Big Wool Surplus.
There are in the United States
today sufficient woods to carry the
mills at full capacity for two or
three years and If immediate ac-
ton is not taken to prohibit the
importations of foreign woods from

that the necessary steps to be taken
by congress to prevent a serious ca
lamity in the United States is the
placing of an embargo on the inn
portations of foreign woods, meats,
meat animals, hides, sheep pelts

situation Grave.
THE general public of the Unit
ed States is seriously affected at
present by the stagnation of bust
ness in the manufacturing centers,
brought about by lack Of conf

the future stability of industry,
with the wool growers of the ma

dreds of thousands of livestock at
sacrificial prices and other pro-
ducers meeting q similar fate, the
public's reduced buying power and
other trades to purchase from the
manufacturers, thus unemployment
Is being greatly felt throughout the
country and unless remedial legis-
latiln is enacted by the present
congress that will create more sta
BILE conditions, thus restoring con-
Gidence in all lines of industry, we
are facing a serious panic"
