Urgent Wool Tariff Measure Suggested by Republicans
Washington March 1 A proposal to enact wool claim of the new tariff as an emergency measure to curb heavy anticipated importations is under consideration by Republican members of the Ways and Means Committee and leaders in both houses. If adopted the schedule would be introduced as an independent measure passed by the House after brief debate and sent to the Senate for quick action. It would operate from the enactment date until the tariff bill takes effect, to prevent revenue loss from wool imports during the interim if Congress slows the tariff bill.
