RAW WOOL ON
THE FREE LIST
House Caucus Gives Big Majority
for the Schedule.
ONLY AZ MEMBERS OBJECTED
Missouri Representative Charges Un'
due Influence by President
Underwood Defends
Wilson.

Washington, April 1.-THE Dem
ocratic caucus voted decisively late
yesterday to support the wool sche-
dule of the Underwood tariff bill,
placing raw wool on the free list,
after Representative Underwood had
made a stirring appeal for the sup
port of the caucus.
Representative Dies of Texas Of
fered an amendment to place an ad-
valorem duty of 1 per cent on raw
wool. He and other champions OF
dutiable wool insisted that this was
the judgment of the ways and means
committee before President Wilson
saw the bill and suggested a change.
Representative Underwood defend
ed both the committee and the
president. He declared that the
president had a right to make sug-
gestions to congress relating to the
tariff, but that the bill as a whole
met with the chief executives APP
prevail as it came from the commit
tee.
"Out of 1000 and more items In
the bill" said Mr.. Underwood, the
president only made two suggestions,
those affecting the sugar and wool
schedules. 1t seems to me that we
should accept those suggestions from
the president Of the United States"
Representative Alexander OF Mis-
souri, declared that the committee
overstepped proper bounds in hold
ing up President Wilson as a club
over the heads of the members and
that the president had exerted "un-
due influence in having wool placed
on the free list on the BILL"
Representative Montague OF Vir-
ginia defended the president, de-
claring that 1t was his "constitu-
tional and inherent right" to suggest
what should go in a tariff bill.
