1t was an important moment in the
wool industry when the final matter
OF signing papers was reached. Pre-
ceding 1t there had been season after
season of agitation, Of conscious knowl-
edge growing more certain each year
that the buyers who came west pulled
a good deal of wool over the eyes of
the growers, and finally of organized
opposition to prevailing conditions.
Meeting the problems singly ana
alone the Utah woolmen had planted
6,OOo.OO0 pounds of wool In an eastern
warehouse to sell after the organized
movement to slump the market it
passed. Wyoming, taking the same i'll
ltiative, had slowed away an equal
amount in Omaha. Then Wyoming
growers and Utah growers got to talk
ing il over. They called in the services
OF tho national association, and the ma
tional association, after a long session
III salt Lake, called in the services Of
special committee on investigation
ana discoveries.
CHICAGO WINS.
The meeting yesterday was the re-
mittec. AT the earlier meeting there
mad been present representatives from
haif dozen leading western cities, all
ANXIOUS to be made the wool center of
America so that thereby they might
a s,,ta wool nannfacturlng plants.
with these came w. IL. Manss, repre-
Senting the Chicago association which
recently had Candidate TAFT sit along
side Of Candidate Bryan aud pass COM
plinents one to the other in the heat
of the campaign. Manss showed him
self q master of the art of presenting
his case favorably, and III a very short
time had won to the cause of Chicago
a large majority of those Interested in
storing wool.
When the committee went east TO
look over all the cities that had applied,
one day was sufficient in each Of the
cities until Chicago was reached. Then
it took II days to accomplish results,
and look over all the propositions Of
fered.
cago's interests appeared in yesterdays
proceedings for the name Of Chicago
loomed large through the title OF the
storage organization in which the
shcepmen signed for stock.
