This would mean the passage of the measure on Monday, Aug. 18. Allowing two weeks for conference on matters in dispute between the Senate and the House, the measure should be com- pleteq early in September.

The precise date when Schedule K, including wool and its manufac- tures, shall become a law has nnt; been fixed.
