the duty on the importation of both
raw wool and manufactured wool.
Mr.. Fawcett presented the dire nec-

Of domestic woods and showed briefs
comparing the cost of production of
freign-grwn and domestic woods. He
declared that the wool growing indus
try of the United States must be pro-
tected or the standard of living and the
value of the property of wool produc-
ers must be reduced to foreign levels.
A plea was made that duties be levi

basis for all wool transactions in the
trade. This has been recommended by
both tariff commissions.
