WOOL CONTROL SCHEME
BRITISH MERCHANTS AFFECTED. [BY CABLE —PBESS ASSN. —COPYBIGHT.] LONDON, November 18. The “Evening News” learns that city wool merchants have postponed a mass meeting of protest arranged for November 21, pending fulfilment of the promise by the Minister' for Supply (Dr. E. L. Burgin) to review the control scheme, which, it is alleged, threatened to throw 40 firms out of business.
The city wool trade has fallen from a turnover of' £10,000,000 to almost nothing, because of the control operating from a Midlands city. Firms demand the distribution of all woof purchases from overseas through the normal channels and that all existing importers arid brokers be classified as Government agents and paid commission for their'services.
