Show uu WOOLGROWERS IN PORTLAND, OREGON Portland, Ore., January 2 Notwithstanding Not-withstanding the annual convention of tho National Woolgrowers" union does not begin here until Wednesday, men prominent in all branches of the wool Industry are arriving In Portland in large numbers. I Apparently the tariff law will be the main subject before the convention nnd from the number of men representing repre-senting the manufacturers who will attend and have asked for -places on the program, it seems that a strong effort is going to bo made to form a ' defensive alliance between the grow- I ers and manufacturers to fight a reduction re-duction in the present tariff, either on wool or on woolen products I In conjunction with the convention, ' a show of blooded sheep and goats will be held, and this promises to be one 1 of the finest exhibitions of the kind eer seen in the west. |
