Democratic allies yesterday began
their attack on the wool schedule
OF the tartff bill in the Senate
Senator Lenroot. OF Wisconsin,
leader of the insurgents. prepared
an amendment to be offered this
week, limiting wool duties to .
maximum Of so per cent ad vaiorem.
Lenroot contends that the duty of
80 cents q pound on clean or
secured wool, the key rate Of the
schedule, means that the wool du-
ties range from IS to 1877 per cent
ad valorem. ..
Senator wadsworth. OF New York.
was reported as an addition TO the
insurgent ranks on wool. but some
OF the other Republicans were be-
lieved likely TO support the Finance
Committee. A number of Demo-
Gratis also were reported as favor
ing the committee rates.
When debate was begun on wool.
Senator Walsh, OF Massachusetts.
in a prepared speech. discussed the
proposed rates in comparison with
those of other tariff bills and de-
clared that the new rates would
tend to create an even greater
monopoly of the wool business than
now exists. Profteering and ex-
tortion from the public would fol-
low. he sad. and Congress would
be to blame.
