to fight the battles over again.
Thus It Is that the Wyoming
truth in fabric law has not been
proven a dead letter but on the other
hand has made It possible for the
citizens Of this state to dress from
head to foot in clothing made OF
virgin wool and so marked under
the law.
From the remainder of the cir
cular issued by the Carded Wooden
Manufacturers it seems that ignor-
ant, deceitful, weak and ~cowardly
leaders Of the woolgrowers have
been carelessly chosen and the card
cd wooden people have neglected to
recommend leaders for the future.
The circular in question points
out the woolgrowers of the past and
their statements cited. The Carded
Wooden Manufacturers continue as
follows:
I'VE Guild fill a large volume with
like evidence of the mistaken course
of the men whom you trusted. What
we have given will serve to recall
how they mislead and mi~srepresent-
, 1923-08-02

and yarns without a registration
number and these numbers could
be cancelled upon the conviction of
the ~violators OF the truth in fabric
law.
Competition among the manu-
facturers OF the country would re-
suit In the checking up Of each
other and co operation with the fed
eral officials.
In fact the real reason for all
the worry on the part of opponents
Of truth -in-fabric legislation is that
such a law could and would be in
forced They take up a good deal
of our time with a supposedly paral-
lei case Of shoddy and virgin iron
ore. However. they neglect to state
that some materials are injured by
use and reworking and some are
not. Whether or not iron would be
so Injured is not the issue. Gold.
silver. brass, lead and most minerals
can be reworked until worn away
W 1 injury to quality or
strength. However. wool fiber can
not be classed with these minerals
for 1t is constantly deteriorating
while in service or in process of
reworking or manufacture.
The Carded Wooden Manufactur-
ers, in order to prove beyond any
doubt that virgin wool and shoddy
fibers can not be distinguished.
have fixed up, what they call, a test
which demonstrates their ability to
fool anybody. To make this test
fair there should be some assurance
that the shoddy and virgin wool
used are such as r used in Or
binary clothing 1t Is possible to
so mangle virgin wool that its fibers
would have the appearance of hav-
ing much more wear than shoddy
woven into cloth under the most
favorable of circumstances. 1t is
highly probable that under such
conditions a test might be rugged up
that would deceive anybody.
Next the Carded Wooden Manu-
%facturers attack Wyoming's virgin
wool law. 1t would have been bet
ter for them to leave that to Wyo-
ming people. In the last session of
the Wyoming legislature there was
no attempt to either amend or re
peal the law and so 1t must be taken
that the people are satisfied with
1t. Furthermore it is the law of
the state and those who fail to live
up to its provisions are law break
ers and may have information filed
against them at any time. If wool
en- goods are not marked at all that
fact can be shown. II the goods
are marked falsely that also can be
easily proven before a judge and
jury.
The Wyoming law is not a dead
letter and very well do the Carded
Wooden people know it. From this
law bills We're drawn that were in
troduced in the legislatures of at
least sixteen states and these bills
were fought to a finish in every in
stance by the organized clothing in
dustry of the United States, thus
making 1T necessary on the part OF
the woolgrowers and others inter
! ested in truth in fabric legislation
, 1923-08-02

statements. have been. made nan
times by opponents Of truth-in-
fabric legislation so 1t is proper to
state here that Strong Hewatt and
Company have nc copy right termed
Virgin Wool" but use virgin wool
as any other firm may If 1t so de-
sires
And finally it is contended by the
Carded Wooden Manufacturers that
they advocate measures Ito protect
the consumers against m~isrepresent-
alton and fraud not only in wooden
goods but in all kinds Of goods. ETC."
The measure opponents OF ruth
in fabric legislation have been ad-
vocating what is called the Lodge
Rogers bill which Is a bill very
carefully drawn by the organized
wooden manufacturing interests as q
substitute for the French apper
truth in fabric bill.
The Lodge Rogers bill is a harm
less bill compelling the marking OF
nothing and it would In no way
interfere with the marking of all
wool shoddy fabrics as "all wool"

