 Worthington c. Ford, chief of the de. pertinent of statistics of the Boston pulp lie literary, contended that free trade would be the outcome of a threatened breakdown of the "superstructure of the general tariff condition of Europe.
 At the session this evening two papers, "The Negro in the Yazoo, Mississippi, Delta" by Alfred H. Stone, of Greenville, Miss, and Consolidation and Arbitration Among Miners,' by Herman Jdsti, Com missioner of the Illinois Coal Operators Association. were read.
 MT. Stone portrayed the condition of ne- gro labor in the northwestern part of the Mississippi, where the blacks repre- sent some 87 per cent of the population. Elsewhere he said the methods and tradi- ton of the old plantation days are pre- served. Race troubles and conflict are unknown, and this was not due. he con tendeu, 10 sedentary populaIion' put rather to the preponderance of the blacks, which draws a sharp line between the laboring classes and the directive classes.

SHOULD ENFORCE
 THE TRUST LAWS Lockwood Severely CriticiSeS RooseveIt's Statement IT. SUITS THE MONO9OLIES He Says If the Sherman Law Was RieidIy Enforced There Would
 Be No Need for Further
 Legislation.
IT. SUITS THE MONODOLlES

Terry, Texas, December 2S.-M. L. Lock- wood, of Zelienople, Penn. president of the Antitrust League, has given out a statement in which he criticizes at length the recommendations made by President Roosevelt for a national law to govern trade combinations. MT. Lockwood con- tends that there Is no necessity for any further legislation on the subject; that a rigid enforcement of the Sherman anti trust law would be sufficient to effect ually suppress and restrain hurtful trade and industrial combinations. He then says
 "Does not every one know that these industrial combinations have destroyed competition, have created monopoly, and are now robbing the American people of hundreds of millions of dollars annually to pay dividends on billions of watered stock and that some of these dividends are 4S per cent annually for water and all? What more publicity does he want?'
 MT. Lockwood alleges that trusts de- sire just what Is recommended in the message, and that their attorneys advo- cated 1t before the civic federation con ference. He says:
 And would It not be well TOT the RTeS- ident, who has sworn to enforce the laws, to have his attorney general begin pro- ceedings in earnest under the provisions of the Sherman antitrust law against these trusts and monopolies and against these illegal railroad combines before he asks for any further federal legislation on ths subject? If he will see that the laws are faithfully enforced against these trusts, and will maintain equal rights to every American citizen over the highways of the land in the transportation of their products, he will be surprised to see what multitude of captains of indus try will spring up ready to give the con sumers of America their necessities at comparative prices, at 6 per cent profit upon the actual capital invested. Let him guarantee equal rights and equal oppor- tunities and the American people will take care of the trade of the world; neither will they ask the people at home to pay ten times the profits upon their necessities at which they are yelling to sell the same goods in foreign coun- tries"
 He criticizes the recent conference of labor and capital at New York, and says
 "They have created kind of supreme court, and have made Senator Hanna chief justice thereof they have set up a kind of government inside of and inde- pendent of the regular government of the people,

 "Few people realize that most sick nesses start from colds which developed into different affections and finally be- comes chronic, settling often on the lungs and frequently causing serious trouble in the pelvic organs, while in women it develops into diseases pecu- liar to the sex.

 "A weak and sick woman must not expect to bear well children.
