convention of the National Wool Grow
ers' Association opened here this morn
ing at the Tabor Grand opera house
the meeting being called to order by
Vice President Jesse M. Smith
After the annual reports of officers had
been read committee of seven was
appointed to consider the proposed re
organization of National Live Stock
Association with instructions to report
to the general body of the Wool Grow
ers' Association at as early date al
possible. The proposed reorganization
is based upon the various branches Of
the live stock industry, each branch be
ing considered as unit, and the repre-
sentatives of that unit to be regarded
as standing for the same interests in
the annual livestock conventions
which of late have become unwieldy
on account of the large number of dele.
gates. Each branch of the industry is
to be controlled by general commit
tee of it's own members and the sole ex-
| ecutive authority of the national organ
ization will be confined to commit
tee composed of representatives from
/ each branch of the live stock indus.

As intimated in today's di~patches in

to consider a revision Of the contitu-
ton and bylaws of this organization,
SO as to provide for a more liberal rep
resentation of the various branches OF
the live stock industry upon business
basis that will permit Of active CO.
operation, without unnecessary inter-
ference with the affairs of any inter-
est. BY order of the board of control,
therefore, the representatives of all in
terests involved in the breeding, grow
ing, feeding, transportation, marketing
and manufacture of live stock products
have been invited to attend this con-
vention and participate in a general
conference, looking towards such revi-
sion and amendment to the constitution
tion and bylaws Of this association
as will produce a more active and har-
monious cooperation between the va
rious branches Of the live stock indus
try.
1t has been suggested that the con-
stitution and bylaws OF the associa-
ton be revised at this meeting so as
to recognize, as the basis of organiza-
tion, the various branches and inter
ests of the live stock industry, allow
| ing each branch a representation in
the association upon such plan as will
permit of the fullest cooperation with.
