It seems the Washington shearers have formed an airtight organization and are demanding 17 Vi cents per head for shearing sheep. This is the price . that has prevailed during the past few seasons 'when the price of wool and mutton was more than twice as high as at present and the growers do not feel their Industry can afford to pay such wages. The growers are effering to pay 15 cents per head and Stanley Coffin, one Yakima man hus MO.Ofifl head ready to shear as soon as .he shearers can get to his flocks.

A suit of Virgin wool is being worn by Mr. Butler. It wus made from wool grown on the backs of Washington Ml Sep and manufactured into cloth by the Bishop Brothers mill a Washougai. In order to demonstrate that the people could secure ral all wool suits made of virgin w-oel at reasonable prices, the woolgrowers of the state of Washington entered into negotiations, with the manager of the mill. Tile wool was figured at 33 cents a pound !c the grower and. the retail price of the wool in each suit cajne to $12.9u. Each of the growers then had his suit ade by his own tailor. The price of making the suits, including the lining. 1 minus etc, variod from $2.u) to $35.00. Some of the difference de pended on materials selected for lin ,?ias. Mr. Butler says the suits are equal to those that have been upwards of $11111.011. If Hoover's Plans Carry, De-' partment of Commerce - Will be Raised to One of Most Im portant in Cabinet.
