INQUIRY PROPOSED BY BERGER
Asks That Garment Making Trade
Be Looked Into
DANGER IN PRESENT CONDITIONS

Washington. Jan 21.-Witnesses,
representing the national associations
of wool manufacturers, growers, inn
pOrtcrs. clothiers and Independent.
manufacturers, were before the ways
and means committee today when the
wool schedule, one OF the most cont
plicated features to come before the
extra session, was taken up.
The general expectation among the
House Democrats Is that the commit %
tee will report at the outset of the
extra session virtually the same
wooden schedule as was incorporated
in the wool bill vetoed by Taft The
average al valorcm duty schedule of
the present law is almost sixty pes
cent. The Democratic bill that serves
as a tentative basis of the present
consideration provides very much
lower duties.
Frank l.. Bennett. Of Boston, editor
of the American Wool and Cotton Re

the Wilson law of 1891. This vasapleu
for the entire removal of the duty on
wool, and a reduction of the tariff OF
woolen goods to fifty per cent. Hc
said that would be in the interest of
both the manufacturers ana of the
sheep husbandry by encouraging the
growers to keep improbable animals
The present duty is 80 cents a pound
on secured wool. which imposed "a taS
of nearly $4,000 900 upon the hmeri

manufacturers, he said.

Garment Making Inquiry Proposed.
Washington, Jan. 27.-Thc appoint
ment of special committee of seven
members to inquire into conditions
surrounding the garment making
trade and recent strike in New York
was proposed today in a resolution by
Rep. Berger, Socialist, of Wisconsin.
Berger sets forth that the New York
clothing industry supplies the trade OF
a large section of the country, through
Interstate trade; that the wages Of
the industry are SO low that health
surroundings aud a decent standard oi
living have become almost impossible
that vice and crime are bred Of need
less misery coincident to the manu-
facture of the nations clothing; and
that the manufacture is carried on in
nfthy, unsanitary places, saturated
with germs of consumption. small
pox. scarlet fever and other contagious
diseases"