ed you regarding this most import
ant question affecting your indus-
try-the tariff on wool during the
forty-four years from 1857 to
1911"
The woolgrowers are next &C
cused OF making a combination with
a wool manufacturing interest in
order to drive a so called indefens-
ible labelling bill through congress
with one small firm, Strong =
Hewatt and Company, whose Of
ficers Alexander Walker. F. B. Van
Saun and George D. Briggs have
been made officers of the National
Sheep and Wool Bureau.
This needs no denial. w o =
growers would take other wooden
manufacturers into the combination
IL others could be found who care
to mark their merchandise as to
| whether 1t is made OF new or second
hand material.
Another part of the circular
would seem to infer that Strong
Hewatt and Company had the trade
mark Virgin Wool Fabrics. Similar

good az they look and deceive no
M Part Of the immense quaint
ties OF shoddy or recovered wool
Abers go to make fabrics that CON-
pete in every way with the fabrics
made OF high grade virgin wool.
These shofdy fabrics have the added
quality of wearing out soon and so
need to be replaced often and SO
increases volume Of business. Shod-
dy Is a very valuableyally to the con-
Germ in the clothing industry who
Is almost but not quite honest.
Then our Thoughtful correspond
ent says:
"But this Is not tho worst of 1t.
Not only would the proposed bill de-
cieve and cheat the consumers, but
It's provisions are impossible OF en-
forccmcnt for the simple rcasOn that
when wool fbcrs are mixed and
manufactured into yarns and fabrics
it is impossible to distinguish the
fbers that have been previously
spun or woven from those that have
not. Both kinds are wool; both
give the same reactions to chemical
tests; and both AVE the same ap-
pcarancc under the MICROSCOPIC"
This statement is untrue except
the following: Both kinds are
wool: both give the same reaction
to chemical tests" The statement
Both have the same appearance
under the microscope" is partic-
ularly
Our correspondent bases his claim
that the Truth in Fabric law can
not be enforced on the assumption
that shoddy fbers and virgin wool
| GLn~, ,nnpnt no Iiatir n,ichnI IIN~
ever, high authorities on the matter
maintain that they can be distin-
guished and this information was
impaired to the Inter State and
Foreign Commerce Committee of
the National House of eRpresent-
atives, during the last hearing on
the French Capper Truth in Fabric
bill. by a representative of the De
partment of Agriculture Bureau OF
Chemistry.
The Truth in -Febric bill would
| give federal agents sufficient power
to obtain all necessary information
to enable them to secure convic-
tons in cases of violation of that
law. Power Of enforcement would
be assigned to the Secretary of the
Treasury, the Secretary OF the In
terror and to the Secretary of Agri-
culture and is contained in the fol
lowing section of the FrenchCapper
bill:
land they shall have power
to inspect the plant, raw ma
tcrials, methods, and the books
Of all manufacturers from. time
to time as may be deemed ncces-
sary under such rules and reg
lation rs they may pre-
scribe"
Another important element which
would enter into the enforcement of
the truth in fabric law is the public
sentiment, which without doubt,
would be in favor of such legisla
ton. 1t could also be made unlaw-
full to manufacture wooden fabrics

How Foot Ball Is PLAYED
'BS SOL METZGER-

CCOUTS of foot ball teams that
- have earned a place in the game
would be wasting time trying to
get the signals of future opponents.
Furthermore, it is absolutely impos-
sible for them to hear the signals
from the places they seek high up in
the stands. We doubt very much if
any scouts ever try to get oppo-
nents' signals.
Surely, if they fear an opponent to
the extent that they will play crook
ed to defeat him, it is reasonable to
suppose this opposing team is better
coached, and that II Will, therefore,
have a system for changing its sig
nails during a game. The matter of
changing signals is not difficult with
team. 1t can be done at moments
notice during a game without causing
the least bit of confusion.
We know of only one instance in
foot ball wherein scout ever brought
back signal. The story was told US
twenty years ago. A scout for a cer-
tain team in Texas learned one sig
nal used by the Texas University
team-the run of the Texas right end
around the other end. When this
team played Texas, 1t had been coach
ed to run to the end attacked when
this play was called.
1t just happened that Texas had
signal for the run of the right end
now meant direct buck through the
line of the back on that side. When
the signal was called the team on de-
Tense rushed to its right end to stop
the play. wfile the Texas halfback
