unusually bitter controversy cropped
out In tbe beginning of the wool
tarlf'j'ebate In the House of Rep-
rYi4t)rM today.
Douoi ratio Leader Vndcrwood de-
voted tha entire afternoon to an ex-
planation of tha proposed revision
of the wool tariff attacking the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law and the Re-
publican party.
He was met at almost every stage
or hii argument by former Chairman
Payne now ranking Republican on
tho Ways and Means Committee and
by other Republicans who question-
ed his statement.
I'mlerwood during the course of
his argument declared that the
American Woolen Company dictated
the action of the Republican Con-
gresa on the wool tariff.
He said that If 'the present tariff
board goes on for ten years as It Is
gjing on at present we would not
get enough Information on the wool
schedule to writ a tariff bill."
He aald that he was convinced
t'nnt "either the board refused to
give up the facts we called for. even
with th President's sanction or
else the board has wasted a quar
ter of a million dollars In Its work.'
