Embargo on Wool Urged by Western Growers in Washington
A delegation of western wool men led by F. J. Hagenbarth urged U S senators to pass an emergency embargo on wool to last until new tariffs. They also floated an equalization plan to impose duties on imports to balance prices, with Australian wool facing about 40 percent duty and a pound from Britain taxed to reflect exchange values. If embargo fails they back the equalization idea and support for tariff relief.
