Wool bill passed by House amid tariff board criticism
The wool bill cleared the House 189 to 82 with 20 Progressive Republicans voting yes. Demos Rucker and Francis did not support, while La Follette Warburton Laferty aided passage. Supporters argued it would cut consumer costs via rebate readjustment, not revenue loss, and an attempted Republican amendment to raise rates failed. The tariff board faced sharp charges of conspired influence and misstated costs.
