Wool leaders oppose bill to cut tariff in wool trade
Washington reports the National Association of Wool Manufacturers urged the House Ways and Means Committee to reject H. R. 1 which would extend the Trade Agreements Act for three years and authorize a 15 percent tariff cut. NAWM Executive VP Edwin Wilkerson argued tariffs on wool textiles are already low and wage offsets would devastate U.S. producers. He blamed lack of tariff policy criteria on Randall Commission and H. R. 1 and urged Congress to reclaim tariff control from the State Department.
