Wool Consumers Seek Tariff Change to Free Wool
The Wool Consumers Association asks Congress to amend the 1890 tariff schedules to free wool and reduce duties on woolen goods. They argue current rules raise costs for manufacturers and consumers, urging relief through cheaper raw materials and broader access to wool from various countries. The petition cites agricultural downturns and global prices as factors, urging permanent tax relief.
