Charles B. Stewart Denounces Action
of Forestry Bureau in Pencing

PORTLAND. Ore.. Jen. The National
Wool Orowers- aseorlstlon todsy In a res
olution Indorsed the plea of Dr. William
O. peillman, president of the American
H union association, for a minimum speed
law for the transportation of live stock.
A letter was read from Secretary Wilson
In which he emphasised the Importance of

Results of past tariff revision were
posted In the convention hall today. The
placard related that from 1F91 to 1WH under
the MrKlnley law the Importation ot
woolen race, shoddy and waste amounted
to SOF.M'3 pounds-; from 1SW to 1K97. under
the Wilson Uw. the total was M.2KI.SS0
pounds; from MW to 119. Inrluslve, under
the Dingley law, 7,nl,037 pounds. In plead.
In for stronger organisation Charles B.
Stewart of Palt Lake City paid his respects
to the forestry bureau as follows:
"They created the forestry reserve and
sent wise men from Boston and Philadel
phia to keep us out of the forests, with
the result that millions of acres of range
an which not a tree can grow have been
legally fenced by the government and hun
dreds of thousands of sheep have been
prohibited from going on their accustomed
ranges. Ths fight still Is on.
"Mutton and beef are going higher and
live stock Is decreasing each year. The
grasses not consumed by fire wither Into
dust when they should be producing meat
and clothing to be sold at a reasonable
price to the consumer."
A letter was read from Chief Forester
Graves stating that proper protection of
ths forests required ths restriction of graa
lng In some localities.
Pam Ballantyne, secretary of the Idaho
Wool Growers' association, made a strong
plea for tha inauguration In this country
of ths auction sales system of disposing of
the growers' output, which he said. Would
brtak ths wool dealers' combination and
givs tha manufacturer an independent
source of purchase wool on a competitive
