THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL PORTLAND, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1918. WOOL. GROWERS WANT LAW COMPELLING FACTORIES TO LABEL SHODDY GOODS SHEEP MEN FIND ITIflM III mi National Association Adopts Res olution Requesting Standard ization of All Factory Goods. RIGHTFUL PROFIT IS SOUGHT Protest: Made Against Use of Shoddy In Army Blankets; Pro ' tective ITariff of No Avail. The National Wo5laxowers associa tion at its recent 'aisjual convention adopted a resolution condemning the 'use of wool substitutes for soldiers' and 'sailors' clothing and blankets and re ' commending the branding and tagging -of all adulterated woolen, goods so as to show the consumer the amount of wool contained therein, f . . ,. The resolution' Is 1 the crystallisation' of a - rapidly Increasing sentiment that . the perpetuation of the wools; rowing m d us try depends upon; the enforcement of a law which will standardise wool ' and shoddies. Protective tariffs. It has been demonstrated, will give the grower no protection until goods, made from shoddy : and other substitute are compelled by law to be branded sis to their contents 'In order that the 'consumer may know Just what he Is spenhlng his money for. Competition of jshoddy Harts '" There Is nothlng-which the woolgrow er needs protection against so much as he does against bid rags which are worked HJver and so d as wool. It wool were sold. is wool and shoddy as shoddy under the natural law of sup ply and demand an wool only have to - compete with wool . Instead of shoddy there would be' littl 1 need of the wool grower to seek a hi ch protective tariff. When wool is sold it Its natural value It wilt bring a prtc that will pay suf ficient 'profit to teifipt people Into the woolgrowing business, so that millions of acres In land in America, that are lying idle would soon have . flocks of sheep grazing over them. - Standardising .Law Heeded j From the standpoint of Justice there is nothing wrong with the requirement that goods should be labelled Just what they are, wool as wool and shoddy as Shoddy. The consumer could then .pur chase what suits him best. There could . be no valid objection against making i clothing from shoddy .but it should be gold as shoddy. , Until there Is legislation compelling shoddy manufacturers to brand truly their product the woolgrower will have ' to bring his price down to meet the price of shoddy. ' One of the earliest and moat persist ent advocates of better protection for the woolgrower Is C. A. Coopey, who ' savs: "There are two or three phases of this question which must be taken up if the honest maker 01 lanrics or ciotn 4ns. la to exist.

IS PREPARING TO TRAIN WIDOWS OF SOLDIERS Occupations Which Will Be Se lected Have Not Been An nounced Yet. It Is reported that the British min istry of pensions Is preparing a scheme under which the widows' of soldiers and sa'Hors can. receive training In some occupation whereby to become partially If not wholly self support ing. These occupations; have not yet been" designated, but there are certain callings for , which . women are well adapted,, and experience during the war has proven the adaptability of women for clerical and other kinds of commer cial work. " Conditions likely to! obtain after the war as well as present needs must enter Into the plan. After the war ends there will undoubtedly be an overaup ply of stenographers," as many tempo rary government oinces will be no longer needed with their large clerical taffs, and the same will apply to many private business. In this and similar occupations training would be restrict ed to those who had possessed knowl edge of the work before marriage and could by a short course of instruction regain their former proficiency. A course or training will not be on sldered advisable where there are chil dren unddKlt years of age unless ade quate provision is made for their care I wmw sw ,w mvii a Mauu tag. The fee,. If any, for the training, ex elusive of cost and maintenance If living In the institution In which the training Is given will be paid by the ministry and .will not ordinarily exoaed 1L80 per week. : The ministry may also in some cases make a maintenance al lowance at a maximum of 13 per week. A normal training period of three months is contemplated, but in the more skilled or semi-professional occu pations a longer time may be neces sary. Mohair Growers Are Courting Attenion The growers of mohair believe that It should receive greater attention for army supplies, particularly for saddle blankets, girths, tents and airplane cov ering. It sells for practically the same price as wool, but has less shrinkage and unusual wearfng qualities. President U. 8. Grant of the National Mohair Growers' association, ' whose home is in Dallas, Or., has written Rep resentative Hawley that representatives of the organization will be in Wash ington to urge a greater use of mohair.

These buyers have been la the habit of turning local manufacturers away for the reason that they have been given markets.

Schad, Foundry Superintendent," - Phono Eatut 726 Real Cause of War Traced Back to Hogs An Ingenious philosophic historian, seeking cause and effect in the present cataclysm, has traced its origin entirely to pigs. The line of reasoning seems fairly direct. Serbia Is chiefly a plg ralsing country; it has for years de pended for Its economic prosperity al most entirely upon the export of this product. Unfortunately this little peo ple could send its pigs to the outside world by way of Austria, which had the unpleasant habit Of closing the ports whenever she desired to discipline her cantankerous neighbor. Serbia's desire for expansion, particularly her amblton for a port on the Adriatic, has been mainly for the purpose of obtaining a trade route by which her pigs could get access to the markets of the world. Hence all the troublous times In the Bal kans, and hence ultimately this calamity. Whether the pigs started the war, how ever, it seems not Improbable that, they will play an important part In ending it. At least that Is a fact which Mr. I Hoover and his associates .are attempt ing to Impress upon the American con sumer and the American farmer. Gets 90-Year Sentence Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Feb. 2.

Under normal circumstances Great Britain is dependent to m great extent for its supplies of timber on Norway, Sweden, Russia and' Denmark; but, owing to shipping restrictions, supplies from these sources have seriously di minished, thereby causing almost solely a reliance upon native-grown timber. The government has now deemed It advisable to appoint a controller of ttm bar supplies, with the object of superlh tending the domestic production. -It is expected that consumption will gradual ly Increase during the continuation of hostilities, and official maximum prices have now been fixed. Since its Inception the timber department has purchased an estimated 75,000,000 cubic feet of na tive timber, of different varieties at 1 cents per cubic foot. The colliery asso ciations have requisitioned a considera ble quantity of this wood for pit props, etc., And it Is computed that to meet : the further- requirements of the coal mines for the ensuing year-1,000,000 tons of wood will be required. Two million tons of sawed wood Is also desired, and the government would be satisfied if this amount la obtained, although an ad ditional 1,000,000 tons would be advan tageous. i Confidence Is expressed that these re quirements can be satisfied from native production. Careful attention is also being given to a possible scheme of re forestation and a government recon struction committee has prepared a re port which will probably be Issued In a few days. The Idea of rendering state aid to timber growers in the form of a guaranteed price Is not considered fea sible, on account of the long period of time which would be embraced. Utility Garment Co.

It has been understood! however, that the manager has not been pleased with the factory's local support, and that he se riously considers removal to a state loyal to Its home Industries. Such is a trait inherent In Callfornlans and a great many other prosperous sections of. prosperous states. of receipt of our bid. We do not under stand this. "We know of shops in Portland over run with, government orders, and yet it appears that we cannot get so much as a look-in. -And because the government pays extravagant prices for its work, shipbuilders can afford to pay high wages to their men. In fact, they are guaranteed 10 per cent profit on their contracts, no matter, what the cost, and the higher the wages the greater the profit. Shops, therefore, not engaged in government work, find it extremely, dif ficult to obtain workmen, for the rea son that they cannot charge their private customers a .price which will warrant the payment of wages received by ship yard machinists." Manacera of other machine shops rtavinar no connection with the govern ment are in like dilemma They cannot understand why It Is that they seem to i be ostraolsed.
