 CONVENTION IN SALT LAKE

1T COntlnueu means COHSlueldDlt Ie- duction in the number of sheep that will be allotted to such ranges. We most earnestly urge the officers of the forest service to use every effort to find spring ranges for these cattle on areas other than those to be devoted to sheep grazing, and sufficient sum- mer range for cattle without hiring ing upon existing sheep ranges.
 Forest Officials
 The United States forest service has lost, and will continue to lose, their most valuable men on account of the inadequate salaries paid by the service. The loss of such men is keenly felt by the stockgrowers. We urgently ask for our representatives in congress to secure the enactment of legislation to provide adequate com pensation for the employees of the forest service, which will justify men now in the service remaining and en- courage suitable men to enter the for est service.
 I. w. w. Legislation
 The radicalism of Europe, engen- dered and liberated during the war, has spread to this country, resulting in organized bands of unproductive radicals, spreading discontent and an archy among our people. Many of these agitators are aliens who have developed an express purpose of de- stroying our form of government and instituting in it's place a reign of blood and terror. We most heartily com mend the action of the federal agen- cies in making arrests and deporta- tions and assure the administration of the loyal support of this association. Representing 100 per cent American ism, we will to our utmost support , every means that tends to uphold order and American traditions.
 "K. and k." Bills
 The constant agitation against the packers has had the effect to depre- ciate the value of livestock and to un- settle the livestock markets of the country, to the detriment of the pro. ducer and no benefit to the consumer. We protest against this constant agi- tation and protests against the enact ment of the so-called TX. and k.' bills or any similar bills.
 League of Nations
 The United States senate as soon as possible should enact into binding statute the league of nations pact, safeguarding American interests to the fullest extent by all the reserva- tions that they deem necessary to se- cure this result. Reservations must be so strong as to leave no doubt as to any constitutional limits. The Amer ican constitution must be preserved in all it's Americanism. If the league cannot be passed in this condition, then declare the war at an end, as far as the United States is concerned.
 Interstate Commerce Commission
 The interstate commerce commission at present has no member from the territory northwest of the Mississippi river. As soon as practicable a mem Der who has expert knowledge of traf- fic conditions, and resident of this western country, should be appointed by the commission.
 For Double-deck Cars
 We urge our railroads to experi- ment with adjustable double-deck cars, and, if proven satisfactory, to equip their single-deck stock cars with the devices.
 Dumping" Wool
 The present stock of wool in the United States is the largest ever held in this country, and with our domestic clip soon to be marketed, is adequate to meet our needs for a long period. Great Britain likewise possesses large stocks of wool above her own require ments, which she proposes to dump into this country through wool auc- tions in Boston. Due to the present. cost of production, wool cannot profit ably be grown in the United States at less than present prices. We protest against the dumping of such foreign wools into our midst and especially call upon congress to speedily enact such legislation as will protect us from such competition.
 Pure Fabrics
 The large part of the raw material used in the manufacture of woolen fabrics and apparel, sold as all wool, is shoddy and substitutes. We urge that in protection of both the public and the woolgrowers of this country, that congress, at the earliest possible moment, make it compulsory to make known the presence of substitutes for virgin wool, especially shoddy and substitutes in fabrics purporting to contain wool, and apparel made from such fabrics.
 Marketing of Wool
 We condemn the policy of contract ing wool in advance of shearing, and urge our growers to hold their wool until it is shorn and then to consign to a commission warehouse not in the business of buying and speculating in wool.
 Destroying Coyotes
 The number of coyotes in western states has materially increased in the past year. The value of coyote pelts
