Circular #361
To All Members
Gentlemen:
TRADE agreement WITH THE UNITED KINGDOM
'
-
—
Signed November 17, 1938
Raw wool is not included in the Agreement, The
duties on Wool Wastes, Tops, Yarns, and Manufactured
goods are reduced by varying amounts (see schedule
attached),
The duties on most wool manufactures are compound;
the specific portion is intended to compensate for the
duties on raw wool, and the ad valorem portion to pro
vide protection for domestic manufacturers. The
specific duties on wool manufactures are in general not
changed, but there is a provision that if hereafter the
duties on raw wool are lowered, the specific rates will
be correspondingly reduced.
The most important concession is on woven fabrics
weighing more than four ounces per square yard (total
imports in 1937, $8,750,000; from the United Kingdom,
$7,300,000).
Under the most-favored-nation treatment, con
cessions by the tmrted states apply to all nations
except Germany.
The Agreement will go into effect on January 1,
1939, for an initial period of three years, and may
continue in force Indefinitely thereafter, subject to
termination by either Government on six months’ notice.
Yours very truly,
H. CLYDE MOORE

February 20, l©30
Draper and Company, Xn^*,
231 Sumer Street, ■
Boston, Mass*
I Gentlemens
Have Just thia minute returned from Buffalo and am
hurrying things to get these papers In th© air mil.
Received your telegrams, and confiinn my reply to your
first me, as follows:
*My office reported today Silberman contracted twenty-five
hundred ‘fleeces Gasper at Twenty cents stop I have approx
imately tv/enty thousand fleeces tied up with pre shearing
loons stop Seven thousand Casper balance Buffalo stop All
small clips frewa sixteen grov/ers stop Larger clips will
soon follow stop Grov/ers are beginning to take hold and
doing a great deal of talking stop Sevei’e criticism of
our plan by competitors stop Casper Thureday night.”
Your second message waiting for me on arriving at the office,
and so for as I can learn there is nothing to renort so far aa
competitors are concerned, other than the clip.of 2500 fleecea
Silbexnaan contracted yesterday, aa above confirmation.
X liave three sets of papers waiting for mortgage release,
wl ioh I had to send into th© country, but will forward them in a
day or so. Thero are no drafts Issued against these papers so
there will be no overlapping on them.
I
I wish, upon receipt of this, and after you have had time
.to examine these papers, you would wire me if they ar© O.K. There
ar© BO many things to remember that I am a little anxious about
them.
In this connection, I wish to call your attention to the
Clerk’s Certificate covering Dave A. Elson. We discovered, upon
examining those papers, that the Clerk in Johnson County failed to
affix the seal to this particular certificate, and I have Instructed
him to issue duplicate and mall It direct to your office at once.
I have every reason to believe that I will get a large
tonnage, as you expect. I am hoping that I may land at least a
part of the French Pool from Johnson County, and if the word of
several of the Frenchmen means anything, X know that I will succeed
in getting a nice tonnage from them.
�Our competitors are, of course, putting out all sorts
of propoganda, misstatements, etc., but I think in every instance
it is acting as a boomerang to them, for It is only calling atten
tion more strongly to our proposition, which is meeting with the
approval of all woolgro.vers and all the banks.
Yours very tinily.

