WAS TO BE EXPECTED.
Wool Manufacturers Will Fight Gros-
venor's "Mixed Goods" Bill.

Wool Manufacturers Will Fight Gros-
venor's "Mixed Goods" Bill.
When the National Association of
Livestock Growers meets at POLAND
the Grosvenor bill intended to prevent
the sale of shoddy goods as pure
wool will come up for considerable
discussion. The measure has the full
endorsement of the association and
the sheepmen of the country, regard
less Of location, are also deeply in
terested in it's success. The flock
masters of this state long ago placed
themselves on record as favoring the
bill and have made special appeals for
it's passage.
AS was to be expected the men at
whom it is aimed are not very en-
thusiastic over the prospect of legis-
lation compelling them to be honest,
and they are preparing to make a hard
fight against the bill when it comes
up for passage. The following, taken
from the American Wool and Cotton
Reporter, gives a fair idea as to how
the measure is regarded by the east
ern manufacturers of cheap goods.
The first one quoted is designated as
a 'seller of popular-priced goods"
"The more I consider this proposed
mixed goods bill, the more surprised
l become that such a bill could be
framed and put forward in a serious
manner. 1t is a blind measure, which,
if passed and enforced, would not in
crease the consumption of wool by one
pound. 1t would not benefit the wool
grower in the slightest. 1t would not
benefit the final consumer any and it
certainly would not add to the bust
ness or profit of the maker or seller
of piece goods and garments. OF what
advantage then is a measure which
confers no benefits but adds to the
difficulties and hazard of an import
ant Industry"
I'm my opinion" remarked a wors-
ted man, manufacturers and sellers
of piece goods and clothing should
get together and prove to the interests
back of this bill that they are able to
put a quick quietus to it. do not
believe that the trainers of the bill
expected that they could get such a
radical measure through congress and
the senate. 1t is a misdirected piece
of legislation. If such a law was pass
ed and enforced it would increase the
cost of production and would tend te
increase, rather than diminish, thu
s of substitute materials, thereb.
reducing the wool consumption"
"The proposition to subject manu-
{ facturers to the regulations Of the in
ternal revenue department and plac
them under continued surveillance i
exceedingly Objectionable. The who'll
proposition is repugnant and unneces
e sary. It is absolutely senseless," sal
i another agent.
Said another factor: "The voc
growers have made a big mistake il
introducing such a measure. 1t hash
the least chance of passage. 1t i
g utterly impracticable-a thorough
one-sided measure, which would COME
great harm on an important industr
a while benefiting no one"

Considering the results that FOL
lowed the attempt made in the north
fern part of the state a few nights ago.
lit is not likely that whitecapping will
assume the proportions of a popular
form of amusement in Montana. The
only regrettable matter in connection
with the affair is that the intended
victim Of the outrage did not shoot
with more accuracy and precision.
