Wool tariff clash splits House leaders and Taft veto hope
Democratic leaders in the House reject a conciliatory wool tariff compromise with the Senate. Chairman Underwood and Harrison warn against endorsing a protective measure while Taft is believed likely to veto. Allies push a straight revenue bill, betting the President signs any agreement in conference, with the fate of broader tariff legislation resting in the House. The debate centers on raw wool duties and the La Follette proposal, with plans for a farmers free list and possible 30 percent ad valorem stance shaping the stalemate.
