authorizing President Wilson to invite
all nations to send delegates TO an in
ternational conference to consider
ways and means.
Although all members of the com
mittee voted for the proposal, Demo
Gratis objected to its adoption now,
on the ground that it might embar-
rass the president. They contended it
was a question which should be con-
sldered by President-elect Harding.
Chairman Porter, an advocate of the
movement, insisted, however, that 1t
was the desire to have the resolution
ready for Mr.. Harding if Mr.. Wilson
did not act on it.

WOOLGROWERS ARE
TACKLING PROBLEM
DELEGATES AT NATIONAL CON-
vENTioN DISCUSS PLANS
FOR YEARS WORK.
Will Endeavor to Secure the Protection
Of Tariff and Will investigate
Measures Of Cooperative Mar
ketino and Manufacturing.

Salt Lake City.-At the opening
session of the annual convention of the
National Woolgrowers' association, on
January IL, II was made clear that the
woolgrowers will push their efforts to
secure the protection of a tariff they
will investigate closely and adopt
measures of cooperative marketing {
they will avail themselves of the bene.
fits TO be derived from the licensed
and bonded warehouslng act, and they
Will wear clothes made from "pure
virgin wool grown in the United
States"
President Frank ]. Hagenbarth of
the association sounded the keynote
OF the convention as one of business,
one In which the sheepmen are to con-
fer on their urgent economic problems
and to take measures to deal with
them.
Upward of 500 sheepmen, and some
women, too, came from all the western
states and many eastern points to at
tend the convention. And they
brought with them, If not their fight
Ing clothes, at least fighting frame of
mind; for there was no denying the
feeling present among those about the
convention hall that they are going to
get out and take most active meas
ures for the preservation and better
ment of their industry.
The report Of the success which has
attended the efforts of Montana
growers to find market for their
product. through the manufacture. of
their virgin wool into cloth for cloth
ing, into blankets and other CONNER
cial products, was welcomed with a
roar of approval.
President Hagenbarth was greeted
with prolonged applause when he char
acterized this work Of the Montana
men as paving the way ito what per-
haps may lead to the greatest wool
mill In the country, and serving at
least notice to the middleman that the
producers are awake to their methods"
Governor Charles II. Mabey well
coined the sheepmen on behalf of the
state and was introduced by President
Hagenbarth as one-time sheepherder
who knows the problems of the In
dustry. Governor Mabey expressed
his sympathy with the difficulties the
woOlmen have encountered In recent
months and pledged himself and the
state to their support.

UNREST IS AIDED BY
SCHOOL CONDITIONS
SUCH is CHARGE MADE BY PREsi-
DENT OF UNITED STATES
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Says Short Sighted Policy in Failing
to Recognize Dignity Of Teaching
Profession Has Led TO Glass
Consciousness in Profession.

Westinghouse Conditions In the pub
lie schools are contributing much to
unrest throughout the country, and
the situation has become so serious
that the states and the nation should
cooperate To remedy them, according
TO statement issued by Joseph II.
Defrees, president of the United
States Chamber of Commerce.
Our short-sighted policy in failing
TO recognize the dignity of the teach
ing profession has led to class con
seriousness In that profession which
has made itself felt in the classroom
and left It's indelible imprint upon the
impresslonable minds OF the young"
declared Mr.. Defrees, who adds that
of the 100000 public school teachers In
the United States:
One hundred thousand are under
the age of 81;
Thirty thousand have no education
beyond the eighth grade;
One hundred and fifty thousand
have no education beyond the third
year high school; and
-Four hundred and eighty thousand,
or four-fifths of the total have not
had two years of special training, the
minimum required in other countries.
"One reason why radicalism has not
made the same Roadway In the United
States that it has In Europe" Mr.. De
frees continues, sis the fact that hun
dreds of men occupying positions of
the greatest Importance in this coun-
try began life as poor boys. But what
have we got to say of the inequalities
of education?
Eighteen thousand classroOms in
this country are said to have stood
idle last year through lack of teachers
Taking an average of twenty-five pu-
pills to each classroom, that means
100000 children We're either denied
education altogether, or were crowded
into their classrooms, where they were
given such education as they could get
from an overworked, underpaid, un
dertrained teacher"

The vote was "a to % in favor of
the 10000 limit. and party lines were
broken, Democrats and Republicans
being almost equally divided, both in
support and opposition.
This vote was taken, although Gen
eral Pershing and Secretary Baker, at
an executive session with the military
affairs committee just before the con-
vening of the senate, objected to any
serious cut in the size of the army
General Pershing suggested 100000 a
the minimum limit.
Several amendments regulating the
application of the reduction were
adopted the most important of which
would require the war department to
maintain all services on an equal basis,
equal to 1914 per cent of the total
strength in each branch contemplated
by existing army reorganization
statutes. Another would authoriz
the discharge of any enlisted man upon
his application, if approved by the sec
rotary of war. Committee estimates
were given the senate that the present
size of the army, about 213,OOO men
would be reduced under the resolution
by enlistment expiration to 10000 by
next December.
