson law
had brought ruin to the country, and
made soup houses common"
Simmons declared whatever the ef-
feet of the Wilson law there had not
been that degree OF condemnation
that exists against the Payne-Aldricn
tariff law"
Cummins substitute was taken up
when Simmons concluded II present
ed a marked reduction i'm duties from
the figures of the existing law. but the
reductions were much less than those
of the Democratic house bill. cum
minis declared the wool report of the
tarin board indicated completely the
analysis Of the wool tarinf made by the
late Senator Dolliver in 1909 during
his remarkable attack on the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill The Iowa senator
said he would not vote for the Demo
cratic wool bill because it did not
reach the protective point" but that
he would follow closely the findings
of the tariff board.
AS the debate proceeded the regu-
lar Republicans received sufficient as
surance of support from the Progress
ives to cause them 20 decide 10 intro
duce a bill prepared by Lippitt which
separates wool into three classes The
plan provided for the defeat of the
Cummins substitute and the intro
duction of the Ldppitt bill.
