l
| Portland, Or, Dec. l9.-That Tafts
! ling at the hands of the wool growers
Of America at the annual convention
! scheduled for Portland, Jan. 4, 8, and
:, Is the frank prediction OF sheep rails
| crs. This message holds out little hope
| to the wool growers and they regard 1t
| as settled that he regards the wool and
| woolens schedule as indefensIblc, for
| he has said so on Il number of occa-
sions.
It is felt that so long as President
Taft feels that majority of the people
want the schedule revised, whether the
industry will be wrecked or not, he will
stand by his original program for the
rcopening OF the schedule and some
changes in the duties on wool and
woolens, although he has stated on
numerous occasions. It is said, that
he Is not after the woolgrowcrs, but
rather the manufacturers.
Growers are naturally hoping that
Congress will not dig into the tariff
on wool until the tariff board has had Il
chance to report. The fear is general,
however, that revision of schedule X IS
inevitable and this Is causing n de-
pressed feeling among sheepmen every
where. The tariff talk that Will be
heard will be n biz feature of the COM
ing convention. Strong speakers have
been secured to discuss the situation
and advise way out. Edward NOR.
