, - Salt Lake City, Jan. 21. A defi
nite step to show where the blame
lies for extremely high prices for
clothing and possible profiteering:
: wu taken at Tuesday's session of the
s flfty-fifth'annual convention of the
National Woolgrrowers association,
.when it was voted unanimously by
the body to wire a statement of its
lews to United States Senator Cap
per of Kansas, who is starting an in
vestigation from Washington, D. C,
and has wired the association for its
stand on the question.
SATS PUBLIC IS DUPED
I. F. MrnLany of Chicago, secretary of
the national sheep and wool bureau. In
a speech here last week before the Utah
state association, contended that the
public If paying from $50 to 7S for a
suit of clothes containing not more than
15 or 16 worth of wool and that clothing
fabrics are represented as all wool
wnen muuiiciurca rrom snoady, or
1 wool that has been used one or more
times.
Establishment in the principal centers
by the wool growers of the nation of
selling agencies to dispose of their pro
duction direct to the manufacturer. In
stead of the present system by which
brokerage and commission merchants
are placed in the position of the middle
man, was advocated today by Dr. S. W.
McClurs. retiring secretary. In his ad
dress, "A Market ror Our Wool."
SPECULATORS ARE BLAMED
McClure pointed out that the wool of
the country Is handled almost exclusively
by speculators whose Interest It is to buy
the wool at the lowest price and sell It
at the highest price, and. In addition to
this, fix conditions under which the wool
is sold. If the prospects are for better
prices, the dealer buys the wool out
right, but If the prospects point to lower
wool, then the dealer takes it on com
slgnment. he explained. In the one
ease, where there is probability of a
profit, the dealer reaps the reward, but,
on the other hand, where -a loss is im
minent, the grower Is left holding the
sack, he declared, pointing out that the
' establishment by the growers of their
own selling agencies would make thTfl
both the producer and the middleman
and allow them to reap the reward as
well as bear the burdens.
WEW NF.CRF.TART CHOSEN

Woolgrowers" association, succeeding Dr
S. W. McClure, will be F. R. Marshall

tendered him by the association in con-
'ventlon. Dr. McClure has resigned to

points of transfer Kobe and Yokohama
and again in unloading at Vladivostok.
"Rough handling Is done purposely In
many instances," says the letter, "so
that the cases may be broken open and I

ARMENIAN YOUTH
REACHES PORTLAND
AFTER LONG TRIP
17-Year-0ld Nephew of Cartozian
Brothers Shows Himself to Be
Master of Many Difficulties.
With' a good sense of direction,
but without knowledge of English
or mode.n money values as con
ceived by American railroad com
panies, Nersess Cartozian, 17-year-old
nephew of the Cartozian broth
ers of Portland, has arrived here
to make his home after travels that
brought him from Sivas, Turkey,
to Oregon, alone.
Notwithstanding the hazards of such
a journey without a companion, and
even without acquaintances speaking
his own tongue, the Armenian youngster
can account for every cent of money
he had when he started.
PARENTS WAKN HIM
When the lad left the parental roof
to cast his lot with his uncles and
cousins In Portland he was repeatedly
admonished that his way was beset by
many trials most of them In the form
of gentlemen who traffic In the Inno
cence of young Immigrants and under
pretext of friendship fleece them of
their meagre funds. Nersess was suc
cessfully admonished and he testifies
that throughout the trip he carefully
avoided untoward acquaintances.
With the aid of American mission
aries in Turkey the boy got a govern
ment pass to go to Constantinople "for
military training," since, had his real
Intention been known to the authorities,
he would have beer restrained from
leaving his home city. At Constantino
ple other church folk aided the traveler
In getting his passports.
FIST CLASPS MONET
Arrived at New York after some nar
row escapes in Paris and other French
cities, where he kept his fist tightly
closed about his purse, the only knowl
edge the boy had of Portland and Ore
gon was that "they were a long way
off." But he didn't know how much
money would be demanded to bring him
here.
He hauled out an envelope bearing
his uncles' business address and wrote
upon Its 4 face "$20," with a question
mark. The agent Indicated that such a
price would be too small. The lad wrote
various sums, each with a question
mark, until he gave up the effort to
guess the fare and had the agent write
It. The figure went above $100 and the
lad employed his best talents in jockey
ing for the difference. Eventually the
agent succumbed and sold the ticket for
the $100 and paid the difference himself.
Meanwhile the Portland uncles were
not aware of thev nephew's approach.
They were advised that he was about to
start, but had nothing more definite.
Their surprise was great when welfare
workers at union station called them to
say the lad was In the city.
Thus ended for the Armenian lad a
journey that started in his dreams many
years ago. He cherished that dream
throughout the troublesome days of war,
when he and his people were forced to
flee the wrath and the massacres of the
Turks. For tw years the boy was a
refugee in a mountain retreat, hiding
out of reach of the Turks.