Pebxnitiry 21 * 1930
Draper & Compan, Inc.,
231 Suxmer Street,
Boston, I^ss.
Gentlemen:
Another queeticm camo up thle noraing vlth reference to
the marketing agreement, in connection with the enclosed contract
with John J« Sullivan.
Li*. Leo Dunn, who released the ;..ortgafee on Sullivan’s
wool, was a little skeptical about doing so, after reading the
contract wMch allows the gro.zer to withdraw any time by so indi
cating his wish to do so, between the 15th and the Slat day of
.Ally, any given year.
He was wondering if, by signing the mortgage release this
year, if it might become obligatory with his bank to continue to
release it Indefinitely. Or if It Just applied for th© current
year. Will you please give mo this information?
Also, I am asked a hundred times a day what method will
be used in appraising the wools at sheering time. This seems to
be a great line for our corapetltora, who like to leave the im
pression with growers that that’s the "nigger In th© woodpile". *
Of course I have been unable to give them any definite
information on this point and have suggested that possibly a
blanket value might be placed on the various counties,, where
wools are more or loss similar, by striking un average value,
. and in the event of an ei*ror being made either for or aInst
any particular clip. It mlgiit easily be adjusted la Boston, where
the wools are properly graded, and If a difference occurt.. It could
then be either charged or credited to the grower. However, I have
not put this out as definite, but simply to combat the lino of
•
talk put out by our competitors. So, if you can give me something
definite on this, the last stumbling block will be removed.
In reply to a telegram I sent last night to Homer I?ranta
at Fiawlins, have Just received the following:
"Nothing sold or contracted thus for
quiring until thia morning."
Delayed in
The only deal that has been made by any of our competitors,
la the one I reported as made by Silberman. That, in detail, is as
follows: Bobby Richmond, local representative of Silberman at Torland, and working under instructions from Jeremiah I4ahoney of Ca;p er.
�contracted 2500 fleeces from Vincent Escalllor, a young Frenchman.
X made two small contracts in Casper .this morning* which
are in the air nail today.
If you would like a statement weekly or daily of contracts
completed and in the mail* please so advise.
A third contract executed this morning will he delayed
for a few days awaiting mortgage release from Bank at Hanna* Wyo.
Yours very truly.

March 3, 1930
traper and Ccsapanyp
Kearns Building,
Salt Lake City, XJtah*
AttmtlonMi-. CaS.Tu/^g.
Dear :ir» Tuckers
Since our conference In Denver, I have been pretty
busy, covering as caich of the territory as possible, end doing
a great deal of mlsslonery work, explaining to the grov/ers in
the various tosms where I find man waiting and curious to know
Just what the plan we have to offer, might be,
I have covered about 1600 mlloc with my car and secured
quite a bit of wool, considering the newness of tli© plan and the
doubt which seemed to prevail In the minds of most of the growers
who found it liard to believe or understand that 90^ not could be
advanced with absolutely no kick-back. In the event of an over
advance.
Of coureo oui» competitors are putting out all sorts
of propaganda to point out the”nigger in the woodpile" and arouse
suspicion of the growers, which I find necessary to combat every
place I stop*
I called you on the phone some time ago, but was ln»
fonned by your office tliat you were still out In the territory
and would get in touch with me when you returned* I have been away
and so busy, and not being certain that you were in th© office, have
neglected to advise you from tine to time*
X cannot tell you exactly the tonnage that X liave secured
as I .have no record of th© contracts already forwarded to Boston.
But I am holding back at this time approxliajately 43,000 fleeces
covering 30 contracts,- for mortgage releases. Kost of those loans
were made through the ' aahakle Live Stock Loan Company of Borland
and assigned to the Federal Intermediate Credit at Omaha, making It
necessary to forward all papers to Omaha for mortgage release. In
addition to thia amount, I have secured approximately 20,000 fleeces
from the Johnson County growers which have gone forward, and I would
say In the neighborhood of 20,000 more in various places, wlilch are
also either In Boston or In the mall.
�Draper and Company - Salt Lake City - Page 2»
Our competitors are not doing a rushing business*
About the only thing that I am definitely sure of, la as fol
lows 1
Sllberman,- about 20,000 fleeces on consign
ment from Esponda and 3 other
Frenchmen in Euffaloj
Mahoney (who Is Bilberman’s repre
sentative at Casper) consigned his
clip of 3300 fleeces, and Mike Ellis,
3200 fleeces*
Hallowell-Jones: Has secured 1 clip, which X am
certain of,- 3,000 fleeces, belonging
to Hugh Vass at Thexnnopolls, on which
they advanced $1*00 with a promise to
buy at shearing time.
Harris & Company,st.Louis >
are offering promiscuously
19^ for the Basin wools and have approx
imately,- or did have Saturday, 5,000 fleeces
Our plan is making It rather tough for the old line
houses and their local representatives, and we, of course, are
meeting with a lot of opposition from them, but which, I am glad
to say, is easily overcome.
I am enclosing expense account, which Is not Itemized,
for I find that rather a difficult thing to do in traveling as
fast as I have been to keep ti*ack of each item. But I have classi
fied It as follows:
Clerks* fees on 10 contracts
AUto, - 1544 miles
8^
hotel, phones, Western Union
Making a total of ------
; 17.50
123.52
166.82
With reference to the above: I have put out an average
of $1.75 on evei*y contract that I have made. The Clerks require
50pf for certificate, $1.00 for recording and 25/ for each certi
fied copy of pre-.hearing application. I am not at all certain
of the number that I have put through and think, perhaps, it would
be better to wait until I can get an absolute check on same and
charge them up at $1.75 each. In addition to the above, I have
had to pay 50/ on a great many of same, fo#' a notarial seal.

