PRESIDENT VETOES WOOL BILL
Declares That Low Rates of Compro-
mise Measure Would Bring Disaster
to Industry in This Country.

Neutrality-suspicious. the second time
within a year President Taft on Friday
vetoed a bill to revise the wool tariff
schedule *" of the ~Payne-Aldrich
law.
The president returned to congress
the bill evolved as a compromise be-
tween the house and senate, holding
that its low rates would bring disas-
ter to home industry. He appealed to
congress, however. not to adjourn I'M
til it had enacted a measure "substan-
TALLY to reduce unnecessary existing
duties" without destroying protection
for the wool industry in the United
States.
The presidents disapproval of the
wool bill is to be followed with similar
vetoes of the steel bill and the cotton
bill. The sugar bill is likely to be We
toed, as is the excise bill, the lat
ter probably on the ground that the
president believes it unconstitutional.
