same for sale in no case less than its fair
value. And local wool dealers are urged
to ship wool only to eastern dealers who
are in the league, and wool growers are
urged to ship wool only to the members
of the league or to sell to local wool
dealers who cooperate with the league.
And we urge that only known friends of
adequate protection for the wool in
dustry be admitted to the league, and
that wool importers be excluded there
from.
Other business interests combine for
mutual advancement and protection,
and why not the wool growers? 1t could
in no sense be called a trust, for the
reason that the importers would hold the
remedy against undue aggressiveness,
but it would result in increasing the
price of domestic woods in the markets,
and make the sale of each years clip
more certain and at more uniform prices.
The Massachusetts manufacturers are
the largest buyers in the United States
of native woods and by their combination
of interests are able to dictate the prices
which are to be paid for wool every year.
To meet that combination a similar one
on the part of the wool growers is neces-
sary.
If the Ohio and New Mexico sheep
men will enter into al agreement to sell
their yearly clip in the manner outlined
in the resolution, it will be a matter of
only a few months at the outside before
the Wyoming, Idaho, Montana and
other wool men would be ready to join
in and strengthen the league with their
influence and business.
The privilege of handling the greater
part Of the American product of wool
would be eagerly sought for by business
firms outside of the importers, and the
plan will be easy of accomplishment, If
properly taken hold of. The wool men
of New Mexico can do no better than to
approach the Ohio Wool Growers Asso-
citation on the subject. The plan once
set in motion will result in making wool
growers in the southwest far more in
dependent of the eastern buyer and his
cut and dried prices.

A Wool Growers LEAGUE.

At the annual meeting of the Ohio
Wool Growers Association, held at
Columbus recently, a resolution was
passed which should meet with the sup
port of the ~flockmasters of New Mexico,
and a combination of Ohio and New
Mexico sheep men on the subject would
result in changing the conditions gov
erning the price of wool in the eastern
markets. The resolution referred to
deals with the price making power OF
the eastern manufacturers of wooden
fabrics. and reads as follows:
Whereas, The average price of Amer
lean woods in the Philadelphia and other
eastern markets is four and one tenth
cents per pound below the price at which
similar woods can be imported, plus the
duty, which shows the existence of a
combination of manufacturers to procure
domestic woods at less than q fair price,
therefore
Resolved, That we urge a sufficient
number Of wool dealers in our principal
markets to organize a league to receive
consignments of all American woods and
to advance money thereon to wool grow
ers and local wool buyers, and hold the
