Advises Woolgrowers to Urge On
!. Congress Need Of Protection
Against Foreign Wool.
80 PER CENT OF YEARS CLIP
STILL HELD BY GROWERS
Says Industry Will be Ruined if
Other Nations Are Allowed to
Use This Country as Dumping
Ground for Their Wool Surplus.
BOSTON, Mass, Oct. Is, 1920.

DOOlOAN, AhdoS.1 wv. 1Os lOAVs
Iron Springs Sheep Company, Cedar
City, Utah. Dear Sirs:-The wool po-
sition in the United States today is
roughly as follows:
LIST. At least 900 of the 1920 do
nestle clip is still owned by the wool
growers and is either directly in their
possession or else inc the hands of
their commission agents.
End. An enormous surplus of for
eign wool was created throughout the
war period, estimated to amount to
over two billion pounds. On top of
this surplus comes the clip grown in
the Southern Hemisphere in 1920
which are now being shorn.
3rd. 1t is proposed to use the Unit
ed States as dumping ground for
these surplus stocks, and If this is al
lowed, the wool growing industry OF
the United States will be ruined be-
yond all hope of recovery.
4th. There is Republican majority
in the present Senate and House OF
Representatives, which meet early in
December. There are also a number
of Democratic Senator's and Repre-
sentatives who are heartily in favor
Of an embargo against dumping OF
this foreign surplus wool in the Unit
ed States.
9Th. Urgent representation should
be made by every wool grower to his
Senator and Representative to the eff.
feet that unless Congress takes some
action towards preventing the dump.
ing of these foreign surplus stocks IN
the United States, either through an
embargo or through tariff, that the
wool growing industry in the United
States will be ruined beyond recovery
The war proved that it was most es-
sential that this country should raise
a large percentage of its wool con-
sumption.
We urge you to Immediately take
the matter up with your Senators anc
Representatives and acquaint then
with the dire necessity of action TO,
the preservation of the Wool Growing
Industry. Yours very truly,
JEREMIAH WILLIAMS & co.
4S1 Summer St., Boston.
Iron County record. [volume] (Cedar City, Utah) 1893-1982, 1920-10-22

The above letter tells it's own story.
Wool and sheep have made this coun-
try. Without a market for our wool
and lambs we are lost, and are doomed
for the greatest stringency in our
history. 1t will mean the hating of
every improvement and every devel-
opment. It will mean the ruination of
our banks, our stores and every other
line of business.
Is the League of Nations the only
issue in this campaign, as some of our
campaign orators would lead you to
suppose? Are not we of Iron county
a hundred times more vitality interest
ed in the preservation of our country
and it's vital industries than in the
ratification of the Covenant of the
League of Nations?
Salt Lake City recently called for
a resident Of Cedar City to tell the
Municipal League Of the State "How
you put things over in Cedar City"
We do not know what explanation
was given, but if it was the truth and
the whole truth, it must have includ-
ed the information that residents of
Cedar City own more sheep and con-
troll more range than any other city
in the state, regardless of population,
and that the "woolies" are doing it.
Therefore, any governmental policies
which cripple the sheep industry strike
a deadly blow at Cedar City and Iron
county. During the war, while prices
in all lines were heavily inflated, and
when a lack Of shipping prevented
the importation of Australian wool.
we enjoyed high prices. But this con-
dition is now at an end, and the for
eign woods are flooding our markets.
Only this week resident of Cedar
City who had consigned his wool to
an eastern comission house, receiving
a loan of soc. per pound on it, received
notice to rebate them 10c. per pound.
Doubtless number of others have re-
ceived similar notices.
With the "Solid South" in the sad
die, and Cotton as King, what hope is
there for an embargo or a protective
tariff on wool? Absolutely none. The
fall of prices Of wool would be hailed
in the Southern States as a wind-fall,
because it might possibly reduce the
price of clothing to some extent.
Which Of the great political parties
stands for America first, last and all
the time? Which party has always
held as Of paramount Importance the
protection of American industries =?
Which party is most likely to grant
an embargo or high protective tariff
on wool? The reader may answer.
We are willing to entrust the fate
of the League of Nations to those stall
wart American statesmen of which
the Republican party has supplied
more than it's share, feeling confident
