Wool schedule conclusion reached by Senate Finance Committee
The Senate Finance Committee has nearly finalized the wool schedule proposing rates of ten cents for first class, eleven for second class, seven cents for high value third class and four cents for third class under ten cents. These figures, while not ideal to high tariff advocates, may be accepted with little protest. The rest of the paper schedule was completed quickly and coal was idle. An amendment to eight cents per gross of matches was carried against opposition. A ten percent duty on safety fuses failed on a tie vote, Pettigrew losing the amendment.
