reduction in the higher duties pro-
posed on coarse raw wool and manu-
factures OF that wool, little Of which
is produced in this country.
Senator Lenroot, who conducted
successful fight against some of the
rates in the cotton schedule. said
there was considerable number of
republican senators dissatisfied with
the duties to which he had objected
and that he was hopeful of getting an
agreement with the committee ma
5ority for a maximum duty Of 60 per
cent. Should his effort in this direction
prove unfruitful, however. it is his
plan 10 make hght in the Senate.
The wisconsin senator estimated
that the duties On the coarse wool
products ranged from 26 per cent to I27
per cent. He made it plain that he was
not opposing the committee duties on
the hne grades Of wool either in the
raw state or manufactured products.
