WALLA WALLA. - The Wenaha
Wool Growers Association at its an
nual meeting adopted resolutions
against the payment Of bounties for
predatory animals, opposing any in
crease in grazing fees and in favor Of
the McNary-Haugen bill. The associa-
tion voted as unit to stand back Of
the Washington State Association
which fixed 121s cents a head as the
price for shearing sheep. The shearer
is also to get his board and strikers
are to be blacklisted by both the
Washington and Oregon associations.
Considerable discussion arose over
the question of bounties which re-
suited in resolution requesting the

from the payment of bounties (which
have proven a complete failure in
Kidding our ranges of predatory ami
mails which are causing large losses
annually to this important industry" !"
