Show THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, SUNDAY 3I0RNING, 'DECEMBER 19, Senator Warren of, Wyoming Joins Others in Relief Bill. mg Urg-Prom- pt Present Emergency Is De-dared So Acute as to Be Actually Startling. gpclal to Th Tribun. WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 --Further light on the plight of the wool Industry wu thrown by Senator Warren of Wyoming In a speech made In the senate a few days ago, In which he substantiated the statements previously jtade by Senator Smoot and others. K. the purpose of showing the necessity for prompt relief for the wool Industry, either through an embargo or by other means. Senator Warren said. "Wishing to ascertain something of the condition of the market. I wired yesterday to one of the large sheep growing concerns In the west for their latest re. tarns on mutton shipped to Kansas InCity, reend X have In my hand a telegram head, ewes, ply stating that the net per Kanaaa City 11.15. waa the That upon good sheep. The to, which has farket concern referred and years In the business which shipped these sheep, has been at in head a an expense of from 17 to HI animals of that kind during the raising past tew years. wi Clip Value Declines. - "While speaking of the market on mutton, I might as well mention the market, or, rather, lack of market, for wool. This same western concern received for its wool clip of 1919 a net return of 21,006 over and above aH shipping and selling expenses. The clip from that same corporation lk now lying in Boston, equally good, possibly better, and would not bring in the gross, from all the Indications that I am enabled to secure. 1100,000, and from this will have to be deducted something over 176.000 for transportation of the clip more than 2000 miles, the commission grading and so percentages, storage, forth. In other words. It would not bring d at the present time more thag about of what It brought a year ago, even If It could be sold at all; and, of course, the expenses of raising the present years clip havp been higher than they ever one-thir- were before. Letters Tell of Plight. "I have a great many letters and telethe extreme distress respecting thkt prevails in the woolgrowtng Industry, Of course, there Is some distress In the agricultural line as to all products, but these particular product sheep and wool seem to be the ones which suffer mPst and which will result, unless quick relief is afforded, in very many financial failures. The Worst of It is that such .failures are not confined altogether to the growers, but from documents that 1 have In hand, and many more in my of. Ice, hankers In those communities that are undertaking to carry these farmers through, as they have done before, and as is usual in all parts of the country, are In deep trouble, and so they ere sending in many of these petitions X do not propose to burden "The record with any particular number, but I am going to read one or two expressions contained . in some ot them. "I have one letter from n Individual a grower, very conservative man, and from that I quot: Am writing about the necessity for an embargo or temporary relief on wool at the present session of congress. It1 seems to me that the government owes us something after fixing wool prices at grams less than the market price during the war, ami it seems to me that It would be to the advantage of the country at large to save this Industry from absolute ruin.. After having gone through the period of high wages and operating expense. Increased tremendously by the drought and hard winter, we have for-no market for wool on account of the eign wool dumped In here with no tariff and ths'idvantage to the importers of the present exchange rates; giving them a premium of some 36 per cent. Foreign wool was brought here very largely by the government of the United States, Which feared that the wool produced In this country, even though It were all absorbed, as It was absorbed at their own figures, would not carry them through. So they Imported enough to keep the manufacturers busy In manufacturing the cloth needed by the government, and were forehanded enough no that at the time the armistice came they had on hand some 00,000.000 pounds of wool, which was made up quite largely of wool brought from foreign countries, and which has very much helped to glut the market, since the war department has engaged In wool selling almost continuously from that time. Britain Bought Clip. "This wras a market where there was money for wool, there wa an equally good market with the British government The British government agreed to take the wool of all of the growers In Us provinces at an agreed price during the wer. and until some In other words, until Juns 30, 1920. "Owing to high freights across th water and the good market here, the wool market was sustained until Way last, when, In fact. It dropped nearly out of In value in almost the twinkling of sight an eye. Inside of ten days wool that had started In transit on Its way to reach a market about equal to that of last year found no market, and now lies dead In the eastern markets, while the cost of handling, owing to high cost of labor and advanced freight rates, etc,, la (Beater than ever before. years-there-aft- er; terday, that this Industry will absolutely perish umess seme relief Is soon afforded it. "An embargo for a few months against all receipts bf wool from foreign countries could. It seems to me. hurt ns one. Those countries have large stocks of wool for home consumption, go have wa. And while prices might not be greatly increased wool could bo sold for home consumption and th congestion would thus be relieved." 11 of Artmo snd Paul Nash of MeCammon.
