Wool Statement Calls Duty Misleading and Dangerous
Salt Lake City December 27 F R Marshall secretary of the Nation Woolgrowers association denounces a claim that the Fordney emergency tariff would double clothing prices. He says the assertion misrepresents committee work and that wool price and clothing price are not directly linked. He notes the bill’s 45 cent duty on scoured wool, the 3.25 pounds needed for a suit, and argues the duty would not raise manufacturers costs by that amount and may aid American wool in markets.
