![["Sylvan I. Stroock, the President of S. Stroock & Co., Inc., wrote a letter to the House Ways and Means Committee urging them to vote against Bill HR 2652, which proposed an extension of the Trade Agreements Act allowing further reductions in tariff rates.

He highlighted the potential negative impact of reducing tariffs on American industries, particularly in the woolen manufacturing sector, due to lower labor costs abroad.
