these organized labor-haters and in
our case it is the only effective wea-
pom.
The man who dictates the cheap
labor policies of the lamb and NUT
ton raisers is Fred w. Marshall, sec
rotary of the National Woolgrowers'
Association, whose address is 500
Mccormick Bldg, Salt Lake City,
Utah.
In closing we ask the officials of
organized labor to address a COM
munication to the secretary of the
National W%oolgrowers' Association
informing him that the labor move
ment will sponsor a program of wild
life and game preserves on the for
ests in the west, should the officials
of the wool growing industry con-
tinue their refusal to recognize the
Sheep Shearers' Union and also con-
tinue their policy of cheap labor
preferential hiring.
Lukewarm action on our boycott
by organized labor will have no eff
feet on the wool growing and farm
associations. Militant action is
needed.
A. A. EVANS, President.
