WOOL AUCTION SYSTEM
Criticism By Growers (Rec. 8.30 p.m.) MELBOURNE, March 19. Woolgrowers today criticised the wool auction system and asked for organised marketing similar to the wheat stabilisation plan. Delegates to the annual conference of the Victorian Wheat and Woolgrowers* Association, they directed the executive “in view of the instability of the wool market” to try to establish a floor price in wool sales. One speaker, Mr C. Wohlers, said: “We will no longer be the main asset of our country if we do not get busy on this.” He described the wool auction system as “a farce” and “a shambles” and urged the estab lishment of a wool marketing board.
