Woolgrowers Warn of Buyer Price Plot in Idaho
Idaho woolgrowers accuse buyers of forming a price-depressing combination aimed at steering wool to factories. They claim buyers spend freely in Boise, target high commissions, and seek direct factory sales, while some mills already purchase wool directly without middlemen. If no Woolgrowers association meeting is convened, growers may rally eastern mills to buy direct in 1906.
