THAT DEMOCRATIC WOOL BILL
Western Press.

Western Press.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March c.
In keeping with Democratic sympathy
for the poor mans pocketbook, bill
providing for a tariff on wool of not
more than cents per pound will be
presented to congress within the next
thirty days. The bill will be drawn
personally by Oscar w. Underwood,
chairman of the house committee on
ways and means. If the Democratic
members of the house are convinced
that the income tax bill, recently
agreed upon by Democratic caucus,
will pass in the senate, the proposed
new bill will provide for free wool.
A careful analysis of the wool re-
port make by President Taft's tariff
commission is complete and in the
hands Of the committee. From au-
thoritative sources it is learned the
analysis shows duty Of 0 1-2 cents
per pound affords complete effective
tariff wall around the wool industry

LONDON, March 6.--The strike sit

OF settlement wrought by other
means than long battle between the
operators and the miners.
The railway employees union has Of
Tered to call a national sympathetic
strike on all railroads but the general
council of miners has refused to ac-
cept the offer at this time although
the railroad men were assured that
their spirit was appreciated and might
be taken advantage Of later. Thus the
miners possess new weapon in their
negotiations. A national railroad
strike is their own prerogative.
The strike is having a serious sf-

1t was decided today to cancel the
trips of the New York and Phila-
delphia on March IS and 20, respec-
lively. The Olympic, which was de-

should have steamed from Southamp-

ST. PETERSBURG.-Unable to OBJ
