Psyc h o-A nalyst Says Vice Is Often Simply An Excess Of Virtue LONDON, July 2 8. (By A. P.)

LENROOT LEADS ATTACK Chairman and 'Members of Finance Committee Defend Proposed Rates. WASHINGTON, July 28. Assaults on the wool chcdule of the tariff bill were continued Friday from "th sides of .ne enat with proponents striking: bck vigorously and .'-! cut cit each o' the :hr- r.ll c!ls tal.cn during th seven . hours' session. DUcusalon waa so extended that committee amendments In on-y rragraph were disposed of. but the senate waa ready for a vote. .on another parapragh at the finish, and leaders were hopeful, but not all confident, that consideration of the schedule could be completed Saturday. Sen. Lenroot, republican Wiscon ln, created something of a ftlr early in the day by asserting that there was intentionally concealed protection In the schedule for the manufacturers of woolen cloth, while late In the day. Sen. Nelson, republican, Minnesota, made a characteristically vigorous attack on the wool rates in particular and the whole bill in general. "Love's Labor Lost" -This is 'love's labor lost,'" Sen. Nelson said in summing' up. "We are in the hands of wool Philistines. They have us by the throat, and perhaps it would be wiser to take the medicine in silence and turn your head toward Providence and hope to get relief from that source." Onslaughts from the democratic side were made by Sens. Walsh of Massachusetts; Simmons. North Carolina, and Pomerene, Ohio. Calling attention to the fact that the finance committee majority upon reaching the wool schedule, had ceased to make appreciable cuta in rates as it had done with a number of ether schedules. Sen. Simmoas said wool was "the very keystone" which had bound the republicans together in "a hard and fast compact;" that if the rate on raw wool were cut down "look out for rebellion on the part of the agricultural bloc; look out for the slaughter' of your high rates upon the manufactured articles." Charging that Sen. Gooding, republican. Idaho, - was the "master mind" in connection with wool schedule. Sen. Simmons declared he had "forced terms upon the republican party In the senate and he was not going to let them out." Defends Duties. Defending the protective duties proposed on cloths. Chairman McCumber of the finance committee, said they were lower than the t.ir'it commission and other experts had calculated would be necessary t equ-illze conversion costs in this country and abroad. As to the compensatory rates, he asserted they were necessary because of the raw wool rate and that this mußt be conceded by all those informed on the subject. Sen. Smoot. Utah in charge f the bill for the committee majority, defended the rates on cloth for men's suits and overcoats, and presented a translation of a copy of a wage oor.tract betw-een manufacturers and their employer? in the German rthineland. showing that male workers received w e kly wages expressed In American money ranglr from 7 4.8 cents for 14 year old boys, to $2. SO for grown men, and ' from .'. cents to $2 1$ a week in the case of female operatives. Sen. Watson, repub'.ic-in. Indiana, also placed into the record figures prepared by the tariff commission on wages paid by workers in various industries in 15 cities in Germany.
