Democratic wool tariff bill presented to caucus in Washington
Washington, June 1. The Democratic wool tariff bill from the Ways and Means Committee is presented to the Democratic caucus at noon. It cuts duties on raw wool to 20 percent and lowers most wool-related tariffs, aiming to reduce revenue by about 1.35 million dollars, with forecasts of higher wool imports next year. The plan shifts to ad valorem duties for all wool items and names Underwood as a key figure.
