\I‘A‘SIIINGTON. Jan. iii—in an at-
tack upon the Drilllfif'f‘lttlt‘ party for its
record in the (‘xira session of Congress
last. summer, Representative Hill, of
Connecticut. a Republican member of
the ways and means committee, de-
clared in the House yesterday that the
extra session had demonstrated the ln~
ability of the Democrats to do eon-

Mr, Hill especially attacked the
Democratic tariff reform. He insisted
that the free wool advocates, though
greater in the majority when the tariff
session began. had surrendered to
those who favored a duty on wool Ibe-
cauee the wool duty force was strong
enough to combine with the Republl- ‘

House. He said:
