REPUBLICANS DISAGREE ON WOOL SCHEDULE. 3 h n d Progressive Element to Support La Follette’s Amendment. s Washington, July 28—A division in the ranks of Tepublican senaters over the tariff revision fignt became appar- ent today when nearly a dozen republi- cans began a series of conferences to perfect substitute schedules that will be offered to the tariff bill under the leadership of Senators La Follette and Cummins.

The Smoot substitute was prepared some time ago and in- troduced at the time the democralic tariff bill ‘came back from the finance committee, The Drogressive republi- cans have’ practically agreed to center thoir fight about the La Follette substi- fute In the hope that they can carey the balance of the republican party with them and possibly win democrais away from President Wilsan's free wool plan, Progress on the tariff was slow in the senate today, Prepared speeches s £ o f ubilanns held fled ftems which the ment and to bring about a new align- ment of the republican forces. Sena- tor La Follatie's eotton and wool sub- stitutes and Senator Cummins’ metal substitutes were under consideration in the conference today and probably will be supported by the progressives. It is expected that substitute sugar tariff similar to that which Senator Bristow succeeded in getting through the senate in the last session of con- Bress will have the Pprogressive strength.
