EFFECT ON GROWING OF SHEEP IN U. S. . (By Associated ess) CHICAGO, 111., Jan. 21. From the time that "shoddy" began to masquer- . ade as virgin wool tinder the double standard of "all wool, sheep husbandry began to'' decline throughout the , world, Howard E. Greene, of. Chicago, told , the Merchant-Tailor-Designers Association at its annual convention here today. From January, 1911 to January, 1920, he declared, the sheep have declined in numbers in America 5.01R.000, he said. "Twenty years ago, "all wool" cloth meant cloth made from wool that had never before been manufactured." Mr.

: Greene said. "At that time, the shod- j

dy manufacturers found methods whereby they were able to carbonize out of rags all except their wool content. This process gave them the excuse to call their cloth "all wool." Then, arose the double standard of the term. Wool Substitutes Use Grows. "In recent years, the practice of manufacturing "all wool cloth from wool substitutes has grown so rapidly that, in 1919, they made up two-thirds ' of the raw material used in such

fabrics by American mills. The chief I

wool substitute is shoddy old rags, remade in some cases as often as eight times. "Reworked, rags may be made np ;Jnto handsome fabrics. They are never used in the place of virgin wools of the same grade, but in place of virgin -wools of higher grades and enter into many cloths which the purchasers 'have a right to believe made not only of virgin wool, but of the best virgin I wool. The hooverizing of rags during the world war gave the shoddy manufacturers an unprecedented supply of raw, material, yft their demand more r than kept pace with the development -of the rag resources. "It is estimated that the cotton used I in wool woven goods amounts to onefifth of the amount of scoured virgin 'wool used. A fifth of the scoured vir'gin wool consumed here In 1919 amounts to 62,000,000 pounds. So, all ' the scoured wool manufactured for any purpose 313.000,000 pounds together with 62,000,000 pounds of cotton would :have amounted to 375,000,000 pounds, which is 400,000,000 pounds les3 than the quantity required to make the output of wool woven goods entirely from pure virgin wool. : Many Make Own Shoddy. , . "There is no way at present to arrive at the exact amount of shoddy vised in cloth manufacture, because many mills which are not listed as Fhoddy mills make -their own-shoddy. Furthermore, there is no known chemical test that can determine exactly how much of any given material is made up of shoddy. "From, the time shoddy began to masquerade as virgin wool, from the moment -the shoddv manufacturers benn to artificially divert the public demand for new wool from the wool rrower to the rag-picker, sheep husl'tTifiry began to decline throughout th" world. "America has all the natural renuirements needed to make her the rreatest wool country in the world and her output of virgin wool should be Inrsre enough to eliminate shoddy from every citizen's wardrobe, but today America is a minor wool producer.

'Bare feet and tattered clothes, little to eat and less to wear, such is the

fate of thousands of children in central and eastern Europe. These boys in ; Poland are cnly a sample of the 3,500.000 destitute youngsters that the hjuro-'. pean Relief Council plans to help through the cold days of the coming winter, j To that end eight great organizations in America have merged to form the j Council, the chairman of which is Herbert Hoover. Under his leadership the j American Relief Administration, the American Red Cross, the American ! .Friends' Service Committee (Quakers), the Federal Council of the Churches of! Christ in America, the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, the Knights of! Columbus, the Y. M. C A. ami the Y. V. C.

and contiguous islands has an annual output of 740,000,000 pounds. South America chiefly Argentine produced 470,000,000 pounds. Even South Africa has a higher production than America. In view of the foregoing facts, you will understand why the National Sheep and Wool Bureau of America decided at' its annual meeting in the t-ummer of 1919 to take up the fight to check the 'sale of shoddy as virgin wool under cover of the double standard term, 'all wool.' "Its officials knew that every pound of wool produced must expect under present conditions to meet from one to eight times the secret competition of its second-hand product They realized that the law of supply and demand had ceased to operate in the wool business They understood that the reinstatement of natural economic pro

cesses could only be achieved by the ; removal of the ragpicker from thej shepherd's legitimate market so that ; the public demand- for virgin wool ! might get back again into touch with ;

the producers of virgin wool."
