Wool Tariff Bill Reported By House Committee
The Wool Tariff bill was reported to the House from the Ways and Means Committee led by Chairman Underwood. The bold report urges rapid printing of 5 000 copies and criticizes the President and the Tariff Board as ineffective for Congress. The document links Taft’s past critiques of the Payne Aldrich wool schedule to the new measure and questions data from the Tariff Board on wool and woolens.
