Supply OUR BILLION POUNDS WOOL IN THE STOREHOUSES Chicago, Aug. 31.-That there are nore than 4,000,000,000 pounds of rirgin (new) wool in the world's store iouses, or soon will be, awaiting manufacture, that the textile mills of the United States used 113,000,000, fewer poinds of virgin wool last year than in 118 and that the drop will be greater this year were some of the statements which Alexander Walker made today in his annual address as president of the National Sheep and Wool Bureau of America, whose head auarters is at No. 23 East Jacksonl Boulevard. Today's conference was the most im portant annual meeting in the history o fthe Bureau. The National Sheep and Wool Bureau of America is an or ganization of firms and organiaztions interested in the sheep and wool in dustry in every part of the Unlted States. For a year, it has been engag ed In getting the People of the country together bdhind the Preineh-Capper Truth in Fabric bili, ,hivh was, left in eansof the- Interstat', and For eign Commerce Committees of th 1'ranches of Congress at adjourn ment. [f elacted, the bill would compel tex -ile iniufacturers to stamp every 7ard of thir cloth entering interstate ommerce with Qs content of virgin vool and of wool substitutes, the chief of which is shodly--old rags, re-work d in some cases as ofteii asi eight itnes. Textile manufacturers consi r the measure as revolutionary as the lure Food law, which was fought by le ilterests for twenty.-six years.

J. ufacturers are meeting their demand for virgin wool cloth with reworked rags, "remarked Byron Wilson, Secre tary of the Wyoming Wool Growers' Association, one of the best informed wool men west of the Mississippi riv er, "there will soon be no wool grown in the United States to supply their demand and no sheep for food pur poses either. Sheep men cannot con, tinue to grow sheep, if the textile manufacturers will not buy their wool at a living profit," His remarks were strongly second ed by J. F. Walker, president of the Fleece Wool States' Association and chairman of the Wool Committee of the American Farm Bureau Federa tion, 11C vontinued: "I doubt if the manufacturers are allowing the people of the Uznited States three pounds of virgin wool per capita thii yea. They need twelve pounds per capita. I remember a short ime ago visiting a certain woolen mill. rlbere wasn't a pound -of virgin wool on the prrmiAsds-nothing but shoddy. They were tuming out woolen blan kets of straight ishoddy, which shoukld not have retailed for more than $15 a pair. When I returned to Chicago, ! found these blankets selling at the lead ing department store for $45 a pair. A compeitor had a special sale of the blankl'tS fotr $39.0 ai pair." George . Wilber, Executlve Conit teeman of the .hio Sheep and Wool Growers' Association, gave it as his opinion that the sheep :.ndustry of America can only be saved by the pro ducers and consumers getting togeth er. He said: . "The people want virgin wool cloth an dthe people receive re-worked rags from the textile manufacturers in its steadt. The textile manufacturers can make more money by using re-worked t'es in t'eir 'all wool' cloth than they rot by buying virgin wvool from the sheep~j TCon at a fair price and using I hat.