�Draper and Company • Salt Lake City - Page 5
A1bo> with reference to the expense account you
will notice I have charged my auto expense at 8/ a mile.
If the above Is not In accord with the policy of
Draper and Company, will you please so advise and I will en
deavor to adjust It to t elr satisfaction.
I axil enclosing copies of an assignment of my commis
sions already earned and futiwe commlsalonB, to the Wyoming
National Bank. I am drawing on them for expenses and r. Shu
maker, the Vice President, believes that on assignment of this
sort should be secured for the bank files and I will ask you to
please sign and return one c py to me, retaining the other for
your files.
I am leaving in the morning for Lander and lilverton
country and will be gone two days. On my return to Casp r,
expect to {;o north to Buffalo and down tlirough tho Gillette and
Moorcroft country to Lusk, Douglas and back to Casper. If you
wish to get in touch with me at any time. If you will call the
office at Casper, lire. Burns can advise you exactly where to
find me or you can give her the message and she will
it.

281 Sumner Street
Boston
November 29,1930
R. H. Nichols, Esquire,
Casper
Wyoming.
Dear Sir:
Replying to your letter of November 13, in which
you Inquire our reasons for denying Mir. Minty’s claim for
further commissions from Draper & Company, we will say:
First, Draper & Company did not agree to pay I4r.
Minty’s commissions except up to the sum of $1,000 plus
his exoenses. This is confirmed by the original telegram
sent from Washington on February 4 by Mr.Thompson and is
also confirmed by what took place at the Denver conference
where our Mr. Tuttle was present and has reported to us
just what the agreement was.
Second, Mr. Minty did not make any binding agree*
ment for a commission of one-quarter of a cent per pound,
which remained unvaried throughout the season. The talk
at Denver was entirely informal, unconfirmed by letters
or papers, and merely constituted a basis for the beginning
of operations. The duration of his employment and the terri
tory to be covered were merely generally included in the
conversation. At that time the Wyoming Co-operative had
not been fully developed and it was a meeting to enlist
Mr. Minty’s services, without anything more than a general
understanding. ^When field-workers were later introduced,
a further factor appeared which led to an arrangement which
persisted to the end of the season.
Third, It is our belief that a final arrangement was
made between Mr. Minty and the officers of the Wyomi.ng
o-operative, who were the sole parties who negotiated with
Mr. Minty, except for the single appearance of Mr. Tuttle
at the Denver conference; and that this provided that Mr.
Minty was to receive one-eighth of a cent per pound on all
the wool secured in a certain territory, regardless of whether
he secured it or whether other workers in the territory were
responsible. All of the facts confirm this as the real under-
�R. H» Nichols, Esq. - Page 2.
standing and Mr. Minty himself has made statements to that
effect before the present question arose.
During the first year of the co-operative marketing
operations. Draper & Company undertook obligations which
were no part of their contract and provided expense money
to tdce care of field workers. Mr. Minty’s case was just
one of many and, as in several other instances. Draper &
Company in the end, put out considerably more money than
they had stipulated at the outset. Under the circumstances
above outlined, you can see that Draper & Company feels ab
solutely no obligation to pay Mr. Minty anything and con
siders that, rather than making a claim, he should feel much
pleased at the generous treatment accorded him.
Very truly yours,
DRAPER & COMPANY, INC.
