Portland Wool Interests Oppose Boston Through Rates
Portland wool dealers and warehousemen opposed the Boston Wool Trades association bid for joint through rates on West Coast wool shipments.

Witnesses cited cost advantages of local scouring and claimed eastern mills and Boston buyers push lower prices via competition.
